i've been losing a lot of hair lately. like when i get out of the shower & brush my hair, i lose like 20 hairs. i don't yank it when brushing it. i brush it how your suppose to; from tips to roots. & during the day i can just run my fingers through it & lose about five hairs every time. also, during school hairs will fall onto my shirt & everytime i look down i see hairs all over my shirt. my hair seems to be getting very thin too. it's starting to really concern me. is there a problem?

A girl I knew last year had a disease called Alopecia, which is a disease that effects nothing except your hair~ causing extreme hair loss. Typically it goes away, but sometimes you can relapse and get it again. I'd visit your doctor if you're THAT concerned that there's a lot of hair falling out. I get hair loss too, but not every time I pull at it. Usually when I get out of the shower or when I'm in the shower a lot of hair comes out, but that's natural. Just get checked by your doctor to make sure, since this is just an advice site we can only give advice, I suggest asking your mom or dad about it and asking them to make you an appointment if they think it's serious.
Sorry if this worried you, the chances of you having Alopecia are slim, but I wouldn't take the risk, I'd get checked. I also agree with the person who answered below me, it could also be from not getting your hair cut. But if that's the case then your hair wouldn't be thinning as you say it is.
