                      Hi, I've been pulling my eyelashes out ever since kindergarten, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only person with this problem. I'm now in fourth grade. i don't do it as much but i do still so it when i get stressed. I had to go to a psychologist for 3 years and am still going. I really get embarrassed because there will be little chunks of eyelash missing mostly on the left side at the tips. I know my friends are trying not to notice but sometimes they ask me about it and i have to tell them that my eyes were itchy and i was scratching so hard i guess they fell out. lucky for me my eyelashes grow back quick. I mostly pull them out when I'm stressed, my eyes itch, I'm mad or frustrated,when im watching tv, using the computer, reading, when I'm bored, and when it flat out feels good, but soon after i regret it.
                         by 3rd grade i was pretty much done with it. I still tug at them but all that time not pulling them out really strengthened them. I do warn you though if this is new to you try to stop as soon as you can. it is very embarrassing, really hard to get over if you get addicted to it, and it can be hard to talk to people or close your eyes in public.  so to every one im giving a little hope, if i could stop, you can stop!
