I've sucked my thumb for my entire life, and still do now. When I was like 7 or 8, an older friend who was maybe fifteen told me that she sucked her thumb a lot and it shrunk. She showed me too, but later on, (still sucking) i realized that it is very easy to just make your thumb go higher or lower than the other one when you compare them side by side. (ps im 14 have a nose ring and still suck my thumb!!!)
