Question 1

Dear Answer Girl,

I bite my nails ALL the time! I try polishing them and putting tabasco sauce on them but it doesn't work. Sometimes I bite them without even knowing. I've been biting them for almost three years. Help!

Dear Bad Biter,

I have struggled with this, also. Try tucking your hands in your pockets, or asking your friends and family to tell you when you are. What I've been doing is keeping small stress balls or bouncy balls around to grab and play with to keep my hands busy when I feel the urge to nibble. P.S: These things take a lot of time. So don't give up the first week, keep working hard!
