Tips to quit nail biting?

my friend is a nail biter to the extreme. And its not just nail biting, she bites the skin around her nail too. I gently but firmly slap her hand away every time I catch her at it because it annoys the hell out of me but as soon as I slap her hand away its right back in her mouth! I have tried grossing her out by saying stuff about the germs shes putting in her mouth, that its bad for her teeth, that it just plain makes her fingers look ugly but SHE DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE!! one minute shes saying "oh, I wish I could quit biting my fingers" and the next CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP!!!! we keep getting in fights over it and I hate it when that happens! I love her to death but oh-my-gawd if she doesn't stop, i am going to chop off her hands!





(sometimes she even bites the fingerprint part, her fingers are so bad and raw-skinned because of her constant biting!)


PLUS we're in junior high so there are alot of germs around us and I dont want her to get an infection, which is inevitable if she dont quit!

Tips to quit nail biting?
Simple, but hard work: It just takes constant willpower to stop biting your nails. You need to be aware of each time that you feel like biting your nails, and figure out in that situation something else you can do instead. For example, each time that you feel like biting your nails, take out a nail file and just gently smooth the edge of the nail, and the urge will pass. Also, make sure you are using hand lotion after each time you wash your hands, which will keep your hands and nails moisturized. You should generally keep your nail edges filed smooth, so that there are no little bits that are tempting to start to bite, and there are no rough parts that will snag on things or break off. After a couple of days you will start to see the difference in the health of your nails, and then you just have to keep at it every day. After about 2 months of not biting your nails, that actually becomes your new habit, and you just have to stay on top of those situations where you want to go back to the comfort of the habit of biting and keep dealing with it.
