Today, like any other day for a year, I'm 17 years-old. Today, like any other day, I have my hair styled in a combover because I'm bald. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I'm 20 and I'm going bald. FML
Today, as a 17-year-old, after having gone to the doctor to about some unusual hair loss, it turns out I simply have crappy genetics, and should expect to be fully bald within a year. FML
Today, I noticed several grey streaks in my hair while putting it in its usual combover. I'm only 18 years-old, and my hair was once one of my greatest sources of pride. FML
Today, my son gave me a bottle of shampoo for my birthday. I'm as bald as a coot. FML
Today, a co-worker asked me if I had a comb he could borrow. I'm bald. FML
Today, I'm a 15 year old boy who is bald. Why am I bald? My little brother thought it would be funny to put glue in my hair gel. FML
Today, while looking through a stack of possible pictures for Facebook, I found one I really liked, until I noticed that I have recently developed a bald patch. Problem? I am a 22 year old woman. FML
Today, I started growing hair on my upper lip. I'm finally becoming a man! Too bad I'm a 17 year old girl. FML
Today, like most days, I awoke from a dream where my hair was long again. This time, it was in the way while I was trying to drink water from a fountain. I lost my hair from chemo; it's slowly growing back. FML
Today, at 21 years of age, my doctor confirmed that I am, indeed, going bald. It wouldn't be such a bad thing, even expected, if I wasn't a woman. FML

Mine started thinning when I was 15 but wasn't noticeable until I was about 19-20. I feel for you. But I started shaving my head at 23 and have never looked back. It’s cleaner, looks better, and is more comfortable. Combovers don’t fool anyone and make you look like a used car salesman or reality-star turned car salesman.

Bald heads are in for both males and females

I had the same problem, and trust me when I say this...you have not gotten away with it, and it's best to embrace it! I've been shaving my head since I was 17 (now 36) cos my hair went. It took 2 weeks before everyone was used to it, and I have saved thousands in haircare products, days in time I don't need to take in the morning/getting dressed up, and you will always be in fashion due to the constant stream of sex-symbol actors with a polished dome (Jason Statham, Terry Crewes, Bruce Willis, Patrick Stewart, Dwayne Johnson). Yes, it hurts, but having a ridiculous mop flopping around, or wearing a Perma-hat to hide it does not look good. Embrace your Solar-Panel-For-A-Sex-Machine, get some good moisturizer, discover it's really hard for anyone to age you, and never worry about going grey ever again!

save 3000$, go to Istanbul for 3days, enjoy some sightseeing, do your implants and go home. you will then have thé choice of enjoying your hair or shave lt. but at 17, at least give yourself the choice.

You poor thing! 🥺 you will get no hate, sarcasm or negativity from me. Just compassion... I hope you are okay, and other teens aren't being mean to you. chin up, lovely. I can't begin to imagine the anguish and discomfort with your predicament but please believe me when I say that your hair does not define who you are. ❤

Embraced it, shave your head. Buy wicked cool anime wigs or some shit. You sound unhappy, combover isn't doing anything for your happiness so find some way
