ok, this might seem like a weird question. But I just told my mum about this problem i'm having and she got really worried and told me i have to stop at once. it got me a bit freaked that i might have some mental problem or something, my mum just said so...
So, here's the problem: Every single thing i read and every single word i look at i have to read backwards. My mind just tells me to read it backwards and i can't stop. No matter how hard i try i can't stop myself. I know, I know, this is probably really stupid, but just thought id ask.

Yes, it could be something called compulsive behaviour, but if it only started a while ago, it will most probably stop the same way it started. What you can and should do is talk to a counselor or a psychologist, whoever works at your school, and share your concern with them. It's not stupid, it's something that millions of people have experienced in one form or another. It's hard to make yourself stop doing it, but it will be easier with professional help. Good luck!
