Answer #1

Have you ever tried nail polish? That worked for me when I was younger. I couldn’t stand chipped nail polish, so I painted them and stopped biting them. You can also get your nails done, or even buy the cheap press on nails. :)

Answer #2

put pepper underneath your finger nails?

Answer #3

To stop biting mine I put nail polish on them. I can’t stand the sight of chipped nail polish so I just automatically stopped. Only wish I’d thought of it sooner. Good luck in stopping (Y)

hey you 2, make room in that bubble of yours… I’m comin in! lol. that was cheesy. sorry. yeah I bite my nails too and it aggravates the crud outta me because I want my nails to be pretty and long like my friends’ but I do it cause of force of habit! its so annoying. ugh. I wish I could hep but. alas. I’m in your bubble.

Answer #5

well the nail polish works until something makes me nervous…then I just chew right through! and I cant have fake nails because I play basketball and coach wont allow it!

Answer #6

I stopped chewing mine recently (after chewing them my WHOLE life)

This is what I did.

I got the ugliest and the BRIGHTEST nail polish I could find and painted my nails with it - now every time my hand goes to my mouth and I see the color I remind myself not to bite.

Maybe it’s worth a try. Also putting aloe vera juice on your nails should help you kick the habit…it tastes disgustingly bitter.

Answer #7

just wear a fat rubber band on your wrist and every time you catch your self doing it snap it

Answer #8

I have that problem 2, my parents scream at me but now they stopped because there is no point me and you are in the same bubble

Answer #9

Answer #10

Sorry, I forgot about that part.
