Plants can not feel pain
Plants can react to stimuli, but they have no central nervous system, so they cannot feel pain.
Studies have been done on plants by reputable sources e.g. The Smithsonian, but they have merely showed plants reacting to sunlight, drugs, and various stimuli.
There are no peer-reviewed studies showing that plants are conscious in any way or that they can feel pain. No credible scientific groups have published papers to this effect.
Unlike almost every animal, plants are not sentient.
Many people say that plants feel pain as an excuse to continue eating animals. However, more plants are killed to satisfy a carnist diet than a vegan diet, so even if it were true that plants can feel pain, the argument still makes no sense.
* Plant Brain: Each root apex harbours a unit of nervous system of plants. The number of root apices in the plant body is high and all brain-units are interconnected via vascular strands (plant nerves) with their polarly-transported auxin (plant neurotransmitter), to form a serial (parallel) nervous system of plants. The computational and informational capacity of this nervous system based on interconnected parallel units is predicted to be higher than that of the diffuse nervous system of lower animals, or the central nervous system of higher animals/humans.

Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose conducted a number of experiments that suggest plants do feel pain.
Sir J D Bose demonstrated the pulsatory activity in plants. Since there is no nervous system, it is generally believed that plants do not feel pain when cut. Infact pruning makes the plant more bushy and leafy with greater adaptability.
Plants do not feel pain, and there is no credible scientific evidence to the contrary. Plants lack the sensory organs and nerves to receive painful stimuli, and they lack a central nervous system to perceive pain and react to it. In addition, organisms do not evolve complex responses to stimuli unless there is an evolutionary advantage to them to do so. Because plants are unable to move away from a painful stimulus, there is no evolutionary advantage to them to develop the ability to perceive pain.
They can't.
Sentience is the capacity to feel, perceive, or experience subjectively. Although plants can react to stimuli, these reactions do not constitute sentience because plants lack pain receptors, sensory organs, and a central nervous system to process sensations. Animals are able to consciously perceive their environment and consciously respond with many different behaviors to it. Plants lack this variability of response, in that they will react in the same manner regardless of different scenarios. For example, they will grow towards a light source whether they are outdoors and reacting to the path of the sun or indoors reacting to a stationary window or electric light bulb.
Animals have evolved sentience because pain can help them to avoid harmful stimuli and pleasure can help them to seek and find beneficial stimuli. Plants have not evolved sentience because it doesn’t benefit them. Plants have no way to move away from drought, deluge, heat, or cold.
No.

my balls here.
Hair does not feel pain when cut, as it lacks a nervous system. However, the hair follicle and surrounding skin may experience pain if cut during the process.
No, bacteria do not have a nervous system or a brain, so they cannot feel pain as animals do. When bacteria die, they do not experience sensations or emotions.
Your hair and fingernails do not have nerves, so you can cut or clip them without pain. If you clip your nails back too far, there are nerves in the flesh underneath the nails that can cause pain. The top layers of the epidermis can take shallow cuts and scratches with little to no pain. This layer is very thin. It is what peels off when you get a sunburn.
I seriously doubt it.
You do not feel pain when you cut your nails because your nails do not contain any nerves that can cause pain.
We cut or selves because we want to controll the pain we feel. we figure if we cut at least we can contoll it. deep inside we feel pain and aloneness.And the only thing we can controll is the pain we bring to or self
Pain is caused when nerve endings are exposed - they signal to the brain that there is damage to the skin and tissue, and we feel that as pain.

hair; nail
We dont feel pain on cutting our nails because nails are formed my the accumulation of dead cells.
It is great that you are not having any pain. However, you should have the cut cleaned, covered and stitched if needed, so that you don't develop an infection and so that it heals cleanly.
Hair is dead. Only alive at the roots; hence you pull out your hair and it hurts, but you cut it and feel nothing
When you take a sharp object and make cuts or break skin on your wrist in order to feel the pain...
The three things in the human body that do not have nerve endings to feel pain are nails, hair, and the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). These structures are made up of non-living cells and do not contain pain receptors, so they do not feel pain when cut or damaged.
I felt an excruciating pain when my elbow went through that pane of glass.
