I knew a girl once who sucked her thumb in college!. She was beautiful and perfectly normal and now has a great husband and three beautiful children!. I don't know when she gave it up or if she still relies on her thumb for comfort at times!. Just be prepared for some jokes at your expense once you get to college!. i think the woman I'm thinking of had to curtail her habit in college because some of the other girls found out and made fun of her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i think you should quit its a bad - not mention fairly embarassing habit!. I sucked my thumb untill i was twelve and got hell for it at sleepovers!. It also did eventually mess up my teeth and i finally am done with braces after 3 years!. I no its comforting but try sleeping with a stuffed animal or something as a comfort instead!.
btw!.!.!. it was really hard to quit!.!. finally someone told me to tie a popsicle stick to my thumb at nite so i couldnt suck it!. It helped and i stopped after about a month!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that's kinda babyish, but hey, whatever makes you happy!. Belive me, in college there are people doing things for comfort that are a lot worse than sucking their thumbs, if you know what I mean!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
