You have androgenetic alopecia at the age of 17?! If minoxidil works, you should see a cessation of hairloss after 2-3 months. In your case, it apparently doesn't work. At this moment, the logical step is to increase the dosage (from 5% to 10%) or adding finasteride. Or both. Check your body hormones (testosterone, SHBG, free testosterone, DHT)!
The problem is that if you now stopped minoxidil and jumped on finasteride, you could experience a loss of minoxidil-dependent hair. I don't think that after 5 months, it would be too serious, but I must mention it, because you apparently aren't in the best mental state.
You're suppose to use minoxidil twice a day, might be worth trying it twice a day first.
Hate to say it man...but in your shoes I would be buying some finasteride right away. I started(balding) about as early as you, and if I knew about finasteride i'd have been on it asap. It is your decision though, just saying what i'd do.
Go to a Doctor, try for a prescription. If he/she refuses, there are other ways. I use in house pharmacy.net, since my Doctor wont prescribe it for me.

i cant use it twice a day dude! i have school in the day and my hair would be ruined. I use 2ml at night cause i have to cover my whole scalp.
Online finasteride is like 23 dollars for a 3 month supply. If you can get a script for proscar in the US the 3 month supply would be like $5. Inhousepharmacy.net for the $23 online(its called FINCAR on there).
You may also want to look into toppik, or some other concealer. Should be good for you with your strong hairline.
Again though, you are very unlikely to get finasteride sides, especially if you try to just forget about the possibility. I think most people who get them its all in their minds, just like
stress will make getting erections more difficult.
I wont recommend that you disobey your parents. So if they say no, then yes wait until your 18 then immediately start finasteride.
I dont know if diffuse looks better shaved down, sorry about that.
You can take a lower dose, but I dont think it will matter, the great majority of people will not get side effects.
finasteride likely will not effect your body building. See the success story from peabody on this very website.
and will using 1ml a day twice a day be better than 2ml once a daym ( covering whole area)
