My first attempt was at 13 years old, my secondary school had an issue with my hair, they told my parents I cant come into school if I didnt get my hair style changed.
when I got home in the evening, my parents told me my school called in regards to my hairstyle and I needed to change the style.
I told them Ill go to the hairdresser the next day after classes but my mother refused she wanted me to cut my hair myself which was a nono to me.
That very evening she came into the room with a shaving stick , my Dad pinned me down and my mother ran it through my head till I was completely bald with patches.
I remember running down to the medicine cabinet and grabbing all the pills I could, i swallowed alot of them and woke up in hospital on an iv and heart monitor but i was still alive.
A few hours later social services came in and was speaking to me trying to figure out if this was a case of abuse. ( I lied it had nothing to do with abuse) and said it was accidental. Part of the reasons I lied was due to being scared. Scared of my parents what theyll do to me if i told then what truly happened.
Theyre abusive , always been abusive, physically and verbally.
When i went back into school , i lied to my classmates my hair fell out after leaving on relaxer for far to long
That was my very first attempt.

Your parents pinning you down to shave your hair off... Hair is very much tied to ones identity, how one expresses oneself. That instance alone is very cruel, then feeling the need to lie to protect yourself :( It's not hard to imagine I'd react similarly if I had to endure what you did at that age.
