I actually have four scars (I never realized I had that much until writing this post) – three caused by accidents and one because of surgery, if you can even call it that since it was such a small surgery.
I’ll start with one of the accidental scars first. I was in my high school where they have these two giant, massive, annoying swinging doors. I was carrying some books (as expected) and tried to shove one of the swinging doors open with my foot, with no success. Therefore, I used my arm to help shove the door open and to my dismay, the door somehow made a deep cut on my lower arm. I was freaked out on how deep the cut was and innocent me didn’t realize that it would eventually scar. Thank goodness the cut wasn’t long, but it is REALLY deep. You can easily tell from my scar.
The two other accidental scars of mine was caused by the same accident. I was in fifth grade and was riding my bike in the park, wearing a long skirt. BIG mistake. My skirt somehow got tangled up in my bike, resulting in a nasty fall. There was blood all over me when I fell – I skinned my knees, my elbows, my fingers, and my chin (I fell on my chin). To make matters even worse, I had school the very next day. I had to walk home all bloodied up with people staring at me as I passed by. As a result of that bike incident, I have a lasting scar on the bottom of my chin (thank goodness it’s not in the front where everyone can see it) and on my left middle finger.
The last scar I obtained was from a small “surgery” that done to me. When I was in fifth grade, there was a slight bump found on my leg and worried, my parents wanted surgery done on me to check what it was. For some reason, the doctors didn’t put me to sleep and did surgery on my leg while I was WIDE AWAKE. To prevent me from screaming and crying and moaning, my dad was next to me, talking to me and trying to distract me from what the doctors were doing to my leg. He promised me ice cream, trips, you know, all the things a fifth grader could ever want. He never fulfilled the ice cream promise though.
I STILL WANT THAT ICE CREAM DAD.
But yeah, that surgery left a slight scar on my leg. It’s almost faded now, but it’s still there.
How about you guys? Do you have any scars? I want to know!
got a recent scar on my left knee while riding a motorbike with my bff…i was the passenger and we collided with an SUV…thankfully our helmet were a lot of help and got no other major injuries aside from the scar on my left knee and that was a year ago. And i got a major scar on the right side of my abdomen from a surgery years ago due to acute appendicitis (that was a very painful & agonizing experience!) a few months after i turned 18.
You were AWAKE? Oh man… that is not good. It’s cool that your dad was able to calm you down a little. I have a number of scars including 1 majooooor surgery.

It takes forever for me to heal, but oddly enough, I rarely scar. The only scars I have is this mysterious one on my arm. It’s a scratch from somewhere, probably one of my dogs got too excited one day, but I have no memory on how I got it. The other one is a very tiny mark on one of my fingers from the time my gerbil bit me when I was 8. I had two gerbils at the time who hated each other and we would sometimes try to put them in the same cage to see if they could get along (it was very annoying that we had two separate cages). The two gerbils started to lunge at one another, so my mom and I both reached a hand in to grab a gerbil, both of us getting bit. Though, the bites were meant for the other gerbil.
Anyway, those are the only scars I have.

Doors in high school are a serious danger. They cause me bodily harm everyday, they always swing into me. Luckily, no scars from them yet. Though I do have a scar on my elbow from tube sledding when I slid into a boy who was holding a metal shovel. I also have one on my hand from getting clawed in literally the first 10 seconds of a basketball. It’s the smallest thing, but it bled for eternity.
Scary! The last scar I got was on my right big toe. It hurt like hell and I got it from trying to open a door WHILE BEINGS BAREFOOT. Big mistake. It happened in yoga class and I regret not being more careful. A lot of people saw me crying… lol
I have a few scars on the back of my hand because i’m in sixth grade and boys are mean with their words… [yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking of] Stupid me thought that the back of the hand [where everyone can see] would be a good place. Like, now they’re so faint that the only person who notices them is me which i guess works in my favor.
I also have scars on my legs from mosquito bites because i used to pick scabs. ugh.
and oh my god, who does surgery while you’re wide awake????? like what even???

I have a few scars on my legs. There’s a small one above my knee where I burned myself with a hot glue gun when I was seven. There’s one near the top of my calf from when I was in elementary school; I was sitting on the handle bars of my mom’s bike and I let my legs dangle down. My foot hit the wheel which spun, getting my leg got stuck in it. My dad had to take the wheel apart to get my leg out. There are scars on each of my knees from falling during a tennis match freshman year. There’s also a tiny but permanent scar on my eyelid from when I hit my head on the corner of a table when I was a baby (my grandma is still mad at the babysitter to this day)..

I also have 4. 2 chicken pox scars, one under my chin and one on my stomach. A small one on my knee from a fall when I was a kid. And a big on on my right thigh from a few years ago when I was cut on a piece of metal. The cut was jagged, 5 inches long and at least an inch deep. 20 stitches and a tetanus shot later…..scar

I have a bunch of scars because I am so so clumsy. But I also had one surgery – I fell on a rock and split my knee to the bone (yummmm :P) and had to have it operated. I was also wide awake, no anesthesia or anything, so I was in fact screaming my lungs out through half the hospital. I was about 11 or so. I think people thought someone was being murdered. :L I did get some ice cream tho :D
