Awesome responses. It feels so much better to be responded to than trolling around other pages. I definitely don't mind my hair that much. I've always kept it really short, but when my friends or other people call me bald or say that I'm losing my hair, I just don't know what to say to that. I usually just tell them "So? Who cares?" but it's annoying.
I guess I just have a problem with the people who don't accept my hair. Some people just look at my hairline while I'm talking to them. So fricken annoying.
Also, I think the reason I haven't shaved my head yet, sad to say, is that my dad already has a shaved head. For some reason I feel like we'd look too similar and I don't wanna be told that we look the same. I wanna be different! I want my own identity.. So I've kept my hair. I'll just go with the Jason Statham look for now. -

But wouldnt it be fun to shave it and be like your Dad for a while ? I bet he would like that.

So why don't you turn your Dad on to the SBG site?
Oh, and one other thing, your identity is a lot more than you hair style, a whole lot more--think about it. -

If your agonizing over how to wear your hair, how to style it, etc., shave it. If you don't like the effect you can always grow back what you have. A few times I have let mine start to grow back to a buzz cut but end up grabbing the razor and shaving it off.

I can relate not wanting to look my dad when I was 20 and balding as he was full blown MPB with zero buzzed fringe. However, a couple years later I ended up looking like him (that was way back in big hair era of 1977)! Of course it did NOT help any when my older brother (still has full head of hair) referred to me as "Dad's Bald Son" at that time !

Chances are you are going to resemble your father as you grow older, whether you want to or not, ShadeSocks. Such is genetics, my friend! I shave my head, but my dad has kept his hair (he still has a lot for a 70 year old!), and people still comment to this day that I'm his spittin' image (which I practically am).
So why not try a shave? Like others have said, it'll grow back, and what will distinguish you is how you present and carry yourself. You will never know unless you give it a go. Best of luck, either way.

The only thing stopping you from doing the deed is you. Try it, you'll dig it! If you don't, it will grow out to a "00" in a week tops!

Obviously, you should do whatever you're most comfortable with. But it does seem a little backwards that your dad's sporting a more hip look than you are. No disrespect intended. -

Wellll
I have buzzed my hair before basically bald and in fact I buzzed it down two days ago. At first I was like "Ah god, it doesn't look as good as last year" but then I started liking it a bit through the rest of that day..
UNTIL!! I came home and saw my dad sitting on the couch and the look on his face when he saw my head.. disappointment. "Why'd you cut off your hair?" he says. I told him "because I like it." I knew that was gonna freakin happen. Now I entirely regret cutting it off.
I feel obligated to keep my hair grown out somewhat. I feel like if I shave it he'll die.
I realize how backwards it is but thats the situation. -

JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND DO IT!!!
Uh... on second thought maybe you better keep at least one eye open so you can see what and where you are shaving!! - LOL
...and oh...another thing....keep the
on.... we don't want any "oopsies"...!! 
The FREEDOM you will experience will be simply INCREDIBLE once you commit to going SLY!!
We can describe the "sly feeling" to you a thousand times over, but you will NEVER know true freedom until you take that initial step and experience it for yourself!!
It's a win-win situation. If you truly dislike the look (which I seriously doubt) your fuzz will grow back to the length it is now in a matter of weeks. As so many others have before you, take the 30-Day Challenge!! You'll be sooooooo glad you did!!

Well, you could try "talking" to your dad. I know this is a thing that most guys don't do, or do especially well, particularly with family members (the voice of experience here). But you might ask your dad why he shaved his head. Explain that you think you would look better shaved than buzzed or short. He just might understand. Then...just do it. Shave it off. It will look a lot "cleaner" than buzzed. Oh, and it will feel totally cool too! Then you will experience the new found freedom...and it's all done! That's it!
(Oh, and if you begin to realize that you rock the sly look and see that you look better than your dad...well, youth sort of has that advantage- but I didn't say that part.

Let's get your father on the site, he sounds like he still has issues notwithstanding his sly head. Once he's seen and met the guys here, he'll come around.

Hey
Obviously not an easy decision for anyone and we all go through it
Personally, the freedom is absolutely unbelievable and rather spending money on different ways to make what hair you have left look at best so-so, going natrual is the look
Remember: do what makes YOU feel good
Good Luck -

Why? If he's got MPB and shaves himself, then surely he must understand. When you get right down to it, the only person that is stopping you is you. We can all think of thousands of reasons not do it; rarely are they valid. Family members will adjust, trust me.
I hope that doesn't sound like I'm trying to push you into anything. If you don't want to do it, then don't. But make sure it's what you want. Don't keep your hair grown out because you think someone else wants you to. -

When I was 19 I still had plenty of hair but loved shaving it.
