I havent really found out a reason because acrylic nails dont work eventually they fall off ur nails grow and ur thrilled so u start biting agian?i try to keep my self occupied cus i know in the summer im always doing sumthing im never really nervous so i never think about biting them. Chew gum try to forget about them.

The faster you stop biting them, the better. It really depends on what type of person you are- there's many ways to stop. I had to try a number of ways before I stoped.
~I caried around a nail file, which works for some people, unless you are really unorganized and can't seem to find it.
~I painted my nailes for a 'distraction' factor. It looks really bad but if you don't want to bite into a layer of toxic chemical and nail at the same time it works.
~Wear fake nails or gloves.
~have a peice of clay or silly putty to CONSTANTLY be busy with.
~This one worked for me: I covered the tops of my fingers in bandages and tape. Do it neatly to spare embarrament.
Anyway, it'll take a long time to stop biting them. So take your time and try each of these untill you stop.

I bite my nails as well. I am 32 years old and have this habit all my life. I went to the nail artist and had acrylic nails put on. Its a little expense in your life but they are too hard to bite off and they look soooo pretty.

Try to chew on gum and regularly clip your nail. I have that habit too, and i understand the uncomfortable feeling if you have a little bit of longer nail, and the fun of biting it. Try not to think about it, and if you feel uncomfortable, try use the clipper.

a bad habit you just need to break like lots of habits ,put something on them that taste bad to remind you every time you bite,maybe even nail polish will help , and biting nails will be bad for your teeth too,good luck

generally the solution is to put a foul-tasting liquid on yoru nails so that when you go to put them in your mouth, the sour taste will stop you.
There are medical treatments like this for thumb-sucking.
