How did you get your scar or scars?


1. I think I was in 3rd grade. We were in the playground for recess and were playing Dodgeball. Fred Beesinger threw the ball at me, I dodged right, hit my head on a brick column on my right, bounced off, did a 3/4 spin to my left and started to bend over in pain and hit my eyebrow on the edge of a window ledge which cut my eyebrow open. I think I had to get 6 stitches.
2. A few years later, one Sunday afternoon, I was on my way to the A&P 3 blocks away to get a nickel for returning an empty pop bottle to them. I decided to take Fluff (grandma's dog) with me. Around the front yard, dad installed a pipe railing about shin-high around the edge of the grass so we'd stop riding our bikes through there. We'd still walk through there or balance on the pipe as long as we could. Just as I walked off the porch with the dog and the bottle, mom yelled that the store was closed on Sunday but, I just figured I'd still go to take Fluff for a walk. i got to the edge of the yard and jumped over the pipe. Fluff decided to squeeze under and, as I landed, I landed on her and fell off, breaking the bottle on the sidewalk which sliced open my left hand in the shape of a big 7! I had to get 16 stitches. That's the only one that is still very obvious.
3. A few years later on July 4th, I was speeding through the alley on a bike half a block from my house when some kid in a "hidden" back yard ran out into the alley for some reason! I clipped him with my handlebars and went flying on the brick road where a LOT of cinders were lying loose!! They tore a hole into my knee so deep you could almost see bone!! It was at least the size of a quarter. I couldn't get stitches because it was so big so, they just had to keep filling the hole with gauze every day or so as it healed itself shut. There used to be a huge pink spot on that knee but, now, I can hardly see anything of it. There IS still a black spot from one of the cinders.
4. Feb. 22nd, 1984. It's about 10:00 at night, I was just up at the mall hanging out and was on my way home (on foot) to get ready to go back up that way, about a mile beyond, to go to work at 11:30. I lived just over a mile away from the mall so, it was just a 15:00 walk. I get as far as the hospital right behind the mall and I'm WELL off the side of the road when some fucking asshole came up OFF THE ROAD, hit me from behind and sped off leaving me for dead!! He fractured my left leg and cut another huge hole into my left elbow, this time, the same size as the knee hole and also nearly to the bone!
I have a few decent scars.
One on the back of my leg from falling out of a tree as a child, and landing on the sharp end of a broken branch.
One on my hand from a few years later, when I was trying to help out in the kitchen, and accidentally stabbed myself through the palm with a steak knife.
Another on my index finger when I was cutting open a package. The pocket knife slipped, and cleaved my finger in half, longways.

I have a lot of scars like a lot a lot of scars.
I have this skin problem which has given me quite a few scars. I've had particularly nasty bug bites including a brown recluse one time. I do dangerous things quite frequently so that definitely plays a role. I used to do sports quite a bit which doesn't help. I was in a house fire so I have a bunch of tiny scars from where ash had burned my skin. I got stabbed with a pencil one time and so now I have a scar on my hand. I cut my finger with hedge trimmers nearly cut it off actually that was very traumatizing I was very young at the time and geez that was not fun that scar is still there it's very faint cuz again I was very young at the time but it's there.
I sliced the back of my hand open on a rusty piece of metal recently the scar is there it's a very big one actually and it's also very interesting shape it's wavy actually it's not like a straight line it's not like a circle no it's a wavy line kind of wavy I mean not super wavy but hey. I have another scar that's the shape of a pig snout I don't know what that was I think it was a spider bite but I could be wrong I don't remember it very well.
When I was 4 years old I got attacked by a pitbull and it ripped my head open literally had to have the skin on my head stapled shut because a pitbull ripped it open this was over PopCorn by the way.
You know the instrument literally called a keyboard? It's basically a miniature electric piano there not that big but they're metal and they're a lot heavier than they look? Well I had one land on my hand and it tore my knuckle open.
I have a scar on my eyebrow and I don't know how that got there and I have two scars on my eyebrows and I don't know how they got there they could have been from the Pitbull but I don't think they are.
Here's a really embarrassing one. I actually have a scar just above my belly button and that was from a Lego.
I have a small scar on my hand that is very clearly a stab wound from a box cutter but I don't know how that got there is the thing so barely worth mentioning.
I have a scar on the inside of my nose I do know how that got there I'm not going to talk about it but let's just say I'm missing a chunk of cartilage from my nose right where the scar is.
I have a scar on the inside of my mouth as well that was actually because of fight I was in when I was younger I had a very unfriendly neighbor.
Anyway there's more stories but I'm starting to think I should just shut up now
You wanna know how I got these scars? My father, was a drinker, and a fiend. And one night, he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me and says, "Why so serious?" Comes at me with the knife. "WHY SO SERIOUS?" He sticks the blade in my mouth... "Let's put a smile on that face." And...
I think all were lacerations. All involved stitches. Only one was surgical, all the rest were accidental. Two involved knives (the surgical one was one of them). I split my forehead open twice on the same side. Once when I was 1 and I slipped out of a high chair. the second time I was 7 and fell off playground equipment. People found the woodchips with my blood on them. I don't remember when this happened, but I accidentally cut my right index finger the day after my birthday with a swiss army knife. It didn't hurt but it was bleeding a lot, which told me I needed stitches. I waited too long to get my empyema drained and needed surgery to remove it.
Physical ones are mainly self inflicted with sharp cutty things, although some from others lol.
some are self harm types,
some are more sexual in nature.
Others are from various stuff over years including couple crashes n stuff
non physical ones are likely deeper and more damaging, also they don’t tend to fade with time…
I have a big scar going across my lower shin from when I got hit by a car on my bike. Was probably going about 20 mph down a very steep hill on impact.
I also fell off my boosted board a couple times. Snapped the deck once and that fall left a big scar. I also have a scar from a fight I got into with someone. I'm not sure but it's probably from when he threw me through a glass table.
I also have scars from my acl surgery
I have one on my palm - I fell with a glass jar when I was a kid and my hand landed on the broken glass pieces. Ugh, I don’t like to think about it because I have trauma because of that and the surgical department 🤣 I also have some stretch marks and small barely visible scars caused by cat scratches 🙃
This one is from when I had my foot unflattened
This one I put a car cigarette lighter up to my arm
And this one, I wrote my bike down a flight of stairs straight into a tree
Mostly getting the crap beaten out of me in the bad neighborhoods I grew up in. I even have a bite mark on my side. I was also that fearless kid that would climb anything etc..

Well, I was in the Malaysian jungle, and had just stolen a golden head from an altar, and when escaping to my plane, a native threw a spear at me and that is where it hit me!!! 🤷♂️😂🤣
Scraping my hands on a hot blacktop. It hurt really bad 😅😞 Also stretch marks from gaining too much weight even though Im still skinny. Its confusing.
