Jackson has something called has alopecia, a medical condition that causes hair loss.

His hair fell out. It was only two weeks ago that he had a full head of hair.

“Sunday night it was really bad. There were lots of tears and I was nervous. He didn’t know what the kids in class would think or say,” said Arine LeStrange, Jackson’s mother.
