Is this still normal for my age?!


Question: Is this still normal for my age?
I just turned 11 yrs old and i still suck my thumb.
Yes this is really weird but its a habit!
is it normal? :(

Answers:

It's not deadly or anything but I would try not to. Maybe put your thumb(s) in lemon juice and then it would taste bad so you wouldn't want to.

If you have a cut or something on your thumbs it might sting.



It's unhealthy, as you pick up germs on your hands that can make you pretty sick, and you're sticking them in your mouth. Also, it can alter the way your teeth come in. Most people who suck their thumbs stop by your age stop naturally, so it's usually not an issue, but if you're still doing it, you should do your absolute best to quit.



i guess its okay as long as you dont do it in front of others all the time
