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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I'm 20 and I'm going bald. FML
Today, I looked at pictures of myself from 20 years ago when I was a teenager and realized I have only about a quarter of my hair left. I'm a woman. FML
Today, someone told me I have male pattern baldness; they thought so because I apparently have a "receding hairline." It's always been this way, I checked my pictures from the time I shaved my head when I was 16. 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, I'm the only one in my family who doesn't need glasses and who isn't lactose intolerant. However, I'm the only one in my family rapidly balding at the age of 25. Even my grandparents on both sides have full heads of hair. FML
Today, I had to accept the fact that I'm going bald, after I noticed the hair on my chest is longer than the hair on my head. FML
Today, I have alopecia areata and I constantly have reappearing bald spots all over my head. I cannot properly grow a beard, and one of my eyes has no eyelashes. However, my nose hair seems to grow at the rate of an old man on biotin. 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least you'll have a great career in magic eraser advertising. Sorry for your loss Mr. Clean.

Now you need to hit the gym and become The Rock. Scrawny bald guys look like racists. Skinheads really ****** it up for you.

Female here. (One that dated a bald guy in early college). Just shave it all off when it gets to that point and own it. Keep it clean shaven. Channel every ounce of confidence you've got. Let it be an asset. Trust me. There will be chicks that find it hot. Idk about in HS, but college for sure. I've got several young adult bald/shaven friends and they're definitely ladies men! Pretty much anyone else isn't going to notice/care (except maybe some insecure HS bully). Confidence is the key!!

You're not alone; my father got his first toupee at the ripe old age of 15.

I went to middle school with a guy who was going gray. And it wasn't just really blonde, getting lighter- it was jet black with silver. I think that was when I realized how hot silver haired guys are....

Either plan to shell out for hair plugs or just start shaving your head and rocking the bald look. Just don't forget to put sunscreen on your head or you'll just end up looking like a tomato. Put on some muscle if you're on the scrawny side, too, cause bald + ripped is a fairly good lady magnet.

Own the look. Hair doesn't make the man, it how he carries himself.

Youu don't have to be ripped for the bald look to work. Check out Patrick Stewart. A lot of women still think he is attractive. He's 76. His wife is 39 this year.

The only solution is to shave your head and get ripped

Shave it. If you keep it, you'll look like you're trying to hold onto the past. If you let it all go in one fell swoop it means you're taking charge. Chicks like a guy that takes charge of shit like that.

Seriously we're ALL assuming this is a man. It happens to women too! I had a friend in her early 20's who's head looked like she had gotten shit faced and tried to give herself a REALLY short haircut. Although there are different types alopecia totalis, is sudden permanent loss of all hair up there.

The advice stands for a woman, too- cut it all off right away, because "balding" is infinitely worse than "bald" or "clean shaven."
