I have had many comments about my hair in the past so I have made a list of some of the things people have said about my hair.
o Have you cut your hair?
o Have you shaved the sides of your head?
o You have a Mohawk.
o Do you have cancer?
o What have you done with your hair?
o You have bald spots; did you know that?
o Doesn't it hurt when you pull your hair out?
o If you keep on pulling your hair out, you won't have any left.
o Why don't you just shave your whole head?
o You have a creepy addiction.
o Your condition isn't that bad.
o People lose their hair and they can't do anything about it, but you can; so why don't you just stop?
o It's your own fault.
Over the years I have grown to ignore some of the comments, however some feel like they've just slapped me in the face or stabbed me in the gut. I can get quite down after people tease my hair, especially if it's a teacher or one of my friends. I think my main problem is I don't know to react or respond, I just go silent or change the topic.
