Best Answer

nails are a type of modified skin. Nails protect the sensitive tips of fingers and toes. Human nails aren't necessary for living, but they do provide support for the tips of the fingers and toes, protect them from injury, and aid in picking up small objects. Without them, we'd have a hard time scratching an itch or untying a knot. Nails can be an indicator of a person's general health, and illness often affects their growth.

Why wont your nails grow?

Well, usually nails grow 1/8 of an inch every month. Unless you have a medical problem, they do grow. Most people bite their nails, peel them, rip them, or the nails naturally peel off. This is why most people do not get to see the actual results of their nails. So, check some of these things, because people sometime unknowingly bite their nails. If not check more sites and then if it is a big problem you may be able to go to the doctors. (Please do not change first answer.)
