Answers:
Here's what you do: Get fake nails put on until they grow out!. When they grow out, get a manicure so you won't want to bite them to mess it up!. As for chewing, i recommend just chewing gum all the time!. That should solve your problem!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I was a nail biter about 6 months ago (I'm 14)!. The way I stopped is to put on regular nail polish, because then if I went to bite them, I wouldn't want to have nail polish chips in my mouth, and I wouldn't want it to look bad!. If that doesn't work, you can get special bitter nail polish, it's different becuase when you go to bite them, you taste the gross bitter taste!.!.and it makes you not want to bite them!. Other than those two things, find stuff to do involving your hands to keep you distracted from biting!. Oh yeah, and if your parents let you, you can get fake nails, those were also what helped me a lot!

start by keeping a note pad handy and doodle= maybe hypnotherapy== remember allot of the stuff your chewing on has some sort of toxin in it== think about your liver, your teeth and a smile you can grow old with===after your 20's 30' 40's 50' and 60's of course==Www@Answer-Health@Com
I was able to quit when given the advice from a former nail biter: Carry around with you at all times a nail file!. Whevever you come across a rough fingernail just file it smooth!. It works! Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
