A Plauge of Tics

I really enjoyed reading this piece. I thought it was very easy to read and it was very interesting to me. I have a friend who suffers from OCD but his is not as bad as the boy's is in this essay.  I think it's unbelievable how ignorant his family and teacher are to his condition. Instead of trying to help him, they make fun of him. He suffers from a serious disease and has no one there to give him support for it.  Sometimes I think I suffer from mild OCD with certain things, but then again who doesn't? We all have our own special habits or things we HAVE to do to stay in a routine, but I can't imagine living how the boy does in this story. It would be horrible. I was glad when he finally found a way to control his tics for the most part in college. GO HIM!!
