if you scared shitless by the prospect of losing your hair it means you have some issues you need to deal with, and you will be happier.

sorry to spout my buddhism crap but that's really the truth

sleeping incorrectly can cause stress, and since you are so young, you may have a hard time identifying this. im not saying this is what is causing it, but even so, just for your general help, aim for 8.5 hours of sleep a day.

I'm 16; I don't want to be ostracized. I'm not bursting with confidence, is it wrong to not want to draw stares. I don't talk that much, my appearance in many cases is my first and sometimes only impression I make on strangers. Of course I have problems outside of losing my hair; that's why I'm desperate to not have them compounded. You're right, but I can't.

Are you stressed out hugely? If so, there's a chance that's it. If that is it, you need to get rid of the stress (obviously), and then it will stop.

over masturbation will cause hair loss.

your testosterone gets coverted into DHT

* Reduce the intake of Hormone-polluted beef and dairy products. Red meat traps too much hormone-polluted blood. Instead bring more seafood and poultry into your diet. A vegetarian lifestyle has been adopted by many because of this fact.

* Eat more seeds, nuts, and soybeans, which contain L-arginine (the natural growth-hormone agents) and Isoflavones (anti-cancer and liver function enhancement), to help prostate swelling.

* Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits for more anti-cancerous hormones and anti-oxidants/vitamins/minerals. You can even try taking a multi-vitamin/mineral to get the antioxidant group into your dietary habits. Notable vitamins are C, E, A, and notable herbs that promote blood circulation are ginseng, ginko biloba and yohimbe.

* Participate in more outdoor activities to exercise more, improve your heart function, blood-flow and to regulate testosterone levels of the body, rather than burn it into DHT. Try jogging or even taking a brisk walk. Any kind of physical activity is much better for your body than sitting around in front of a TV, especially if you don’t normally move around much.

Stress is also a source of hair loss and the more you stress about losing hair, the more hair you will lose. Try to eliminate sources of stress in your life. Cut back on the "Rosey palm" and other extraneous bedroom activity or at least make sure to reduce your frequency so your body will be able to replenish itself of the lost nutrients and hormones.

Well I'm a bit older than you but I've noticed my hairline seems to be going back a bit on the sides and it unnerved me.

I'm just keeping a positive attitude and assuming it isn't going to do much more for a long time XD

Is your scalp excessively dry (does it flake)? Or oily? Does any part of your face flake (like your eyebrows/cheeks)?

I've started to lose hair dramatically around 8 months ago due to "Seborrheic Dermatitis" (I went to a dermatologist and got diagnosed, and you should too)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seborrheic_dermatitis
Although I have a really mild case of it (itches and sometimes burns every now and then, and my scalp is very sensitive) I still have crazy amounts of hair loss. Like, everytime I take a shower hand-fulls come out. Luckily I had a huge mop of hair beforehand, but now, just like you stated, my hair is extremely thin on top. I find that when they do fall out, my hair follicles are almost non-existant.

Anyways, I got some prescription shampoos etc. My scalp rarely ever flares up anymore, but my hairloss hasn't stopped one bit yet.

Oh, I'm 19 btw.

If it bothers you that much, either go with the bald look, really short (crew cut or something) or just wear a hat. The worst thing is when men go for the comb-over to try to hide the fact that they have like no hair and truthfully, it's somewhat pathetic.
