Try doing something that will negatively reinforce your bad habit, like slapping yourself when you get the urge to bite your nails or wearing a hair elastic around your wrist and snap it each time you put your hand to your mouth. Be conscious of your habit and tell yourself to stop. Hope this helps!

There is something called Bitter Nail. You put it on your nail and when you bite them the taste is really bad

get fake nails- they are too big to bite and it will let your real nails grow.

me too. i bite my nails SO much that there is almost nothing left, i CANNOT stop no matter what. I dunno what is wrong with me. I think u shud think about it before putting your nails in your mouth.

Biting nails, lemme see. I try to tuck my hands under my thighs (If I'm sitting) to keep from bitingthem when I get the urge. Or try doing to a better habit to replace biting nails. Like do a funny smirk or something that might make someone laugh, then there's a habit people like! Just fight with all your power not to, just don't think about and you'll forget to bite your nails.

Perhaps you could wear gloves.

Paint your nails. If you don't want them to be a color, just use clear nail polish. They will be shiny and pretty and you probably won't want to mess them up by biting them. Also just think about how nasty it is because of all the bacteria and microgerms crawling around on them! Yuck!
