Hi Camille Thanks for adding us as friends it is really nice to meet others who know what it is that you and your family are going thru. I am Nicoles Mum she developed alopecia when she was 8 and is now bald. We are really blessed as Nicole has coped with her AA extremely well, that isn't to say that there haven't been times when she has had difficult situations at school because she has but she knows that she has the support of her family and close friends. Nicole doesn't really talk about her alopecia alot she is excited at themoment as she has some eyebrows coming back.........but she is too busy living life lol. I will ask her to message you and say hi. As for the eyebrows we get them from headcovers in the States. Nicole has the silicone ones, at the moment she is using tattoos and she also draws them on with an eyebrow pencil which could be an option for you if you still have some.

Take care hun and be strong, knowing that you are a beautiful wonderful person who has so much to offer those around you. If there is anything else you would like to know please don't hesitate to ask.
Take care
Sharon

Camille,
I have a 10 year old son that has had alopecia for 3 years. He has a hard time dealing with not having any hair, eyebrows, eye lashes. He is completely bald. I can only imagine how hard it is for you and my son, Terry. As your age, it is hard to know that the character of a person is on the inside. You can have hair and be beautiful, but if your heart is not loving and caring, you are empty. And you can be bald and have the biggest heart in the world and have a full life. I pray as you grow up, you have friends that care more about the inside than the outside and teach you the whole person is more important than your appearance. If there is every anything I can do, please let me know.

Hi Camille,
My daughter Maygan is 10. She started losing her hair just a month ago and now she has nothing. Maygan being 10 is learning how to deal with hormone changes and than this happened. She cried ,she got mad, she was just all confused. It wasn't until she talked to her subistude teacher that she turned her attitude around. I also think that she surronded herself with great support. Her homeroom teacher asked her if it was ok to tell her classmates what was going on. So she did.Her peers were right there for her supporting her all the way. But the teachers at her school came to her and asked her to make a power point on Alopecia and wanted her to teach the school about being different! And to my surprise she did it. The whole school got to gether and had a hat day for her and they all brought in a dollar. There was 370 students in her school they raise over 1000.00 for Maygan to buy a wig!
The whole community has been great.
Maybe one day you might want to talk with Maygan. And don't forget that bald is beautiful and stay true to yourself!
sincerely,
Pamela

My nine year old Jessica started with a very small spot almost 3 years ago. Nothing happened to it for about a year then very slowly over the last 2 years she has lost all but a few spots on her head. Her legs and arms are bare and she has 1 eyebrow. Still has her long eyelashes however. This alopecia is weird stuff but we just count our many blessings. Jessica is healthy and active. Everyone knows about her alopecia because she tells them. She doesn't like wigs and wears mostly hats. Tell Maygan she's not alone and if she'd like a pen pal Jessica would be happy to write her a letter. It's good for these special kids to know they are not alone. KIM
