how can i sop biting my nails?

Question

im a 13 year old boy

Answer 1

I had the same problem a couple years ago when a friend suggested that I use this special clear nail polish.What it does is makes it so your nails taste really bad so you wont want to chew them. It's really hard to get off which may be annoying, but in the end it's a good thing. After using it for a couple weeks, I just stopped trying to bite my nails. This nail polish is really cheap and they sell it at many drugstores and walmart. I guarantee this will work.

Answer 2

Well if you're adventurous wear masculine nail polish, such as black. But if you're not so adventurous try clear nail polish (no one would notice), if you have that on there you'd be less likely to bite because it wont taste good. Also, if you're really desperate put band aids around your fingertips. That's what I had to do because I couldn't stop picking at my cuticles.
Also, you're going to want to ask your mom or sister or someone to pick out a really nice hand cream. The better your nails are moisturized the less likely you'll have hangnails or breaks.

Answer 3

well you can try these things, it works even if it's a little messy..lol

try rubbing onions under your nails, garlic works too, or clear polish add a little jalapeno juice in it, and paint your nails with it. Every time you want to put it in your mouth, it will taste nasty. So eventually you'll stop doing it.

OR wear gloves..lol

Answer 4

It is most likely an addiction and/or sign of nervousness, have you tried a starting a slightly more addictive, yet harmless, habit that, such as, drawing.

Besides, my science teacher told me that eating your nails will turn your tummy blue and cut through it.

Answer 5

Put something on them that would prevent you from biting them, like a flavor that you don't like the taste of or something bitter.

Answer 6

But some hot sauce on your nails or somethin spicy that
what I did to my brother.

Answer 7

There are creams that you apply on your nails that taste really bitter

Answer 8

Just think about all the diseases that you can get in not only your fingers, but also your mouth...

Also think about everything that you touch in a day and then don't wash your hands, then put all the things that you touched in your mouth...
