Whenever my nails get long enough, i peel them off with my other hand. I NEVER cut them with scissors. Is this normal?

    It may or may not be normal. But I have always done it, but I regret it. You are slowly receding your nail bed. If it stings, it's because you've removed the nail layer from the bed and it will heal over, not re-adhere to your nail. Now when I cut my nails, the tip of my finger looks too long. Stop before it's too late.

    ohhhh yes i do this all the time! its annoying because sometimes i peel them too short and it stings a bit for a couple of days. if you're looking to stop, one thing that helps for me is if i paint my nails (that is, if you're a girl. but hey if you're a guy and comfortable with it, then why not?) :)

    Wrong... dat isn't normal, you people are WIERD! how da hell can you peel off your nail? and even if you do that, wouldn't that hurt and feel slightly uncomfortable?
    You know there is something called a nail 'clipper' and 'scissors' which are used to cut off things including nails, so why not use it =]
