Alopecia on Tyra Banks Show

[AnimeGuitarist21]

I know the pain of going bald in highschool. I'm 17 now and it started for me when I was 15, I know how it is being bullied everyday, seeing school as a living hell. What the bullies dont realize is that everybody will go bald, women too, but usually much later than men. Those people who bully you should just fuck off since they are too shallow to realize everybody is beautiful.

For all of you people who have alopecia out there.U ARE NOT AN OUTCAST!U ARE NOT A WEIRDO! U ARE UNIQUE EVEN IF U DONT FEEL IT! U ARE SPECIAL

[shallowrider99]

[sergigahr]

[dominoeangel]

If you "put out" cause you won't get a relationship? Is it a relationship?

- funny...we think we need "experience"...yet we lose those boys/girls anyway.. that abusive ideas of a modern teen sex, do u really want it?

[ItsLikeATwinkie]

...you can get alopecia because of stress? i have an anxiety disorder and i lose hair sometimes but only a few chunks....can i get alopecia??

[rawrxitsxashley1]

@ItsLikeATwinkie You can lose your hair yes, but its rare to get alopecia. I just developed my alopecia when i was 3 and ive had it ever since. Highschool is really hard with it. I dont wear wigs.

[dominoeangel]

@ItsLikeATwinkie

lose your hair?

You can lose hair cause of stress...but that kind grows back ;) No worries hun , that's a different kind :D

i was in 3rd grade and i was just brushing my hair and i found a bald spot it was sooo horriblei was bullied all through 4th grade and fifth grade there was so many rumours i had cancer and stuff like that but now i wear a wig and its much better im still worried no one will like me like no boy or no real friends

[ondith89]

@thatonegirl8028 i have also an alopecia, so not to be worry about that coz ur not alone...

[smoothponz]

i tend not to wear wigs because if youve been around kids through school, etc. its pretty embarassing, besides, i tend to like allopecia areata for the positive reasons only. no brushing hair shampoo and it makes you a new person

[ElizabethJinson7]

I have been losing hair since I was 12, I'm now 25 years old. I went to many doctors and they all explained it away by saying it was stress. Yesterday I went to a prestigious hospital in Westchester, to meet with an Endocrinologist. It was confirmed that I have Androgenetic Alopecia and Polycystic ovaries as well. Losing hair when you are a woman is extremely hard. I completely understand this girl's pain. I hope that God answers her most sincere prayers. As I know He will also answer mine.

[smoothponz]

i am anthony

[smoothponz]

i was born with allopecia universalis, and was affected at age 2 i was teased at preschool, but when i transferred schools , everybody tended to get used to it around my school, 8th grade now, i've gotten used to it and never wore wigs, only a hat at occassions and im only worried if i might ever become blonde again, now i see a video when people are helping others with the rare hair disorder like me.

[rawrxitsxashley1]

@smoothponz Omg, we have been through the same thing! (: im in 9th grade and i got alopecia universalis when i was3 i dont wear wigs either

[smoothponz]

@rawrxitsxashley1 im only 8th i can set myself up as an example for others to kinda see that being differentaint that bad and opens a door of opportunities

[marter2006]

I think Britney is soo adorable and she deserves the very best that life has to offer her, I know that things are turning around for her....at least I hope : )

[NadiaChannel]

I just wish the people in this world wouldn't be so judgemental , everyone fails to see what really makes a person beautiful and thats who they are , not what they look like. Their are some horrible nasty people out there , the people who bullied her are ugly and thats because of who they are. Britney is beautiful.

[IMxYOURxDADDY]

figures, had to be black guys teasing her

[TheRoyaldiamond]

@IMxYOURxDADDY figures?

[homicidecozmetics]

this is how i felt going to school.. i just recently transfered to another school because of the harassment. i really do feel how she is feeling..

[mariosmaria1]

she is so good!!! tyra is so good person!!

[TheGuitarguy101]

i have had alopecia since i was four. in third grade i got beat up every day. i get made fun of every day. and in elementary school they would hide my clothes around the school and even my teachers would make fun off me and my sister and her friends and people would stare at me in public and in 5th grade i snapped and punched a kid in the face. he broke his nose and the glass from his glasses broke and cut his face and his eyeball and now he is blind in that eye

[JaleelJohanson62]

I had a lot of groveling to do at my 20 year reunion.. It's amazing what jackasses some of us could be in highschool... This girl's aces in my book!

[boyish1985]

Britney

I love you. This is not the end of our life. lets fight it and not care about it.

kamal

[JohnnyMidnight1]

problem is she goes to a nigger school, niggers ALWAYS give people shit

[superc]

@JohnnyMidnight1 no i believe it's called karma on your part.

[dancebaby808]

she's actually prettier without hair.

[sthprkbutterslovers]

@dancebaby808 i agree

[imyoursuperior2]

@dancebaby808 you have problems.

[copperhead88]

@dancebaby808 nah

[linda2894]

she's a nice girl^^I feel so sad for her.

[sahanoel]

aww that girl is so pretty and adorable with or without hair

i can tell she has a good heart

[S0incredible]

high school is either the best times of your life. or your worst

[rocaho001]

@S0incredible worst for me. motherfucka.

[Jillian1950]

@S0incredible Or both :D

[LuciaLaMorenita]

also i really hope after the show britney got the respect she deserved at school its just kinda sad that it had to go as far as to bring tyra in for people to actually realise

[LuciaLaMorenita]

thats so sad i suffer from the occational but not noticable hair loss when im stressed which triggered when i was going through problems at school altough it isnt alopesha i can still relate to this girl

[llilpipen12]

im a male and i were a do-rag to school and i fear the same thing. that some kid will snatch it off.

[lexaneli]

high school kids can be so mean I would never want to relive those days but I am glad what trya did and said what she said

[wetaworks007]
