Hi Melani, I am also glad to find a friend. I have 3 children, 2 boys and a girl. But Amy is the only one of the 3 with alopecia. She is my youngest. She lost her hair when sh was 9, she is 14 now. My Dad and brother also have AA. I just never thought of it as something that could happen to a girl. At first things were hard especially at school, but she found her true friends stood up for her. We live in a rural area , so a lot of kids are used to her this way, she tried a wig but it was to distracting for the other girls who could not keep their hands off her hair. I can't lie to you and say its been all peaches and cream there have been some bad days, I think it has made her a stronger person. And i think she is beautiful any way she looks, and I am sure you will find that no matter if your daughter has hair or not you will still find her beautiful. I wish you the best of luck and god bless you and your daughter. Just remember to remind her that she is not her hair.
