Is parting my hair to the side creating a thinning patch of hair?

Question

I am 23 and have very thick hair, recently I've noticed that my hair is thinning in the front where my part is. It's about a quarter size patch. Is this from parting my hair on the side for so long? What can I do to help. I'm almost in tears because I do not want a bald patch in the front but rapidly its getting thinner and thinner.

I've included a picture to show where it is.

I have the same problem as you do and I asked my hair dresser about it. He said it is perfectly all right so no worries, mate !
