Hi everyone,

I'm wondering whether anyone can help me with something - a good friend of mine bites her nails really really badly, right down so she has no white tips, sometimes a bit more. She even picks at them with a pin sometimes, she says its to get some nail because she just cant stop.

Is it actually as bad a habit as everyone says? Should I try to stop her? Does anyone else here bite their nails and if so how badly? I've been told its really rare for females, is that true?

Anyway, hope someone can help,

Paul.
