My hair has been thinning at the front, it's noticeable. my hair *seems* to be growing back slowly, or at least the hair fall has drastically reduced since I've been taking Minoxdil and finasteride, and I can't wait for it grow back.. I am NOWHERE CLOSE to being bald.... I'm actually far from it...

BUT

People around me have been really, really mean to me, it's really affecting my confidence, big time,

I just found out from a friend of mine that all the other girls in the class call me 'uncle' and that they make fun of me for looking older than them, If that's not bad enough... well my own friend goes on to say 'Is that really your age 22? are you really as old as we are, don't lie?'

I'm 22 years old, I am 22 years old I repeat. What can I say? I'm heartbroken, I am shattered. I called my mother.... and I CRIED.... my mom said I shouldn't give a damn, and that they're so shallow, that they can't look past your hair loss.

I've never judged anyone in my life, ever. I've always been nice to people, I like people for what they are, not how they look...

and this is what I get in return..... I feel AWFUL. I feel TERRIBLE.
