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.
