    Hair loss.
    Two years ago, I started having a hair loss problem. I didn't think too much about my appearance at that time because I had just started high school. Though some guys noticed I had bald spots and made fun of me and asked if I was dying. Every time I had class with them they would ask if I had cancer. I tried to take it as a joke but to be honest it really hurt. I just found out about a month ago that I had started losing my hair again. I really didn't want anybody to find out about my bald spots, especially not my friends. I'm afraid that they'll be like the guys from two years ago and make fun of me for losing hair.

    Adults keep asking me if I'm stressed because that's usually what causes hair loss. I don't have the courage to tell any of them the truth because, to be honest, I know fairly well that they can't help me at all. They'll probably just nag me and tell me things I already know. It's always been like that. I've never told anybody anything on my mind because I know that they'll just either show sympathy for me or just give me stupid advice that I would never do.

    I've had a cutting problem before. Two years ago during the time I had hair loss I was very depressed. I always had arguments with my family even though I was young. I'm a really emotional person and I admit that. I had a lot of problems with friends and family and I didn't see a reason to live anymore.
    I don't have a cutting problem anymore, nor do I think about suiciding now. But I don't see a reason to live right now. I cry everyday in my room and my parents don't even know I'm this upset about my life. They don't even know that my hair loss is a bigger problem to me than it seems. Even if I told them I don't see how they could help me, it's not like they could make my hair grow back out. Sometimes at night I wake up suddenly crying for no reason and it's starting to scare me.

    No, they will probably tell you to go to the doctor because they care.

    GO TO THE DOCTOR. It could be stress, or early male pattern baldness, or it could be another illness. You need to go to the doctor and find out what is up so that you can get it fixed.

    Most hair loss is genetic, but patchy hair loss usually is not. Stress rarely causes hair loss. ChihuahuaMomma's suggestion is a good one.
