When ur nails start to grow cut them.
I think this has to do more with self control than it does have to do with anything else, especially for someone who has been biting their nails for so long. Supposedly, if you swallow the bits that you bite off those little bits can slice thru your lower intestines and as the blood leaks into your fecal matter this causes an infection which shows up in your stool. (i.e. little worms floating around in the toilet is a clear sign of this!)





If you say that you don't swallow them then consider the reality that over time as you bite your nails every little bit that gets bitten off, a percentage of all of those little bits will end up going down your throat inevitably. Even if it is a number that is far below what you actually ';spit out'; you are still swallowing something and this is still disgustingly unhealthy, which over time can lead to intestinal tract infections, which, if you ever plan on having children, can actually be life threatening to the child(ren) that you become pregnant with.





Another thing to consider is that as you stick your fingertips in your mouth to bite the nails, you will be inevitably putting germs in your mouth which can contribute to cold sores, stomach viruses, the flu, etc., which can also be dangerous for a pregnant mother. If all else fails see a mental health specialist of some sort to help you work thru this disgusting habit.





(I really hope you are a female! That is the impression that you left me with. Probably bc guys tend to overlook gross habits like this, either bc they just don't notice it or bc they don't mind bc men typically don't throw rocks %26amp; live in glass houses, women usually do that; and also perhaps in part bc women who are afflicted with these gross habits hide it better than men who probably wouldn't notice it anyway if it was out in the open!)
wear fake nail til yur real ones grow(:


when i wore them,


it actually stopped my habit(:
paint your nails a really pretty color

hi i am 13 and i bite my nails some times(im doing that now). a good idea (this has helped my friend a lot)is to discipline yourself(this only works if you live with someone) if you live with your husband to be,go to the drug store and buy yourself a couple of hot nail shades then, when you get them, give them to him and tell him to give you a different shade every time your nails grow longer without you biting them.Hm. i think ill try that.
