I went through this all the time in my teen years. It was frustrating and I didn't even wear my hair out, it was always in braids(not extensions!, those things pulled my hair out). Don't listen to them, do what you feel is right for you. I gave in and did what people told me to do and lost a ton of my hair. Had I been true to myself and left my hair alone, I would have all of my hair on my head.
Like you, I don't look good in wigs, but that is my alternative now. I regret what I did to my hair in the past. I hope I helped.
