well my names alexandra but everyone calls me lexi so i just go by that but i lost my hair when i was 2 years old and well it grew back then i would just lose it in patches but in 5th grade i finally got a big patch. then when i was heading in to 7th grade i had to shave my head cuz i knew people would be cruel bout how i lookd and at the time i did have a boyfriend who i didnt want him to be made fun of for dating a girl like me so i bought my first wig and it was for me and him but then around march he brokeup with me and went to another girl which i still think it was only cuz she had hair and it hurt me really bad that he would do that but he moved away and they ended up breakingup and were kinda friends i guess u can say but that was the dating now im scared hat when i get in 8th grade wat people will say becuz i dont have eyebrows or eyelashes and it drives me crazy that people make fun of me for it at school so i basically live in my room now becuz i dont think im that pretty or in fact im not at all but im still me nothing really change the only thing that did was my hair thats it and people dont relieve that except my family and bestfriend who has been there for me from the start. i love all of them for that. my family on my moms side have already dealt with the alopecia once becuz my mom has it as well to so we look like twins and i feel happy that i have her to help me threw thick and thin so i love her for that but my real dad has never been there once for me in my life cuz him and my mom split when i was about 5 months so ive never seen him in my life and i dont think i want to becuz he was in and out of my moms and thats wat he wants to probably do to me and i am not having that so i have a step dad to replace my real dad who has been there for me since i was 2 years old and hes been there for my mom to and now i have a sis whos 8 and a bro whos 5 and they dont have alopecia so i feel lucky cuz in away alopecia is probably the best thing that has happened to me :)

Lexi, go have a fun day at the cosmetic counter in a fancy department store with your girlfriends! You can get appointments together, and have them totally make you up (for free) with age appropriate blush and all...then go pick out some wacky clothes at a thrift store. You and your pals may have so much fun you forget all about boys! And be sure to sing loudly in the car on the way home while one of your parents plays chauffer!

Y'know, Lexi, Tallgirl (a.k.a. White Rose Woman) is right. Take a break from the hair thing. Go and do something off the wall with your pals... have a laugh! And at least you CAN do the makeup thing. When I went to the store to try that, they threw me out.... (Booo!) :)

Lex, I totally understand the thing going on with your dad...although my situation was kind of different. My dad left my mom right after I was born. (he was more focused on his work than family) and then I got a stepdad....that was a complicated story though. He wasn't the ideal dad....
