I am the aunt of a teen with Alopecia Areata. Her name is Valerie. This page is for me and her. She is an awesome 13 year old. We are on a quest to learn more about other teens living with Alopecia. We are here to learn and make friends.

You and your niece might find it good to read some of the blogs and discussions on this site. Also joining the groups and reading comments and discussions in them are really good. I have joined Teenagers with Alopecia and Parents of Children with Alopecia to name a couple.
Bald girls do lunch has alot of info and links on it that you may find useful too.
If your niece joined and wrote or chatted to other teenagers with alopecia it would probably go along way to acceptance as well. Being able to talk to someone who is going through the same sort of issues as you are makes you feel you are not alone.
Hope this helps. My best to you and your niece. Keep in touch

Saw your comment on the Teenagers with Alopecia group page. Hope you get some responses. Also noticed that you started a group yourself - great idea :-) Way to go.
I want to say that I think you are a great aunt to Valerie. I bet she appreciates the support that you are giving her. She will make it ok with lots of love and support.
Regards
Susan
