I have bitten my nails since I was a little kid and can't stop. I have tried all the different things a person can put on their nails that is supposed to make a person stop biting them but none of it works. Any help?

I would try to understand why you do it first. Are you someone who needs something in their mouth? Would gum or other oral fixation things work for you? Or are you stressed? Could knitting or doing something with your hands work? How about relaxation techniques... Before you can stop a behaviour you need to find something that meets those same needs and that you can replace the nail biting with. I hope this helps.

I use to bite my nails bad till they bleed. It is hard to stop but I did this I super glued fake nails on and trust me they hurt when you pull them off, Then when I wanted to chew my nails I put gum or some kind of candy in my mouth, I put diamonds on my fingers and with no nails they looked gross with nails they are beautiful, and I heard nails is the nastiest part of your body all the germs in your nails goes in your mouth and I always pictured these little itty bitty bugs. I know it sounds funny but it worked. Now I have nails and I treasure them. Now when you start to grow them they will be paper thin trust me. I took gelatin pills and they make your nails stronger. And always wear finger nail polish. If you wear nails with super glue don't do it often. Good luck

try to occupy yourself with something else when you feel the urge to bite your nails . You might have a nervous condition . Check with your doctor to conclude this out . Other than that i'd say get a good hobby that will involve you , so you forget about biting your nails

I have the same prob and it sucks being a girl b/c your nails always look crappy. Anywho I would try chewing gum or keeping yourself occupied with other things that involve your hands so you don;t get bored and start knawing.

put electric wires on your nipples and when u bite them, u spark yourself. Kinky ....but i gaurantee a couple of shocks and that habit will be further gone than a christmas present from 1970
