I'm not a psychologist but it definetly sounds like you have trichotillomania (trick-oh-till-oh-may-nee-ah). It's an impulse control disorder characterized by recurrent urges to pull out hair resulting in noticible bald patches. Take advice from someone who suffers from this disorder (ie. me) tell someone because it's really, really hard to stop on your own. For more information go to www.trich.org Good luck with everything =)

Wear a rubberband on your wrist and snap it

this is refered to as trichotillomania. I had it as a very young child. Counseling and stress therapy helped me lose it, but every once in a while I regress. It's tough to beat and you will need help. Tell your parents or your doctor.

try to find something else to do, like bite your nails. its a lot less destructive

you probably do this because your are bored or stressed . insted of doing this you should try chewing gum or kniting or even playing with silly putty ,it helps

DUDE! I just watched a dr. phil show about this. I didn't watch it all.... maybe u should write him a letter... cause he'd know how to tell u the right thing to do

were learning about this in health. Try putting your anger and stress into something else like screaming into a pillow, stress ball, or dancing it sounds silly but it works!
hope i helped!

2 words. Stress ball. Well, more than two words. I love stress balls. I used to cut, and I'm trying to stop now. I talk to my fave teacher about it, and she helps. But all you're doing is pulling out hair, not as bad. Before you get upset, or as you start to get upset, put a ponytail holder on your wrist, or a rubberband, and when you are angry, pull it. The more angry/bored/stressed you are, the higher you pull it. Or the stress ball. Those squishy balls that are fun to squeeze, especially when you are stressed. I'm glad you don't cut. It's a bad option, and you should never do it. But hair pulling can be bad, it would really suck if you pulled out all your hair.(haha, I don't think that's possible.) Just think of the kids with lukeimia( I don't know how to spell it) I say that because, they don't have hair to pull. (I hope you know I'm kidding... unless for some odd reason that helpes, then I find you a strange strange person hahaha)

well everytime you start doing it stop yourself. thats how i stopped myself from cracking my knuckles.
