I use to believe that if I kept biting my nails they would all fall out. my parents had a friend that somehow did not have any finger nails and they would show me his hands to put the scare in me and say he lost his nails because he wouldn't stop biting them. even though I believed them for some reason it didn't work all that good cause I still was biting them but maybe not as often.
