Hello and welcome!
I am so sorry about the kids at school. It can be so hard for children to have alopecia. There are a couple of things you can do. First, go to the National Alopecia Areata website, www.naaf.org. They offer a "school pack" that includes a video that teachers can play for students that will educate them on alopecia. When kids understand what alopecia is, they will usually stop being mean. Second,if you are in the Portland area there is a support group here (also one in Lake Oswego) that meets once a month. There are some other young girls who come and a high school boy organizes it. Third, you might want to take a look at my book which has a chapter on helping kids to deal with the teasing and cruelty (you can find out more about that on my page). In the meantime, I am here for support. I've had AU for about 25 years.
Blessings, Leslie Ann
