Your best option is to just face it like a man.
I had a friend and a cousin who started losing their hair at an even earlier age (both at around 17) and they tried everything. Nothing works. Everything you try will either be temporary, have a negative effect and progress the thinning faster or will just make you look worse. I've looked into all of this stuff before and I've seen people spend thousands of dollars on 'miracle products' or 'special doctors' and none of them worked.
The only permanent solution is to get a $15,000 hair transplant and even that has significant problems. First of all, it'll leave very noticeable scars and that'll be a problem as you get older, secondly, your body could reject the transplant after a short time and you'll be left miserable because of how much money and time you wasted. Thirdly, unless you face the problem, your always going to be worried about it and it's going to stay on your mind, you'll be worried that someone may notice the transplant, which will only depress you more and cause you to be anti-social (because you'd rather avoid the public). Fourthly, no transplant is permanent, if your surgery is successful, then you'll be cool for a few years, but they'll expect you to come back and top up once you start noticing your hair thinning again (your going to have to spend even more money).
Hair laser therapy also does not work, the hair studios will tell you that they have a 95% success rate and they'll be lying. I have never seen nor heard of a person coming out of sessions happy about the outcome. At best, you'll get baby fluff and lose about $5,000 and a whole lot of trips to the laser therapy sessions.
DO NOT go under a hair cloning procedure. It's a desperate point for most males and even though it holds up the illusion pretty well, you still won't be happy with the outcome. The procedure involves the hair studio cloning your hair, making a wig and then glueing it to your head. They do it well enough that it's hard to notice, but you'll have to visit the studio every month so that they can remove the wig, shave off the hair that's growing under it (your real hair) and then glue it back on. It isn't reliable under water and you'll always be concerned that people will notice that it isn't real.
The only sort of temporary hair thinning product that I can recommend specifically for you is a thing called Toppik, it doesn't fix the problem, but it's the best product I've seen that hides thinning on the scalp really well. My cousin took a chance and bought some a while back and it worked phenomenally, hell, I tried some and it even made my hair look thicker than it already is. It's temporary and it could help you to hold out until you've made a final decision.

The thinning on your scalp is fairly minor right now and it could take years before it becomes extremely noticeable or you could just go through a burst and lose most of it (scalp) in a year. The best thing you could do is just shave it down to a 2 and you should look fine, the thinning should be barely noticeable and it'll also slow down thinning (even if by a small amount).
I shaved my head completely bald for the summer, with nothing left but a shadow and I felt great. I've started to let it grow back now, but I'll probably do it again eventually. I live in a Melbourne and I see bald people every single day and you know what? They usually get the hottest chicks. I have friends that have lost their hair earlier than you have and they've come out of the situation with beautiful girlfriends, great jobs and one of them even has a baby daughter now. It's not the end of the world, just shave it down to stubble, get a tan, go to the gym and use your height to you advantage and you should be fine, as long as your handsome.
It also sucks that you live in the UK. Bald people always look weird in the UK, you guys are usually so pale and thin. Move to Sydney, your accent and shaved head will pull crowds, you'll just have to pay a little more for games at launch.
All I know is that I'd rather look like this guy who accepted his thinning hair:
than this guy who just looks like a weirdo with his hair transplant
Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

My god WHAT THE FUCK!? Where did he get that transplant from!? Edward from Twilight!? That looks f'ing hideous. Jason Statham FTW.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
Look on the bright side....
You live a life that is so good... this is considered a giant catastrophe that you are super worried about and freaking out about.
Reminds me of this...

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
