What can I do?

[StrandShedder]

Okay, so here's the deal. I'm 17 and am experiencing hairloss. I'd say I'm at a Norwood 1 with some crown thinning. Now, I know it's not a lot, but I am a bit young. My plan was to get a job this summer, but because of all the General Motors bullshit, the chances of me getting a job are slim. There goes my plan. Does anyone have any suggestions at all. Please, I'm starting to get desperate! It wasn't a big deal, but I've been noticing more hair falling out. Now I'm starting to get depressed and worried, and I don't just want to sit back and watch my hair go away. It's high school, the years when girls are the most superficial. Can anyone think of anything I can do?
My parents say it's just something you have to go through, and thus, they won't buy me Rogaine. They don't have a clue what it's like. My dad started losing hair when he was 20 and had a wife. Me? I'm a seventeen year old antisocial guy who hasn't had a girlfriend since the seventh grade. With no way to make money, it's basically hopeless. :lost:

Oh, and I might be able to get pics up soon

First, lets see your pics, see if this is actually something you should be stressing yourself over (more stress causes more hairloss,)

Then, seriously talk to your dad, he has to know what this is like.. that is bullshit.. Even act depressed infront of them to get it into their heads.. If my kid was balding id be paying for everything he needed. Nizoral and Minoxidil (rogain,) is what you should be getting on as soon as possible, your dad being 20 and balding it sounds like it's in the family, so explain that to your father, if he doesn't listen.. I dunno dude, go work at a grocery store, money + car = women, at your age... well, at every age

But yeah, get some pics up, I was like you at that age, I did not actually have a girlfriend till I was 19.. I made myself believe I was an ugly guy because of my hair when most girls actually thought I was a handsome guy. I had NW1 back then as well, no one but me noticed it, but still.. the sooner you get on rogain and nizoral, the better.
