finally i've found a site where i can know people with my same problem,i'm so happy(sorry if i miss a few words^^;).
now i can tell my experience to someone who can undestand me.
i'm living with alopecia areata for about three years.

When my mother noticed the hair fall on a part of the head i didn't care much about it.I realized the problem when i had to cut off all the hair because the remaining ones were few and all tangled.

I've spend that summer with a foulard on my head and when the school was about to start my parents decided to buy me a wig. i'm very shy and i hate attract attention, so i was afraid that someone might ask me about my "new hairstyle".

For the sake of this alopecia i became even more introverted and i find it harder to make me friends because my self-esteem has fallen.
i'm also afraid that if i ever have a relationship whit a boy, i would be afraid to tell him the "true me".

This disease has clearly made my life more difficult,like anyone who has alopecia(i presume)
i wanted to ask if there is someone else with my age(14) who has experienced such a situation^^

Embrace your wig and wear it proud.  Most people will not know it is a wig and your self esteem will build because of it.

If the boy does not like you with our without hair, find an new boy.  If he truly likes/loves you, hair does not matter.

Good luck this school year.
