Just took the plunge after 10 years of living a lie

I just shaved my head after almost 5 years of concealers and then a hair piece. I feel so incredibly liberated. The problem is that I am a school teacher, and I know just how mean kids can be, having been a juvenile jerk when I was their age. I just have to realize that if they don't like it, its their problem not mine. I could not take living a lie anymore. Its funny b/c I spent 4 years in the army when I still had hair and used to shave it regularly. After the army I felt like I had to conceal my thinning hair. Well, enough is enough. I am embarking on a new life of being the real me.

Congratulations. And don't worry about the reactions of your students; I'm sure they'll all view it as a huge improvement.

Thanks, guys. I just uploaded a pic and I can't believe how much stubble there is already. I shaved it this morning. I guess its going to be something I need to do in the AM before work.

Looks good, the students are going to like it too. And the benefit for others is that the young men in your care will have a good example of how to treat mpb the smart way.
