Be it via alopecia or a similar condition, really early onset male pattern baldness, some sort of accident... it's not as though high school wasn't already hard enough, now you're losing your hair a few decades early.
Some may try to hide it with combovers, some may go 'au naturel' or just shave all their remaining hair off to stop looking patchy, but it will often be a sore spot. A few will embrace it and not let it get them down.
A prematurely bald head is not to be confused with a shaved one (unless, as mentioned above, the man shaved his head because he was balding anyway).
See also Bald Head of Toughness. Contrast Charlie Brown Baldness, where a character has hair that's drawn as being (almost) bald. When done with a small child, or a teenage girl, it's usually case of the Littlest Cancer Patient. Compare Prematurely Grey-Haired.

In an early episode of The Simpsons, Mr. Burns reveals that he lost his hair during his senior year at Yale (although flashback scenes are, shockingly, not always consistent).
Flashbacks are generally consistent with the idea that Homer had a thick head of hair in his teens, had it thin out over his twenties, and was almost completely bald by his mid-thirties.
One episode of The Simpsons showed Bart going bald some time in his late 20's/early 30's.
Jimbo Jones, one of Springfield's prominent teen bullies, has been shown to be bald under his cap.

The Order of the Stick:
The prequel On The Origin of PCs makes it known that premature baldness runs in Roy Greenhilt's family. Roy shaved his head in college. It is never specified whether he shaves or is naturally bald in the comic's "present".
Roy mentions that he still shaves his head in the in-character preface to Book 4, but, again, the strip is currently in Book 7.
While not directly stated, dwarven cleric Durkon has said he's been bald for "40 years," and is currently 55, meaning he went bald as a teenager. Given that dwarves live longer than humans, this means he went bald even younger in relative terms.

American Dad!:
It is revealed in the episode "Chimdale" that Stan is actually bald and has been wearing a wig since he entered college. His baldness was a side effect from an experimental drug he took to cure his acne he suffered through his teen years. He later got hair plugs in "Comb Over: A Hair Piece".
Avery Bullock was shown as a child in "Fellow Traveler", and was balding with white hair even then.

Steve Burns of Blue's Clues fame. You can see him gradually losing his hair over the course of his tenure on the show. In fact, his premature baldness is a part of the reason why he left, as he thought he would look too "old" for the kids watching. His reappearance on the successor Blue's Clues & You! shows him wearing a detective-style fedora on top of his shaved head.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin has clarified that his shaved head in WWF was due to this, as his hairline had been receding since his WCW debut. He briefly sported a buzz cut during his first few months as the Ringmaster, but he didn't like the look of it and decided to just get rid of his hair altogether.

Benson from Regular Show is shown bald as a child in "Think Positive", yet he also had hair as a child in a photo in "Saving Time", and as a teen/young adult in "Expert or Liar". So he must have lost his hair, then grown his hair back, then lost it again. Benson is a gumball machine, though, so the artists are probably just inconsistent on whether or not he ever had Non-Mammalian Hair.

Kagerou Usui in Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei has it even worse than most: Though his comb-over covers his bald spot, no one notices him, to the point where he can shout in someone's ear and the listener will wonder what just made a noise. However, whenever his bald spot is exposed (usually after he's gotten accustomed to being invisible and while he's doing something embarrassing, like reading porn in the classroom), people suddenly all fix their gaze on him. They then proceed to punish him, mock him or both.

During the majority of Season 2 of The Most Popular Girls in School, 17-year-old Mackenzie Zales has to deal with the risk of going bald; she loses hair every time she curses, and there was already a noticeable bald spot on the side of her head at the season's start. It's overcome by the beginning of Season 3, however.

The Amazing World of Gumball:
Richard is 38 and is sometimes stated to be bald(ing). You can't actually see this, as he's an anthropomorphic rabbit drawn with a uniform fur coat.
Played with by Darwin. He occasionally expresses angst about being bald at age ten, but he's a fish, so (barring a few one-off jokes) he's never had hair and isn't supposed to.

Alex Wright had a noticable receding hairline despite being very young (he was only 18 when WCW signed him). This led to him adopting a mohawk after being repackaged as Berlyn and later shaving his head completely after the gimmick was dropped.

Genki Horiguchi of Dragon Gate debuted with a surfer gimmick and a long mane of hair that started falling out only a year into his career. Jokes about the baldness led him to a Face–Heel Turn. Later he learned to channel the rage he felt at the H-A-G-Enote 'hage' is Japanese for 'bald' chants into fighting spirit. Once he turned face again, the fans started chanting H-A-G-E to cheer him on.

Matt Lucas also suffers from alopecia, and he's used his baldness to his advantage, playing a wide variety of characters on Little Britain using wigs and makeup.

Julia Goldberger from Ollie & Scoops is of the receding hairline variant. She used to have a full head of hair as seen in "Student of the Month" but it got fewer and fewer every month. It's implied that the stress she puts on herself (and her ponytail) might be the cause.

When Kurt Angle first debuted in the WWE in 1999, he had a full head of hair◊, but by the time he won his first world championship only a little over a year later, his hairline had receded dramatically. In 2002, Kurt was placed into an angle with Edge that culminated in a Hair vs. Hair match which Kurt lost. Kurt (in Kayfabe) didn't take being shaved bald too well at first and covered it with a hairpiece held in place by amateur wrestling style headgear. After a couple months he got sick of it and embraced his newfound baldness.

It's hinted in Superman Returns that Luthor went bald at a very young age. One of the things his father had told him when he was a kid besides the speech about real estate, and "Get Out!", was "You're losing your hair."

South Park:
"Weight Gain 4000" shows that Mr. Garrison had male pattern baldness and gray hair even as a young child. However, this would be contradicted in "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut", when Garrison is shown with a full head of brown hair on the night that Cartman was conceived (though it could be a wig).
Minor classmate Jason White appears to have a receding hairline at the age of 10.

When first seen on TV without his mask on in 1999, Rey Mysterio Jr., who was 24 at the time, had thin hair that was combed forward and a bald spot in the back. He would shave his head later on and even after donning the mask once more in 2002, some of his masks leave the back of his head exposed, showing that he has kept his head shaved since.

Doug is drawn with few hairs but implied to have a full head in the Nickelodeon series, but the Disney series openly acknowledged in the episode "Doug's Hairy Situation" that Doug was losing his hair at 12, and had him come to terms with it. His neighbor Mr. Dink is also revealed to have lost his hair when he was Doug's age and wears a combover.

Eyeshield 21:
Yukimitsu Manabu is already losing his hair from stress in his second year of high school. At the start of the Kanto tournament, he starts styling his hair differently, and it isn't nearly so apparent. According to a Fourth-Wall Mail Slot segment in the manga, he's had a ridiculously high hairline since birth.
Unsui Kongo's head hair has been stubble his entire life it seems, and Agon lampshades this, "Still as bald as ever."

Babylon 5: Michael Garibaldi's hair noticeably thinned over the course of the series, with him being completely bald by the end of the fourth season. This was chalked up to Garibaldi being exposed to a chemical that caused all of his hair to fall out.

Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation kinda-sorta flip-flops on the idea. The series itself showed that Picard had a full head of hair during his time in Starfleet Academy, and was thinning out about ten years before he took command of the Enterprise-D, but Star Trek: Nemesis suggested otherwise (or at least he was bald in one photo).
