Update; biting fingernails?!?!?

Hello;)

First of all, apologies for not posting as often as is possible, I've been very busy;D

So, this is what I've been up to;

I am a nail biter. I know, it's a disgusting habit, blah blah blah, whatever.
Anyway, I've decided to stop my nail biting.

I've bitten my nails since I can remember; and I think it had something to do with my older sister doing it, so I copied her, and also through boredom, it gave me something to do whilst not listening in class(;

Now my nails are awful, break, and just look terrible.

I've decided to look online for ideas on how to stop, and came up with these;

-Getting a bitter-tasting nail polish etc to put on your nails.
-Find something that preoccupies you, i.e chewing gum.
-Paint your nails, to stop you absent mindedly chewing.
-Get a manicure, as it strengths nails, makes them look nice, and gives you a reason to stop chewing.

The only thing that annoys me is when people comment on your nails.
For example, I remember about two or so years ago, I was at a friends house with some other friends, and they were painting their nails. I said I didn't want to paint mine, because my nails don't look very nice, and a friend said 'No, they don't really, do they? Sorry, but you know.' I was just like... Yes?I know that? I just said that myself, I don't need you to point it out for me. Also, people tell me, 'Don't bite your nails, it's a bad habit.' As I said before, people, I know my fingernails look skanky, don't need to be told.

If you have any ideas or tips on how to stop biting nails, or, like me, bite your nails and want to stop, please comment below and tell me what you think(:

Thanks(;
