How old are you?

[Full Head of Hair]

I was just curious how old most of us are. I also want to know how old you were when you started treating your hairloss.

I'm 23, and I went on treatments about 1 month ago

 

[MrBen]

I'm 20, started treatment about 2 months ago I think. Maybe it's 3.

20.75 (though I look "27"..methinks it's either the male pattern baldness or my arty scarf).

Started, er, let me think....two summers ago?! Basically 19.5 roughly.

I've moved onto Avodart just to make abso-fuckin'-lutely sure! It seems to be helping. The front, which has always been thinish, is hit a bit but the same happened with Propecia and things have overall been okay. I'm expecting at most a bit of thickening, and at worst it to very slowly thin out.

I'm 22 and I started treating my hair loss almost two months ago.

 

[Dpunkz]

I'm 17, Prolly the youngest in the forums, started my hair loss regimen about 2 1/2 weeks ago, so far, I'm feelin good...we'll just have to see how these next few months progress, i hope since i was smart and started on this soon, I will be rewarded in the long run.

[YoungAndThin]

Sadly, I'm only 20...

im 18.9. started thining when i was about 16. FUCKIN SUCKS. im never gonna have my own kids, just adopt, ive decided. i could never put another person through the sh*t my dad and mom have put me through. ive lost respect for them. is this normal???? i had "moderate" acne too which caused me to lock myself inside my bedroom and cuased depression. that may have been what triggered it. who know. i know something though - i do hate my parents for having which is quite sad coz they quite old now - 70 and 65. they were too old when they had me. of my 2 older brothers, (38 and 39 yrs of age) the older one has no fuckin hairloss AT ALL. just gorgeous jet black hair. he's not even gone grey!! the younger one started loosing it in his 30s and he's lost most of the front bit and started loosing it at the crown, but still has a good vertex.

 

[Trent]

don't say that man, when Hair multiplication comes out and is perfected, hairloss will be treated like getting braces.

 

[VWdude]

everysixseconds, your not going to have kids becuase your afraid your going to pass male pattern baldness down to them? Dude get off these forums NOW and see a fuken Psychiatrist ASAP!!!

You hate your parents because they had you and you inherited male pattern baldness from them? Would you rather not have been born? Is it their fault you fuken dumbass idiot. You are one weak individual and reading your post just got me really pissed off. Your lucky they had you and gave you life. You make me sick. Some parent hate and abuse their children and sexually abuse their children and you sitting here saying you hate your parents becuase of you've got male pattern baldness?

Get on Propecia, minoxidil, nizoral, and shut up and dont post your stupid ignorant comments on here. We dont need to hear about that stupid immature sh*t here. You should be ashamed of your self man.

Besides the point there will be a cure or some permanent treatment out in 10 years MAX so dont worry about your kids inheriring male pattern baldness from you. You probabbly wont even have kids yet when something does come out.

But seriously kid you need to see a psychiatrist becuase you've got issues.Your lucky your healthy and weren't born with a disease or something. Your lucky you've got a roof over your head and your not starving like those poor kids in Samalia so dont ever say you hate your parents for something stupid like inheriting male pattern baldness from them. You think they chose for you to have male pattern baldness?

Someone should kick this idiot off this forum. He's a disgrace. You should be helping out your parents in their old age like they took care of you when you were a baby. Not saying you hate them.

There always has to be some wierdo floatin around on these forums :wink:

AMEN

 

[Fallout Boy]

19 years.... started finasteride 7 months ago

 

[YoungAndThin]

stax was a little harsh but he's right.

Come on man, it's not like your parents had you with the intention of passing down male pattern baldness to you. Most if not all parents if given the choice, wouldn't want their child to go bald at a young age.

You got to grow up a little.

male pattern baldness is something that is very hard to go through, especially at such a young age. We all know that. But blaming your parents is stupid and won't help the situation.

 

[Goingat20]

LOL! LOLOLOL!

sorry, but i find that quite amusing! sorry, i know,i shouldnt laugh. ok. be serious.

okay.


well, you see i hate them (well my dad mostly - not my mum) not just for male pattern baldness and acne, but the picture is a lot bigger than that. trust me, if you were in my shoes you wouldnt exactly be the happiest child (with male pattern baldness!) in the world either.
i hate my dad cos he always puts me down, and he's a very strict guy (used to hit me when i was a kid fr the slightest wrong) and he swears at me and jumps on every opportunity to make me feel more shitty - generally we have a very crap relationship - it saddens him when he sees me - i can see it in his eyes. and plus they both blame ME for causing my own hairloss by sayin i used to apply gels and wax on my hair when the told me not too (they're very old school man). THEY BLAME ME FOR THE sh*t THEY PUTTING ME THROUGH. THEY SAY CAUSE MY OWN ACNE BY DRINKING COKE AND EATING BURGERS!! LOL! i do not. im generally a very healthy person if you take away the acne and male pattern baldness. if only they admitted it was their genes that are the cause of my problems, and understood that all the dimensions in which this affects me (relationships etc.). i dont want them to apologetic. just understand. my dad is so arrogant, he wont even entertain the idea thatit was his genes.

for the past 8 years since i was 11, right, ive had fuckin god-awful acne which really drove my confidence to the ground, now male pattern baldness is just takin it to sub-ground levels. and they offer me no support, they are so out of touch.

and hey, yes i am lucky i wasnt born in ethiopia with nothing to eat but grass. but its all f*****g relative at the end of the day. at least in ethiopia id have the will to survive, whereas here sometimes, a couple of years ago, i was contemplating suicide. what the f***!

yes, i do have serious psychological issues. and maybe i do have an immature views. but im fuckin 18. its my right.

anyway, its a new day tomorrow. be happy. im truly sorry if my post caused any offence. but its the truth.

byeeeeee!!
