Look at this picture of this boy he has a cowlick
that is what you might have , your under 18 that is normal
you could see a dermatologist and see what they tell you
you could have the start of some time of apolecia
The administration of intralesional steroid injections
(anti-inflammatory medications which can help to
stimulate the hair growth cycle and suppress the
immune system – often given every 4 to 6 weeks).
Widely used as a first-line treatment for alopecia areata,
injections are seemingly preferred over topical corticosteroids
for use in localised alopecia (with less than 50% hair loss).
Those with extensive, long-standing or conditions which have
progressed rapidly generally appear not to respond as well in
terms of regrowth success. If no improvement is seen after 6
months, a doctor may recommend discontinuing this treatment
option. Studies have shown the best regrowth success for patients
with patchy conditions (with up to 92% of subjects showing favourable
results), and alopecia totalis (up to 61% of subjects showing positive
results) within 3 months of treatment. Regrowth can still be observed
with some success thereafter, persisting for between 6 and 9 months
following just one injection.
Injections are given intradermally (i. e. injected into the dermis, just beneath
the epidermal skin layer) so as to achieve a longer absorption time (compared
to injections given subcutaneously or in the muscle). The most commonly used
synthetic corticosteroid is a Triamcinolone acetonide suspension (Kenalog),
which is generally well tolerated by patients.
Lower injection concentrations are favoured for the facial area so as to reduce the
risk of possible steroid skin atrophy (a thinning of the skin as a result of a reduction
in dermal and epidermal thickness, a regression of sebaceous glands, subcutaneous
fat loss, as well as atrophy of the muscle layer). Injection sites may be spread out,
covering affected areas (at least 1 cm apart).
Injection side-effects are generally mild, the most common being a little pain at the
injection site. Some skin atrophy may also be experienced. If this occurs, a doctor
will likely reduce the concentration of the corticosteroid for future injections.

Sorry I dont really know very much about the subject, it could be alopecia?
Goto your doctor etc
The most important thing is to stop worrying about it, that is by far the worst thing you can possibly do and will cause you far more problems than the bald spot itself.
I had a bald spot just like that in the 6th grade you can put some oil or whatever you use to grow your hair. I wore a headband to cover up the patch of hair that missing until it grew back. My advice to you is find a product that promotes hair growth and stay consistent with using it.
It honestly isn't bad. It just looks like an interesting part. Maybe try putting some Jamaican black castor oil on that spot everyday for 15 mins a day til you see results. It will help your hair grow in that spot.
Might be related to a medical problem. I had a friend who had something similar, and she had an issue with her pituitary gland I believe it was. She took meds for a while and went back to normal.
There are hair growing shampoos you can try as well as powders that can cover the balding area and make your hairline more even.

Get your heart checked out. Hair loss is a sign of heart problems and fix it if it falls out. Anything you can do to improve yourself is good
It’s probably not a bald spot it’s probably a cowlick
Keep watching and taking pictures every 2 weeks or every month.
If it gets bigger, go to the doctor and get him to prescribe you finasteride or any anti androgen.
If it stays the same size for 3 months, your fine.Stop putting your hair up unless it’s very loose. It’ll grow back.
I don't get what you're talking about? Is something wrong in this picture? Just sounds like another girl freaking out about stuff that ain't that important.
I think that's just your hair line. You have a cowlick there.
My eyes
Don't worry about it. Nobody even cares except you.
