First of all cracking your knuckles isn't your bones grinding together, it is air being released from between your knuckles

And yes, cracking your knuckles is bad for you because it damages your ligaments and it erodes the cushion between your fingers which will hurt you. The safe way to crack your knucles is pull at them until they crack.

I used to also crack my knuckles all the time so at first it is hard but later it will not be botherish.

After doing it for awhile, your knuckles may enlarge in size. It's known to bring you Arthritis when you get older in age. Some think neither are true, but after i did it for awhile my two knuckles that I cracked on both hands are bigger than they were before the habit. Other than that it shouldn't be that much of a problem.
