A heartbroken mum has told of how school bullies led to her her little girl's hair falling out - with it likely never growing back.
Wendy Pullan first spotted a small bald patch on her daughter Bonnie's head while she was off school during a half-term holiday, with the rest of the youngster's hair soon falling out, Hull Live reports.
She did have some hair grow back while at home with her mum during the Covid lockdown, however Wendy believes that the stress Bonnie suffered when returning to school led to the loss of her hair, eyelashes and eyebrows.
The schoolgirl was eventually diagnosed with alopecia universalis, a condition that causes complete hair loss which is unlikely to grow back.
Wendy, from Halifax, says Bonnie is facing a daily struggle with her confidence and self-image.
She said: "As a family, we engage with Alopecia charities and remind Bonnie every day that real beauty is on the inside, but the reality is we know the importance of hair to young girls.
"As secondary school looms she says things to me like 'Mum, I don’t like myself' or 'Mum, all of my friends are pretty and I’m not'. It is heartbreaking to see the toll it has on her mental health."
Wendy describes Bonnie as a 'typical girl' who enjoys playing out and watching videos.
She also raises money for Alopecia UK and has won an award from the charity for her fundraising work which included a sponsored walk.
Wendy said: "Bonnie has always been so strong, winning awards at school. She won an award for Alopecia UK for her fundraising and spreading awareness. She’s the strongest girl I know."
Bonnie and her family are now asking for donations to change her life and give her back the confidence she lost when her hair fell out.
