Welcome to the bald brotherhood Andy. I disagree about you not being photogenic. Looking forward to more of your posts.

Welcome to SBG ! Awesome website ! Did you design it ? InDesign is cool but am I the only one still using QuarkXPress ?

Thanks guys.
I did design that website, it's my online portfolio of design work. I did not use indesign though, I went through a company called Cargo Collective and just did it all within the CSS and HTML. I'm not very familiar with QuarksXpress to be honest

Welcome, Andy!
I lost my hair when I was 18 (I'm 20 now), so I can def relate to your story.
I've always hidden my hairloss though, first with a buzz-cut, and then a close-shave.
You should not be worried about being ridiculed by your peers.
I have never had anyone mock me because I was balding, because no one knew I was balding.
People only knew if I directly said something like "Hey, the reason I'm shaving.. is actually because I lost my hair!"
When you are that young people don't expect that you shave because of MPB.
It's really rare to see guys 17-20 that have lost so much hair, that they need to shave it all off.
So frankly, people generally will think to themselves "That's his stye, and he does it because he thinks it looks good"!
I know a guy who has been bald ever since I got to know him. He is like 24years old.
He is one of the coolest and most popular guys I know. He's in shape, got great fashion-sense, and is very social.
I didn't know he had lost his hair, until I started losing mine. Then I spoke with him, and he said he lost his hair when he was 14!!!! So yeah, people generally don't think about you "balding" if you embrace it by shaving it all off. I sure didn't in the past -
