Don't forget you are not alone. Search "baby let your hair hang down". Georgia is an amazing woman. They are almost ready to release the film. They just need some more money to finish the distribution deals. If you want to help with the film please think of giving just a few bucks. One less latte from a lot of people and the film is in wide release. Alopecia need not be hidden and shameful. Georgia helps people (especially kids) deal with the disease and understand the problems.
hi i have alopecia areata and my life is tragic at school because everyone makes fun of me because i am blad. i have had alopecia areata since i was 3. the last time i have had long hair was when i was in kindergarten. i am glad i have alopecia areata because you are speacial. maddi is a lucky girl and so am i. we are special people and i feel her pain.
Unfortunately I have to disagree with Anna... doctors and scientists are NOT working hard to find a cure.... This disease is not life threatinening, therefore not enough money is spent on finding a cure. I have had Alopecia for almost 25 years now and still no progress has been made in finding a cure.
I have the same type of Alopecia. I was diagnosed with Alopecia at 4 and my mama cried for me. I didn't know what was wrong until I went to 4-k. I made one friend as a little girl, doctor's said she would never live to 6th grade and she's alive and strong, my friend, Nikita. I'm 11 now and I KNOW what it feels like to be the same spot. I've been like this for 7 years, going on 8.
wow, I thought I was alone, back 14 yrs ago when I lost my first patch. I now have universalis and worry about my tendons and stuff, connective tissue can be attacked by the immune system too? Anyone with alopecia can message me...
I am very proud of youu for standing up for yourself. If i had this diease i would never be able to do something like thiss. You are one strong girl :]]
why are you asking for people to "tolerate you" so what, you've got no hair, thats okay. people who dress like slobs,.. now thats something we have to try and tolerate. your gorgous hun, try not to let it bug you. i know what it's like.
I think your beautiful just the way you are. Please don't ask people to tolerate you. There is nothing about you that needs to be tolerated. People tolerate a bad smell or long walk with a sore toe, you are neither one of those!! Heather & Jeff Clark(Moose's Parents)
good job anna! i loved that speech me and my friends were so proud watching you at school syaing that speech in front of everyone!! Good job! stay strong!
every one who has this remember not to lose hope in your hair growing back and dont be ashamed of it because that would mean you are ashamed of your self and even if you have it you can still have fun (i am living proof)
I'll have to agree. My trainer has me taking a product called juice plus along with learning to breathe properly through yoga and meditate. I haven't had hair for 20 years and I've never once shaved my head-I know have more hair growing then ever before. Now I might have to shave it as I have become known as The Bald Chick :-) Keep Shining!
Hello My Bald Sister! Great job...it really takes something to get up there in front of the whole school! What you are doing is so important! When we educate people we take out the fear which often leads to bullying! Thanks for being a shining star!
Beautiful, bald, courageous Anna! Great job! Thank you for being so gutsy. Educating others about our alopecia areata is not always easy but is so important, for them and for us. ~Sherry Wade Schaefer
I go to your school and that is very brave.

There's more to a person than their hair. Just be yourself and don't worry what others think.
