Biting Your Cheeks

Got a major urge to bite the inside of your cheek? Stress may be the cause.

Many girls bite their teeth (or nail) when they get anxious. It’s time to talk to a trusted adult or school counselor to ease your anxiety in a healthy way, explains Dr. Susan S. Bartell, a New York City psychologist.
Once you’ve gotten to the root of your stress, you can nix the cheek-chomping. If you just can’t stop, ask to see a therapist.

We want to hear from you! Send us your weirdest body questions here (seriously, we'll answer anything!) and it just might get featured.
