How old were you when you first started to pull?

I think I was about 8 or 9, they say it usually hits around the time of puberty. Odd? Why do you think this is?

I also recently started a blog I would appreciate your opinions

Trichstrr, please don't just be here to advertise your own blog... ... You've already posted twice in quick succession and it could be interpretted as spam. I used to always pull my hair when I was younger, but I think that it indeed probably started during adolescence.

i was about 12-13. i dont know why it started though, dont really know what couldof caused me to start. recently have been going to therapy and also have severe depression/anxiety. anxiety goes hand and hand with trich, sometimes.

I think I was very young, maybe 8 or 9. Possibly younger.

I was 13 or 14, in Junior high school. A friend of mine told me if you pulled out a hair, and got the root, it could stick to things. To prove it, he pulled out one of my hairs and stuck it to a post next to us. I went home and just couldn't stop pulling trying to get to the roots.

That was always my thing. I wanted the root.
Not to stick it. I just wanted it.
Then I felt the need to chew it. I dunno why..

I was in 1st grade!!
i'm not currently 18 years old and it's barley gotten any better..

I was 19, though I had developed a habit of rubbing my eyebrows when I was about 6 or 7.

I started when I was 14 or 15?
I started when my parents where going through a "divorce"(they reconciled)
I was living with my mom, and she would leave for days on end. I guess it started because of that.
