What is wrong with me? I am eating all kinds of really odd things that you aren't supposed to eat.
I ate my hair when I was a child along with things such as dirt, paper, glue ect. Now I have started To eat things such as scabs, finger nails, and continue to eat paper along with other things such as chalk, bath salt, soap ect I am a picky eater with regular foods but I enjoy trying stuff that is not supposed to be eaten. What's Wrong With Me?

I agree with Razhie. You need to set an appointment with your doctor.

It's called Pica. It's an eating disorder and it can be a sign of vitamin deficincies.
It can also harm you, damage your throat and stomach or cause other health problems in the long term.
So, you should see a doctor and make sure that your bizarre appitates aren't linked to you not getting the nutrients you need to survive or some other medical problem. Once you've been checked out for any psychical problems, you might want or need a referral to a mental health professional to help you curb this behaviour.

That sounds pretty weird, I have a habit of biting my nails like everyday yeah it's nit a good thing nor it's healthy as well but what your saying just sounds odd. I think you should tell your parents to take you to the doctors or to see a specialist?
Is there anything that is bothering you at the moment?
If anything you can write back to me :)
hope i could help
