Hey y'all. So, I'm not the one suffering alopecia, but my kid's godmom--a lifelong friend of the family, was there when my daughter was born, etc--has a teenaged daughter who was recently diagnosed with alopecia. She's got big patches of hair loss and just started high school last month, which I can only imagine is a really mortifying combination of events to happen at once. Recently, some little bastard at her high school has taken to bullying her over her hair loss, which of course the school has done nothing about. I feel so bad for this girl y'all. She's a good kid, makes excellent grades, an athlete, has always steered clear of drugs (despite the community we live in, where drugs are prevalent and opportunities are limited). I don't know what to do to be supportive of her, except throw in money on her wig fund. I'm not close with this kid in particular but I'm close with her mom. Any advice?
