    Guys...advice needed for a mommy of a 16 year old son.

    If you don't mind me asking, where are you now? You are still really young, does it really affect you? I had no idea until yesterday how devastating this is for "some" men. I think it is completely individual. Fingers crossed he won't care. I'm on the down low going forward. Love love...

    I hear you, I hear you, I hear you! That's why I'm struggling. As a mom, all we want is happiness for our children. It's innate. I want to set him up in life as best I can, and then he is on his own to make his own decisions as a adult. He is too young to make any decisions like this. I'm...

    Fred, Did you try Propecia/the generic at 18? I understand you have dealt with aggressive male pattern baldness. That is what is on both sides of my son's family as well. Both grandfathers bald, like totally bald, by early 20's. My H's father's brother was even earlier. Ironically, both brothers handled...

    Ok. I hear what you are saying load and clear. Your pain resonates in your message. I think we ALL have our personal struggles and demons, but I can assure you that there are many men who really don't care that much. Women DEFINITELY don't care about a guy's hair. They just don't. It's...

    No, I don't want to be the mom of a son MISERABLE because of his hair loss like many of the guys are on HERE! I already can can see the confidence my son exudes regarding this topic. I'm GLAD he doesn't care and I hope it stays that way. At Starbucks today, I brought up the topic just to...

    How about offering each other support? Women suffer from hair loss too and it's devastating. For men, at least it's acceptable. I've never, seriously NEVER, met a girl who EVER said she wouldn't date a guy because he was balding, receding, etc. EVER in my 44 years! And I have tons of friend...

    Guys...advice needed for a mommy of a 16 year old son.

    Are you serious?! Have you read my messages?! ALL I'm trying to do, since he's ONLY 16, is put this off until he is old enough to make the decision for himself. Then, according to the experts, he'll still have a good amount of hair if he chooses to keep with treatment. Instead of me doing...

    Thank you! I absolutely discussed it with him and made it VERY clear that many guys don't care and if he's one of them when he matures....GOD BLESS HIM! Confidence is WAY more attractive than a full head of hair! - - - Updated - - - Thank you for your kindness. I agree, it's kind of sad to...

    Guys...advice needed for a mommy of a 16 year old son.

    Thank you! I would never make the decision to put him on propecia. That is his and only his decision and I will do whatever I can to support him in making it. I think, and may get criticized, 18 is still too young for propecia. My son is a rower, height and build rule his sport, I would like...

    Guys...advice needed for a mommy of a 16 year old son.

    Hey guy! please don't be rude to me. My own father struggled accepting his baldness much of his life. I could have cared less, but it hurts to see a guy struggle over their hair. My H's dad was even worse. Hairpieces and all. It's NOT about ME. This is about helping starve off the issue...

    Guys...advice needed for a mommy of a 16 year old son.

    Hi...I need your help guys. I noticed within the past 6 months my 16 yr. old is showing signs of recession and slight thinning on top. Crown area completely full. Family history...both grandfathers lost hair early. One by senior year of high school and my dad was early 20's. My husband has...
