and no, i am not a "hat person"

it's ok when there are bits of hair missing on the back of my head, because i can pin other bits of hair over it. but what exactly is the correct procedure for a receding hair line? i feel like everybody stares at the sides of my head because they're totally naked with only a few pubes sticking out and maybe it's time to shave my head completely because then, at least, my head would be equally embarrassed and no one would ever have to say, "there goes that girl with rude bits on the sides of her head."
