Hello and welcome!
I am sorry about your son being bullied. There is help from the National Alopecia Areata Foundation. Go to their web site at www.naaf.org and you can send for a free "School Pack." It includes a video that can be played at your school for the kids. When the other children understand slopecia they generally will stop their cruelty.
Leslie Ann
