Advice: A 20-something letter-writer has gone bald and is already tired of the thoughtless things people say.
I kid, of course. But I am dumbstruck and will need a moment for this one.A college friend of mine was nearly bald and somewhat sensitive about it, although he would endure some teasing from our friend group. When he got a new driver’s license, someone asked him what he put down for hair color. He responded, “Clear.” So maybe, “I’m not bald, I just have clear hair,” could be a response.
I think that’s a great response, but have to say, what is it with the teasing about baldness? Or any other trait that’s beyond our control? Many of the bald guys I know developed a whole arsenal of self-deprecating remarks, I imagine to preempt this type of teasing — but I have to say, I wish they hadn’t had to do it. It’s even worse when it comes from strangers, but even from friends, I don’t really get it.I am 100 percent with you on teasing for baldness, and the questions are just appalling.
