I started balding at 13 or 14 and by the time I was 16 i was a norwood 5. By the next year I was a Norwood 6 with a combover. I went on an overnight band trip and while I was sleeping, the other guys in my room took off my hat and cut off my combover. I had to give a solo on stage in front of a full auditorium the next day essentially with a Norwood 7.
Found out I have the most severe case of hairloss anyone here has seen. Here are some pics so you can all feel better about yourselves.

I've been on dates but never without a hat.
Thanks. Looks like you and I were in the same boat.

Holy sh*t, I was receding and diffusing then which f*****g sucked, but that puts things into perspective. Sorry to hear.
Damn. I guess at least I'm the best at something. The best part is that I'm noticing the sides going lower still and losing hair from the bottom.

NW8 then...
I had a pretty rough high school experience. In addition to the hairloss, my military dad (full head of hair)picked out my clothes for me. It was button ups with a tie and slacks, no boxers allowed so I wouldn't sag. Shirt always tucked into my tighty whities so it wouldn't come untucked. Ended up getting a lot of teasing and wedgies in school.

Don't submit them too soon. Apparently I'm going for the record. I might be a Norwood 9 in a year.

I have panic attacks because I definitely think there's something wrong with my health for being Norwood 6 by 21. I'm just too lazy and depressed and poor (((American healthcare))) to go to the doctor and get a full check up

I'm the same way. I don't want to look like gollum. What I do is a compromise of shaving with a 1/8 inch guard attachment. It leaves a little bit of hair but it's extremely short

How tall are you op? I am also 5'6 and as you can see in my pictures I am skinny.

possibly, but perhaps your follicles just have such a pronounced genetic sensitivity to androgens. some people can blast grams of gear and not lose a single strand... it's laughable how unfair life is sometimes
American "health"care indeed. wagecucking over in the US must be a waking nightmare. my condolences srs, can barely stand it here

I do believe sometimes God makes up for your loss in other ways. Another words, you have something else that would be considered a big advantage.

If you are super skinny & did want to bulk up, most underweight people could probably add 5 -10kg fairly rapidly without looking fat just by eating more. Thats why a lot of skinny people claim to struggle to build muscle at the outset because they are trying build it ontop of a body that is already borderline emaciated.

Few questions regarding your recent posts...
Was your dad completely unaware of the bullying or did he not care?
How bad did the bullying get? The band story sounds horrible.
Do you have any chance with women at all?
Why did you take the combover route?
Who do you think you got your hair loss from? Do you have relatives who had it just as bad?

I realized that was not a good thing to say so I changed it. This is what I really meant to say.

This question crosses my mind a lot as well. Where are these people parents when they start balding at early age? I know there isn't much that can be done, but I couldn't see my child going past nw3 at 16 without doing anything.
