Answers:
Sounds like sucking your thumb gives you the comfort and security you need. I stop sucking my thumb when i was around 9, but i cant deny that at times it does feels good when i suck the tip of my thumb again at night, maybe it brings me back to the time where everything seems in place, nice and secure. I'm not sure about the effect on your teeth though, you might want to inquire it further with a dentist or your personal doctor.
Take care and don't stress yourself too much on the little things in life. I know it's hard not to, but like sand in your shoes, it irritates you, continue walking with it and you'll end up with sore feet. Take your shoes off and brush it away. Health Question & Answer

Yes, it is bad. You should have been out of that nasty habit by the time you were 7 or 8. There is no need for a 15 year old to do this type of thing And people, please stop trying to make it sound as though this is normal behavior. It is NOT. That is a big problem today. Anything and everything is perfectly fine to do. Everyone si s scared of telling the truth. Can't offend anyone - remember that ALWAYS. The kid is 15 years old and STILL sucking his thumb, and others say "That is OH to do. There is nothing wrong with it. Yes there is! It's time to grow up. Adults do NOT suck their thumb. I suspect much deeper issues going on here.Health Question & Answer
