I have been bitting my nails for a while and I can not seem to stop. I have tried everything to stop my biting, but i have no more ideas. Can you please help?

put tape at the tips of your fingers so that everytime you go to bite you are biting tape..eventually you'll get out of the habit...or if you like gum everytime you have the urge to bite your nails put gum in your mouth and think about chewing the gum instead of your nail. if you keep doing that for a while eventually you should stop thinking about your nails all together.
good luck =]

Here's what's worked for me.
Ok, I had really bad teeth....genetics, I guess...been dealing with bad teeth all my life. But I've never had enough money to get the serious dental work I needed, so, one by one, they were getting pulled through the years.
FInally, I had only 7 teeth left on the bottom. I borrowed some money (since even those teeth were causing tremendous pain) and opted to get a bottom denture.
Well, the denture fits like I got it out of a fifty-cent gumball machine, so I only wear them when I work or am going to be around people whom I'd rather not know about my denture....I also wear it if I go to eat at a restaurant with friends.
Not having teeth on the bottom has CURED my nail-biting! I have tough gums, but my gums are no match for my fingernails.
Of course.....if I were you, I'd save teeth removal for
a last resort. :-)

for your nail biting habit, maybe you should get profession acrylic nails put on...it costs about 20 dollars to start and 15 bucks every 2 weeks or so, your nails will look really nice and the acrylic is really hard so i doubt you'll bite it off...after a few months you may wean your self from that bad habit and you can try to grow them out yourself. you'll feel good about yourself when you see how nice your nails can really look....good luck

wear gloves or if that is weird in the summer make a jar and every time you bite your nails put a quarter in the jar. don't take the money out of the jar till you stop biting your nails.

Put either Hot Sauce or Tabasco underneath your nails. So that way it burns when ya bite em'. Worked for me anyway. And, it's cheap.
