For crying out loud, there's nothing wrong with chewing on anything as long as you don't feel bad 'bout it. I'm 47 and I chew on things. Maybe it's a nervous habit or it well better be a diversion for smoking cigs. Or if you're really into what I have to say: could be that you are holding back on what YOU may want/need to say to someone. Be sure you are up front with everyone (esp. your parents) about what you need in your life. And trust them.

Stop. It can screw up your teeth. I did that when I was little and my teeth were getting pushed out forward and I was gunna need braces. Luckily, though, I stopped and they started going back in their place and I didn't need the braces for them.
So NO. Don't do it.
Just stop.. get gum or something to occupy your mouth.

You have what is called an oral fixation It's perfectly normal. Even adults have these. You should try to stop just so you don't hurt your teeth and gums. Hope i helped

Yes it is a bad habit. You have to teach yourself to stop doing it. Talk to your doctor, ot dentist.

It can warp your teeth pretty bad.
You want to wear braces, keep doing it.
