Should i do it?

Okay well i am 17. And i have been noticing something weird lately. My hair has been falling out and has become almost half in volume over the last 10 months. There is a bald spot forming on my crown. I have been seeing hair wherever i look. It is super scary and depressing. I kinda want to shave it off.

Do any of you have any idea what it is like to be bald in college/ high school? Will it make life hard for me during college??
