Biting Your Cheeks

Check these out, too...

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.

Hey girlie, you can do college online but I am pretty sure you cant do middle/high school online. I know you want to stay up late but that isnt healthy. Try to go to bed earlier and you can get up earlier for alone time. As for the hungry part, pack a healthy snack like an apple of graham crackers to get you through to lunch. xo JANA

weird. i do that, but it's not out of stress cuz actually i'm doing it rite now and i have like no stress. its just an old habit, but it never bleeds or anything (why would i bite that hard?) its not really even biting plus it feels funny on my braces lol

One girl I know in class is constantly biting her fingernails to the point where they are almost gone, she may have some bad stress in her life or could it just be a habit? One day I may say something to her about it.
