when your just sitting down keep your hands away from your mouth cuz when they are by your mouth ppl tend to bite there nails or whatever so try and keep them away.and when those kids walk by u just ignore them and look the other way like u werent even listening. it should work. Hope it helps!!!

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..

hope i helped <3

well this may sound really stupid but every time you suck it you have to give a family member a quarter. it works trust me. that is how i stopped sucking my hair ( ew ) when i was like 6.
hope i helped!! goodluck!!

Buy a whole bunch of suckers and suck on those instead! or learn yoga and learn how to suck your ow......umm...stick with the suckers and use those instead of your thumb. Good luck!

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.

When your just around your house, you can stick glue or playdoh on it..or nailpolish remover just so when you try it it tastes gross...When your in public sit on your hands orput them in between your legs
