Is it bad right now

Hi. I'm 14 and I'm a guy. I started pulling my hair maybe a month and a half ago. I did it at first because i thought the knots in my hair were lice so i got paranoid and pulled them only to find it was just hair. i got addicting and now i cant stop. if im playing with my hair and i think about it, i can stop and not do it for a little...the second my hands get on a knot...i battle with myself. when i do choose to just let go, i dont feel anxious, but then i realize i have a huge knot, so i untangle it and end up pulling some out anyway. the question i want to know, is how bad does it look right now? The bald spot is on top...The picture is attached to this...I am considering shaving my head...Not completely, only enough so i cant pull it. what do you guys think? thanks!

Bleenix, it sounds like you need help. Could you talk to your doctor and ask where you can find a psych to help you with this? Keeping both your hands busy can be good for fighting the urge.
That picture doesn't look so bad.

Hello,

I honestly do not think it is that bad. I am 21 and have been pulling for about 6 years now and i have had worse. I have considered shaving my head too, so i could hide the spots but i realized yea it might cover the spots but when i grows a little i will again pull it all out.. I was so desperate once that i cute a lot of hairs of the back side of my head and it was soo short like a boys hair but luckily it was kinda covered. My hairdresser always says shorter hairs makes it less noticable so maybe you could just cute it a little short. Maybe you could ask your hair dresser and see what they say thats what i did. If you have any other questions you can always send me a message! i am always here to help, though i am no expert
