i used to bite my nails and when i was littler my mom did everything thing imaginable to make me stop(hoy sauce,tape,gloves ect.) but nothing worked! Then my dad told me that if i dont stop i will have to have surgery and get a big scare down my belly button that would be there forever! Then he would say see i used to bite my nails and look what happened to me, then he would lift up his shirt and show me this huge scar under his belly button! i stopped very shortly after! i later learned that that scar was actually from a car accident
