"Alopecia Areata is not about people accepting you,it about you accepting you!!! Hair does not define who you are. You are beautiful with/without hair. If you find the inner beauty within oneself, the outer beauty will show also."

I am Sandy, Olivia's mom and I manage her profile for her. We would like to welcome you to Alopecia World. You are going to enjoy the people that you meet here. We have friends from all over the world! Olivia lost all of her hair twice since age two. At age 8 she decided not to wear hats or wigs. Olivia handles being bald, very well. As her mom it took me a while to finally come to acceptance. But on the positive side Olivia has had some amazing
opportunities as a result of her condition. She has shared her story in our local media numerous times and is now a Kid Caster on Radio Disney. We just completed a major project where we wrote, filmed and produced a music video about alopecia and bullying. Though Olivia has never been teased or bullied, we know others who have. You can view it on Olivia's profile, just click on videos and then on 'I COULD BE GREAT!' Let us know what you
think.

Hey Pamela,
I hope you find that you are not alone here and that we all are here to listen and give you a place to vent about how you feel. You are going to go through the emotions of the loss because your hair is a part of you, but you have to remember...You are not just your hair, there are many beautiful aspects about you that makes you who you are! Keep your head up! :)

Hi Pamela-

Welcome! This condition is a particularly big challenge especially at the start ...but the good news is that it does get easier and easier to live well and normally. It's just good to go easy on yourself and ride it out a bit. Being able to talk about it openly is key to getting on with life. I've had AU/AT since 1996 and I had too many transitional phases along the way to count....but they each taught me something valuable about myself and my ability to cope and be the person I want to be.And most of all I learned the best lesson that other people really do not care about what's on my head or not on my head. I hope we can provide collectively good support for you here on AW...
