It's unanimous! give it a shot and see how you like it.
You can also buzz it down close with a #1 guard to see how you like the look.
I am betting you will like it, and probably bring it down to a 0 shortly thereafter.
Shaving it from there is very easy, just make sure to use a good gel, and I recommend a Mach III for your first shave; very easy and comfortable to use.
I also agree with Tyler's second point as well: nothing is going to make your hair thicker.
Confidence will come when you take control.
A very short buzz or a shaved head are your best options. Most people get the short buzz first and live with that for a while. It is a good look. But remember if you opt for a head shave, it only takes a few days for the hair to grow back to the short buzzed look. Despite how you may feel you are not making a life-time, no turning back decision whatever way you go. So satisfy your curiosity.
There are a lot of youngins around in your situation including me. The best way to go is shaving the whole thing off. I know you'll like it
Close buzz or shave -- give it a go. The fact you're here shows you're interested in doing it. You'll never know until you try.
Due to your hair loss there's only one solution: shave it all off and enjoy a bald head.
Take the plunge; you won't regret it.

Welcome! and Ditto to all of the above
As all the other guys have said - DO IT! You will never look back. That first stroke of the blade is incredibly sensual - bothunnerving and a feeling of freedom.
DO IT NOW!
Give it a shot. If you hate it your hair will grow back but I don't think you'll hate it.
