Why do I want to shave my head?

Question

I'm 13 and don't have any disorder or depression and I want to shave my head. For the past few years I have had this EXTREMELY STRONG urge to shave my head. I want my whole head shaved with clippers and then, using a razor, shave what is left. I also want to do it myself.

Answer

It's because you are surrounded by people who treat you as a thing of no importance. I felt the same way at age 13, except I wanted a tattoo. But I knew that if I got a tattoo they would laugh and treat me as a tattooed thing of no importance. So I didn't do it.
