This is one area that peer pressure could do some good.
Notice how your peers get disgusted with the look of your nails or an attractive person became not interested in talking with you. Are you embarrassed by your finger nails to offer a hand shake or participate in activities that people might see your finger nails? Oh.. unless you are the type who still takes his teddy bear or blanky to school.

I used to have a problem with this, too. Sometimes it's just a matter of not wanting to bite them anymore. Some suggest putting something under your nails so it tastes nasty, but that's a bit extreme. Just take to chewing on something already such as gum or a toothpick; be sure to keep up on trimming your nails regularly, too (that way you won't be tempted to bite them off).

Nail biting is a manifestation of a deeper bent-up emotion. Your oral fixation stems from earlier moments in your life. As a baby, you never received the physical intimacy and emotional satisfaction of your mother's breast. You punish her mammary by biting yourself. Until you come to terms with your resentment and on-going need, you will never stop biting those nipples; I mean fingernails. Good Luck!

My mom gave me $30 to go 30 days without biting my nails when I was younger. If I ever started doing it again, I would have to pay her back. I have never had to.

There is a bitter, transparent nail polish that you can put on everyday and you would'nt want to bite them anymore, believe me.

i heard that if you put this nasty tasting nail polish on them, that it will make you stop. Oh and if you are a girl, then get your nail done with acrylic. Good Luck!

Dip them in bug spray. Just like bugs, you'll hate the taste. Do it every day in the morning, so whenever u feel like biting....promise me it will bite back!

scratch your a$$ before you think of biting your nails that would make even the worst nail biter quit

Put chili on your nails and that will burn when you bite down. Or wear gloves.

Get a french manicure. You'll basically be wasting your money every bite (financial incentive)
