viciousxpunk answered Saturday June 2 2007, 6:31 pm: there is a special kind of nail polish on the market that you could try using on your nails. it goes on clear, and looks like normal nail polish, but it tastes awful. it can be found in most drug stores, and it works really well. dont forget, studies show that a habit takes 30 days to break, so just push past that 30 days.

holahayley56 answered Saturday June 2 2007, 6:28 pm: no, im pretty sure that you cant get cancer from biting your nails? what queerface said that? and, im not entirely sure of ways you can stop, besides getting a new habit. but, to make them grow, if you go to like target, and go to to the nail polish stuff, theres stuff to make them grow.

mariaa123 answered Saturday June 2 2007, 6:28 pm: hey.
omfg i had the same problem
until my mom couldn't take it anymore
because she said it was annoying
her that i kept on biting my nails lol.
well she bought me this special
nail polish called "Stop the Bite"
and you put it on your nails and if
you bite them, they taste soo bad. literally
they taste like some nasty glue shit haha.
but really, it works. i never
bit my nails again. she bought it at CVS,
but you can get it at walmart or
target. hope this helps! ♥
ElectricLime answered Saturday June 2 2007, 6:23 pm: No, you won't get cancer.. Pssh. & The only way I can think of is to dip your hands in salt water or something so that whenever you bite your nails they'll taste salty. Unless you're into satly foods.. THEN it might make the problem worse.. haha! [ ElectricLime's advice column | Ask ElectricLime A Question ]
