Ok I have this very disgusting habit of chewing on things. It started out innocently by chewing on my hair, pencils but now it has progressed to almost everthing. I chew on the strings on my clothes. Drinking straws, Ive chewed through a few pencils and exploded a few pens. I'm not a druggie or anything but idk why i do it. Its like a nervous habit but it is really gross..any ideas on how to stop?

I've had so many pens explode in my mouth and by the end of the school day my pencils are almost gone and I know its really gross... but i havent really thought of a way to *stop*....you could always check gum or try chewing on something that wont get ruinned like hahaa chew on your finger ( not your nail, mind you). and if you can't stop make a joke about it... everytime somone says something just laugh and say i know its a tick i have... dont make fun of me or ill have to chew you too! thats what i do... people are bound to leave you alone sooner or later [ missweiner's advice column | Ask missweiner A Question ]

shescreams33 answered Monday May 2 2005, 7:42 am: you could chew gum whenever you get nervous and feel like you need to chew on something. you could also not chew on pens that not a really good idea, maybe chew on foodstuffs like beef jercky or laughy taffy or now and laters, things that are better to chew then pens {and taste better to} pleze rate

ShYbl0nD3 answered Sunday May 1 2005, 9:28 pm: well maybe you should try chewing on gum just so you dont get poisoned by the ink and stuff. How to stop? well... destract yourself with something else... but chewing gum i say would help. so try that for a while.
good luck
