With the caveat that self deprication is a thin line to walk sometimes, without being perceived as a clown.In all seriousness my son has alopecia. He had some big patches for a while at one point and you could tell it bothered him, no surprise. We cut his hair extra short I just told him that if he’s worried about being teased just beat them to it and make open jokes about it yourself. Take that power away from others and own it. He did exactly that and at 8 years of age he showed more maturity than Will and his bald ass bitch. I got that great parenting advice watching 8 mile when Rabbit gets inspired to make fun of himself on stage so others won’t.
