Baldness in hairline?
So this is something I've always been curious about a girl I've known since kindergarten but never asked about for obvious reasons.
Around the 6th-7th grade, this girl I went to school with but wasn't great friends with started going bald at her hairline right where her hairline and forehead meet. It was very obvious and eventually some people starting calling her mean nicknames behind her back. I noticed her try multiple ways to hide it (like wearing her hair in side bangs or in a poof) but none ever really worked. I used to think she might have tried cutting her hair and just messed up really bad, but 8 years later and it's now even worse.
I've just seen her upload a new picture on Facebook recently and noticed it had progressed to around the middle of her hairline. That's what prompted this question, being reminded of an 8 year curiosity. Anybody have any ideas as to what it could be? (she's always had very thin hair, if that means anything)

It could be bad genetics, even if her parents haven't had the same problems. Since it sounds like Alopecia I will provide a link. Look up the word online and look at images on line and likely you will find something similar to what your friend has.
It can occur in men and women, at any age, you don't have to be older to get it. One cause is auto immune disorder and another version is caused due to stress. My sister had the stress related one. Once she got rid of the stress, her hair grew back.
Since hers started at a young age, more likely it is connected to something going on physically in her body. If you get a chance to talk to her, ask if she's seen a doctor and got tested to see what might be causing it. Otherwise it will continue over time until she has no hair and will be forced to wear a wig if she doesn't like how she looks bald.
