When I was 10 1/2 (still am now.) My mom' and dad tried to get me to stop bitting my nails.They tried "no one will like you if u keep biting your nails,Miley!" remark. they even tried "if u keep bitting ur fingers, you will be hurting little faries under there that help ur nail grow" I didn't belive in fairies at that time.so they made me get a lower retainer.I do not bite them anymore!
