I could really use the Dr. Hair's advice and expertise. I would be a real project for him to use as an example. I'm sure there are quite of few of us with the special condition that is never address....Balding. It's a real drop in confidence at times and hinderance to have to deal with on a everyday basis. PLEASE HELP!!!

Some of these kids are having a hard time just trying to be there own person but because of who there parents are people expect them to be as big or as popular and they sometimes try to feel there parents shoes or wish they had the fame part of there parents life.I read that LLCool J son was a little jealous of his father sucess and the attention he gets especially from the ladies.He is having a hard time dealing with his father fame.

It is such a tragedy to hear about the unfortunate passing of a young man no matter if he is rich or poor! At 20 years of age, his life was just beginning only to be taken away from making the wrong choice! However, the use of drugs is continuing to play a major role in the loss of our young black men! What we must do, instead of pointing the finger to a rich or poor kid, is to lift up this family in prayer. I have to agree in saying that we also have to realize that this could have happened to any of us, celebrity or not!
