I am in a similar situation. I am a 17 year old senior too. I have had so many spots on my head that I have had to resort to a wig. I don't know for guys, but is there a wig or a topper you can buy? You can wear the topper or wear a hat. For me, my alopecia didn't get better and that is why I got a wig. You may develop bald spots in the future and you may not be able to lie about it anymore; getting a topper may also make school a lot more easier. When I got a wig, it made it much more easier for me in school. I didn't have to make up any more excuses or try to hide my spots. Also, don't feel insecure about your alopecia. Speaking as a girl, if someone likes you, they will see past your bald spots. It is nothing to feel ashamed of.
Since we are sort of talking about relationships in school, I have a question. Do guys mind if they are dating a girl with a wig? Is it still found attractive? Or is it a turn off?
Hope this helped!
So sorry you are going through this. I, too, went through it as a sophomore in high school, 30 years ago. It was devastating to say the least because I lost so much hair around the nape of my neck that you could literally see my neck through my hair. High school years, especially your senior year, are so exciting. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to stress out because that is what probably caused the AA to begin with.
There are many more options out there today. Have you tried any hair fiber fillers like Toppik? Have you also tried a dermatologist to see about steroid injections? The injection are painful and your insurance will most likely not cover it because it is considered "cosmetic". But for some people with AA, such as myself, it helped and jump started the growing process again. I wish you all the best and try and stay positive. I would also consider telling people what you have rather than dismiss it as a bad hair cut. It is more widespread and chances are some of your friends probably have heard of it or know of someone who does. Don't let it define who you really are....and enjoy your last year of high school!
