So i guess me and captainforehead

[Exodus2011]

Are the only ones to experience SIGNIFICANT/NOTICEABLE (that excludes u dannyboy) in high school right?

Utterly ****ing hellish experience

Ive pretty much blocked it out and i find it hard to consciously remember when im awake

 

[Agahi]

I was bullied alot early on, before I got taller and filled out a bit. Not about baldness though, did you mean just that?

 

[Exodus2011]

Yea i meant just hair loss

 

[DannyBoyy]

It did start near then end off school but not to the point where people could see it...when i had my hair cut i could see something wasnt right but i couldnt put my finger on it...little did i know it was the start off a lovely friendship with male pattern baldness.

Don't sugarcoat male pattern baldness, there is nothing lovely about it.

 

[slipy]

i had uneven hair line in school. birth defect. one girl assumed i was balding.

yea, but i guess that doesn't count.

Did you get the frizzy texture all over the top? I've heard guys at college with that say they just have weird texture and I want to let them know what's in store for them and how to fix it, but it seems rude to just interject with that kind of a statement.

Cant really remember i just remember it started to go thin and it started receding which many years later turned into an island.

 

[jgray201]

i started receding noticeably at 16. Although it was always from my mates and i gave it back, i started getting stick for my hair loss at around this age, had to put up with it for the last two years of secondary school onwards (what you call high school across the pond).

 

[uncomfortable man]

I was noticeably balding heavy diffuse in college which is pretty much advanced High school. Same immature mentality. I remember giving a presentation in front of the class and hearing people snickering at me. And seeing the looks on their faces. I doubt any of them even listened to what I was saying. I was an embarrassing spectacle. I wound up dropping out of college because I couldn't take it anymore.

 

[Exodus2011]

Big difference cuz ur allowed to wear a hat in class in college

Also did u ever get a degree? Wats ur job now then

I failed out of college due to skippin class (paranoid about being a hat prisoner)

 

[CaptainForehead]

You should have shaved your head. Dont be a hat prisnoner.

Exodus, have you tried wearing lifts?

 

[Exodus2011]

Come on shaving ur head barely helps. Ive been doing that all this year anyways, at the end of this month ill post a pic asking about how i look with it (i feel somewhat bad about my forehead size and how i look with shaved head)

Ive gotten decent regrowth from rogaine and have been on propecia for about 3 months. Most likely ill get more regrowth from finasteride

I dont wear lifts, i just wear shoes that are 1.5 inch soles instead of the usual 1 inch sole shoes that most guys have

I will also purchase 1 inch gel inserts and just lie that its for podiatric issues (foot issues) haha

 

[slipy]

i haven't told this before but i was a sly bald guy once, for a short time when i was 14 or so.

i came up with brilliant idea to cut my own hair, just wanted to improve a little part and predictably winded up ruining it beyond repair.
i had no choice but to shave it, i didn't have clippers, so i asked my sister to cut it very short, then i shaved it with a razor.
i didn't want to attend school next week, but somehow i pulled myself together and did. tried wearing hat but of course i wasn't allowed during classes.
a sly bald guy at 14 isn't the most socially acceptable thing and once the hat was off some comments were made, but nothing to extreme, possibly thanks to the fact that there was another dude in my class who used to shave his head. he was expelled by the time tho. he was a bad guy. i didn't took the comments to the heart as i knew my predicament was temporary at the time.

 

[Exodus2011]

Haha wow wat were the comments?

 

[slipy]

some chick commented that i had cut my head with razor (unskillful shaving) and laughed.
one dude said that i should wax my head.
some laughed at the mere sight of me and stared.
English teacher told me i looked like a future thug but concluded that ''it will grow back thicker''. dumb ****.

 

[Exodus2011]

Yep sounds like a miniature version of my senior year

Its hell

 

[slipy]

i had forgotten about it. it was only relevant in the context of that one week.

at that time i thought it was horrible but i was oblivious, it was only prologue to the real hell.

 

[Islander]

I was lucky enough to finish highschool with amazing rockstar mane. I was voted "Best Hair" at the prom celebration. How ironic. Back than, I had no idea what male pattern baldness was and certanly never thought I will have to deal with it. I would rather accept that an alien ship will shoot flying cows at me than that.
