First you have to make the commitment to yourself that you're going to stay bald for 30 days, no matter what. Under no circumstances will you stop shaving during that time. The first time venturing out into public can be a little scary, but after that it gets much easier as you realize that the Walls of Jericho didn't come tumbling down. That helps to bolster your confidence. You'll get a little more confident each time. By the time the 30 days are up, you'll have seen most of the people in your day-to-day life and it won't be an issue for them anymore. By then you'll have gotten more skilled at shaving. This is the stage where most guys realize that they really don't want to go back to having hair.

well, i have heard about the 30 day rule before, but the problem is i am going to a wedding on saturday and i have been asked to have hair. i mean, i think it would be god if i was bald there because i dont know most of the people that are there, but i do know some. and im sure its not as big a deal as im making it but school and all of the hairy @$$e$ that like to torment other, but i think if i stay bald, it will never end, all of the rude remarks, asking if i have cancer, all of it, will never end

Well, you're pretty much going to be bald for the wedding. You can grow back some stubble over the next week, but trust me, almost everyone there will consider your head to be "shaved" even with a week's worth of stubble. So if you're going to be bald in everyone's mind, don't you think you might as well be bald for real? ;)
....but school and all of the hairy @$$e$ that like to torment other, but i think if i stay bald, it will never end, all of the rude remarks, asking if i have cancer, all of it, will never end
No, that's where you're wrong. It will end, and quicker than you think, once people realize that you're planning to keep your head shaved long-term. You'll get some wisecracks in the beginning, to be sure but as long as you laugh them off and don't give any indication that it bothers you, people will move on and the wisecracks will stop.
Look at it this way: if you really to have a shaved head, it's worth putting up with some smart-ass remarks for a couple of days because it gets you to where you want to be in the end. Nothing will do more for your confidence than knowing you had the gumption to stick to what you wanted, and were willing to tolerate whatever crap came your way as a result of it. When the comments stop and you're still bald, it will be a huge ego boost.
At least give it a try. If I'm wrong and it's just unbearable after a couple of weeks, you can always grow it back then. But you'll feel better for having confronted your fears, then you will if you cave before you even get started. At 17, I don't think it will be as bad as you think. If you were in junior high, that's when teasing can be unmerciful, but by your age people are usually more into themselves anyway, having fun, getting ready for college, etc.

well, today i am going to walmart, and buying a headblade, and i donr plan on wearing a hat.
so that will help me probably
and im not 17.
i kow the site said that you had to be 16, but im only 14, i felt that i really need some help with being sly
so please dont ban me or someting guys. i really needed people to talk too, or i would have gone along with what others wanted, not myself,
you all saw my other post, the poll:
ANYONE CAN BE SLY!
AND I AM A SLY BALD GUY!
-
what do you mean?
-

Are your parents OK with you keeping a shaved head? Does your school have any rules against it?
-
OK, since you admitted your only 14 , I personally don't feel good about giving you any advice since your parents may be giving you some entirely different advice....I just don't feel comfortable.....that's just me......good luck to you.

TTSS-
I know you wanted advice but take it from a 49 year old city boy.... don't lie about anything in life...... because it usually comes to exactly what has happened here. Sooner or later you have to ante up.
A better way to approach the situation would have been to contact Tyler or one of the other mods when you first visited the site, explained your situation, and worked with them to allow you on....even if on a temporary basis.
Please don't take offense at this next statement.... By the tone of some of your topics I had a strong suspicion that you were very young.
We are a tight community here and I can't and won't speak for anyone else but I personally detest liars. You asked not to be banned but you never apologized for your lie/deception. Tsk....tsk....
-
thank you
for telling me that, because i really had not thought about it
i am very sorry, and i hope you all understand my situation
please forgive me, because no harm was meant, and i am very sorry
-
I, for one, accept your apology. Way to step up......
-
thank you, very much
and a big thanks to all the great sly guys there are here
you had open arms, and have accepted me for who i am
and again, sorry:)
