High Noon: 13YO Deals w/Hair Loss

A 13-year-old girl from Boise was on the Today Show Monday morning, and she was talking about something pretty personal and emotional:  A health condition she’s had for two years that’s caused her to lose all of the hair on her body. For plenty of junior high girls what you look like can be pretty important, but Caitlin Bishop and her friends say they’ve learned from experience that it’s what’s on the inside that really matters.  Bishop wants other kids to understand that too. Bishop showed KTVB old photos and videos of herself before she lost all of her hair when she was 11 years old.  She had no idea she would ever lose all of it/Jamie Grey, KTVB. More here.
