Don't let it get you down! You seem realy sure of your self, and you're really calm about it all. It must be really frusterating. Can you develope it as a child, rather than just always having it?

[teensWts]

It can get better (or worse) as you get older, and even though it usually goes away (or isn't as bad) it truly depends on the person.

Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe! :)

You look pretty, honestly. Can't believe you have a disorder. Keep it up, young one.

I have a mild Tourettes that got more under control with a pill, but it made me sleep too much. Im not a normal case I guess since it usually dies down as you get older, but mine was hardly noticeable until this past year and I am 22 now. I couldnt walk down the street with throwing my head around, it is really embarrassing but no one said anything to me and I thought I could just learn to control it with less stress. Im glad my mom's friend finally did mention it, that is when I got it treated.

no, it will get better to a cirtain point- depending on the person, but it will never compleatly go away. Its in your dna =(

the arm thing is something other than tourrets, i think it ties into ocd? but the other two are tourretes. try chewing gum, it helps me distract my tourrets. but the only downside is buying alot of gum

[BrownEyedBrahmin]

I have tourette's and it sucks!!! It's distracting and the severe tics leave me with bad neck cramps. ughhhhh. but what's the worst is the judgements people have on it, like thinking that somebody with tourette's syndrome would look different (as in face and body, not as in how they move). Sometimes I feel like a freak, but the truth is that I think and act like anybody else, just I move a bit more...

[jayandsilentbob96]

This is kinda off subject.....well sortof......actually not really i dont know but anyway who here hates the fact that people put videos on youtube about people that have tourettes and they laugh at them because they are always swearing i think its really selfish BTW nice vid, you are a strong person keep up the good work.

[BekaThePixie]

You are a very strong girl. I don't know if I could be that strong if I had tourettes.

BTW, this is very off topic but I absolutely love your hair, girl! I'm going to steal it when you're not looking. *shifty eyes* jk, mostly. Still love it. :D

[BekaThePixie]

So people with a disorder can't be beautiful?
