biting nails


Question Posted Saturday August 14 2004, 9:36 pm

I am always biting my nails all the time. I have tried fake nails. But I cant have them on because I play so many sports. Is there a way I can stop? I do it even when I dont realize I am doing it. I also know its not healthy at all. Any tips will be helpful... thank you!

This hits close to home! I tried having rubber-bands or hair-ties on my wrists to play with those, I wore rings...

But eventually, what got me to stop is that it just made my handa look so ugly, and it hurt. Also, I thought that maybe guys wouldn't like me because my nails were so short.

It takes time - and it could all be in your head.

Good luck & if you need anymore advice you know where to get it! =)

Get that nail polish that tastes really bad. Or you could just put nail polish remover on them in the morning, but I doubt that's too great for your nails. Orrr go + get a cute manicure so you won't want to bite them because you'll ruin it.

Maybe you could try and put nail polish on it, or nail polish remover. I heard that there was some sort of bitter tasting stuff that was made for people who bite their nails. I dont know where you could find it at. But I would try nailpolish remover on it. Hope I could help, rate me if you want!

There are many things you could do.
1) Get a pretty manicure, it'll look so good you won't want to ruin it with your teeth!
2) Keep your hands busy! Bounce a ball, or a yoyo.
3) Wear gloves (but honestly, who really DOES wear gloves in summer?)
4) Dip your fingers in tabasco sauce
5) Go to the pharmacist and ask them for a special bad tasting nail polish made for people with a nail biting problem. Good Luck.
