thebestiveeverhad answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 10:03 am: well i used to have this same problem..when i was six that was my first time ever going to the dentist...and they said i needed braces...because i sucked my thumb ... so they told me i needed to stop..well i remember i never did it in public so whenever one of my family members left the house i went with them so i wouldn't do it.. but when i was really little my mom tried putting this gross stuff on it but it didnt work because i just sucked the other thumb in my room... so if you just stop doing it in public eventually you will only do it at home when no one is there to mak fun of you and then you can get into the habit of not doing it at all... because i dont. so you can stop..

jean_nicole answered Sunday August 21 2005, 3:33 pm: Put like nail polish remover or something really nasty on your thumb. So when you go to suck it it will taste nasty and you wont want to do it anymore. [ jean_nicole's advice column | Ask jean_nicole A Question ]
