Probably.

no my cousin is 10 and still does it and is not normal. Its definitely not normal for a 13 year old to do it. he'll probably stop when the kids at school make fun of him for doing that!

he can get intestinal worms from doing that. Eggs can be in the dirt and if he doesn't wash his hands he will ingest them. You should probably talk to a child psycologist about that.

did he really suck his thumb in front of you???? Because my cousin when he sleeps, he doesn't know that he sucks his thumb...His mom walked in to check on him and saw it. But when she asked he said he didn't... Sometimes when kids sleep, they dont know what they are doing... try to tell him about it..he might stop...my cousin stopped when his mom talked to him about it...he feel embarrassing...

Well I think its kewl... but then again... I'm no expert... Dr. Phin had a nice lady on his show yesterday that still sucks her thumb... and shes like about 30...
As for me... I sucked my thumb til i was about 28. It's hard to explain to a girlfriend... but safety come frist! and its just another copeing skill this kid has to get him/her threw.

There's a movie that came out last year called Thumbsucker, about a 17 or 18 year old kid that sucks his thumb, and how his parents and orthodontist pressure him to stop. You'll probably feel a little bit better about your kid's thumb sucking if you see the movie. It's a normal thing, but it might affect the shape of his teeth and jaw if he does it a lot. The comment about intestinal worms sounds like BS. Your kid is 13 years old, so he's probably old enough that the thumbsucking is his problem and not yours. How he feels about sucking his thumb is more important than how you feel about it. It's normal and understandable.

no actually it's quite true, the same goes for nail biters, or people who don't wash their hands before they eat. They are called pin worms.

Yeah. It's a comfort thing, like biting your nails and smoking.

I'm 22 and I still suck my thumb - it's fine

Maybe he's gay and is compensating. Why else would a dude suck his thumb beyond the age of 5? Think about it, it's definately psychological. Watch him around guys.

i sucked my thumb till i was 9 and the adcvice i can give you is use a mouth gard or that yucky tasting stuff on your nails (DOUBLE COAT IT, i use to suck the yucky stuff off!) lol try and if that doesnt work ask your dentist if there is anything else!

im 16 and i still sometimes suck my thumb!
mainly when im tierd tho!
but yes it is normal lol! x

I did when I was younger, until around age 10 or so, and it fucked my teeth all up, as well as how my jaw was set. It was expensive as hell to fix.

People who I know that suck their thumbs have buck teeth, or something wrong with their front teeth. This girl I know has a big groove in her front teeth and her thumb nail is grey. You should put something fowl tasting on his thumb so he wont suck on it. I think they sell something for that.

no that is not i dont think i have ever even done that tell ur kid to stop it

hey i have great news darkside is no longer the biggest cunt ever ur son is!!!!!!! u fucking loser how did you raise him so bad loser

the post somebody put about worms is fuckin stupid. i bite my nails all day every day and im sure that there has to be some dirt under there sometimes yet i have had no problem.

but if this is normal i am not sure... but i cant really see how it is bad.. although i am not an expert
