I've tried wearing gloves, putting chili pepper on them. But everytime I get upset I chew them down to nothing, they bleed & I even chew the skin when the nails are gone. HELP!!

This sounds gross but it worked for me. I went to a funeral home & got some formaldahide. I soaked my fingertips in it for a few minutes per day.
If you can't get it from a funeral home, try ebay.

ive been doing this for years and if you can find a good answer please tell me. i've tried buying nailpolish stuff called "bite no more" but you have to keep reapplying it or it will wear off. i also sort of got used to the taste which wasnt good. actually i've noticed i dont bite my nails when i'm busy and with other people, like while on vacation. when i'm alone however i think too much and worry and dont even realize i'm biting my nails until its too late. so maybe if you are busy and around people almost none stop for a week, you're nails will have grown a bit and you wont want to ruin them. i'd also recommened throwing the bite no more polish into that mix. good luck

Yes, chew gum! I used to chew my nails and they became very soft. So then I started chewing gum and I usually dont do it. Another trick I tried that works it wearing nail polish. I used black, and everytime I went to chew I noticed the polish. I also aplied it thick so it was hard to break through.
I also noticed that nail polish remover tastes disgusting, but Im sure that will wear off fast, but hey, its worth a try!

your biting your nail? maybe because your very bored try to get busy. try to use your time in a sense that you will forget biting your nails. instead of biting them try to buy chewing gums maybe it could help!! if this does not work try some more foods that can be chewed..

Buy some nail polish that tastes bitter when you try to bite your nails. It tastes real nasty for a long time and will make you regret ever bitting your nails.

get acrylic nails...keep them for a year, which will curb your desire to bite them and you can then go back to natural, unless you end up liking the fake ones...
