Good and bad
Hey everyone,
( you will probably think what has Rihanna have to do with me feeling down but it's on another topic )
So I have things in my life now, that seems good but somehow I manage to put a negative meaning to them..
The first bad thing is not related to my alopecia...
lately I have been feeling really confused and depressed.
Have to pass my exams, and it's not going very well, I have pretty good grades, but still I feel like a failure, when I don't get the best score...I rely a lot on my grades, because I feel that It's the most important thing, without my intelligence I don't have a lot to show for. The stress is killing me, when I come home after an unsuccessful test I just can't do anything - I try to think of things that make me happy, but lately I can't find anything.
Also on an not so related topic, I have a lot of regrowth, but don't know what to do with it, some people tell me "You should dye it blond, others - you shouldn't dye it, or dye it black" some say I should cut it, and I really didn't even ask them for opinion, and It's getting annoying, because I know that this hair can just easily go away as it grew out and I don't know what's best, I want to look good for my boyfriend, but I what to make my own decision, sadly I don't know what I want...
Maybe some kind of cool hair cut like Rihannas
(just I don't have enough length for that...)
This is my head now...With a few failures in regrowth
What fun can you do with hair this long? Or will I have to wait for it to grow longer?

At this length, until it grows more, you can use dyes that can be washed out to experiment or get crazy for parties, then add parts of scarves and jewelry (BIG!) to dress it up. Go online YouTube for scarf-tying ideas...Tan B. on this site knows a great one using parts of stretchy t-shirts. You have WAAAAAY more growth than I do...I would think even hats would look good with your hair. I found a hat store in a tourist area that had a zillion cool choices in hats, in all colors! Any near you?
As to being a perfectionist on the grades, I found I missed a lot of fun in school trying for those straight As. My C-student friends built up memories and adventures, which is what they are now discussing on Facebook 40 years later. Take a break and make some memories, eh? No one will remember 40 years from now what score you got on an exam. Go put on some music, study at a coffee shop near a university, get a group together for dumb movies and pizza plus sleepover, change a style in your house or on you. SUMMER!!!!!!

Tallgirl, thanks!:) I'll try some new styles with T shirts from Tab B - loved the way she looked:) maybe I'll find something that's good for me:) I do have a wig, but I rarely wear it, because I feel a bit self concise...
Maybe at the saloon they'll charge less for such short hair:D
About the grades - I understand that you are right and I try to tell myself the same thing, but sometimes It's hard to convince myself, that I shouldn't be so depressed over a bad grade - it's just something that happens;/ Hope in some time It will go away, because really life is more important then the grades we get in it.
Hey, Tan B - I like the shaven look too - it looks tidy, but now - it's grown longer and in the morning the hair manages to tangle and I look like a homeless person and can't even comb it out:D It's so funny:D I'll have to try something to find my style again:) and thanks, I will try to go out more:)
Maria Gamba - I have shaven it two tomes already, but it keeps coming back so I'll try to grow it out a bit - I want some hair on my head for winter:D

Wow that's a lot of growth! If you want to do something to it why not dye it black or a zany co our? Depends on your personality. Good luck and I hope it stays!!!

I had some regrowth and just shaved it off . Your blonde short idea is not that bad. Don't be mistaken; off course your intelligence is very important as is character. But nevertheless you have something to show for. Your bald looks are great!
