Is loosing hair prevalent in ur family? It could be in the genes.  
Please do not do the comb over.  Females do not really like that. 
However, I do not know if u care about that aspect.  I am dealing with 
that with my husband and a friend of his just asked bluntly when he was 
going to shave his head.  The guy explained how low maintenance it was 
and how glad he finally did that.  My brother has been bald since he was 
21. My dad when he was 30. My son was thinning when he was 21.  He 
didn't care. He knew he was going to be bald at a early age. He always 
felt that if someone didn't 'like' him because of his hair loss, then he 
didn't want to be bothered with that person. I never got a chance to see 
him totally bald. My husband was balding and that did not stop me from 
going out with him. SOOOO...... have confidence in urself and love 
urself for who YOU are.  That is how it was for my son.

BTW James is a great name! Tell ur doctor about ur hair just incase it 
isn't in ur genes. I am sure he will talk to you about it.  Tell us the 
results.
