So in case you can't tell...I spend a fairly good amount of my time looking for stuff on Dermatillomania. What stinks, though, is that not much is known about it. I want people to know this exists. I know there are thousands of other diseases and disorders people are studying and need to study ..... But I need you to know. I want you to talk to your families about this. Please, anyone who comes here .. Please.

I think this is what I want to do for my gold award (girl scouts). Raise awareness. Do you think they would like that idea?

I really want to. I can't wait to share this with my school.
