If it's messing up your teeth, it is. Otherwise, I'd say it's cheaper than therapy.

No it is not normal and the only thing that can help is to make the teenager change the habbit on something else.
maybe giving him a fruit or glasses of juice just to keeping busy from the thumb.
Something would be nice its a ball,everytime he feel the need to put the thumb in his mouth,just tell him to squeeze the ball.good luck!

Don't know anything positive about it.
Know some negatives, like:
Overbite, immaturity, big baby, retarded, smelly fingers, alienation, no friends, school joke, bully's target.

It's odd.
It will also disalign your teeth.
