Seriously, do you guys believe in it? For me, in my life, i always wanted to stay good looking,pimple free, just look like some really cool movie star when I was about 15. I really felt that way, until things came to a turn, I got injured on the top of my head, it left a permenant mark on my hair, so my hair could not grow on that area again. It really cut me deep inside. Because like what I said on top, I really felt like an ugly monster after that incident. I never dared to tell anyone because i was afraid they might make fun of me and call me names like "hole in the head" or something. It made me feel kind of withdrawn from the society and my friends. I keep feeling scared of facing behind a person who's on top of me, afraid that they might notice and poke fun of me,even when i know they're strangers. I wouldn't dare to go out if I don't have a cap that time, I was really afraid at the period of time.
Those people who got me injured were never found. Now I have to live with it for the rest of my life. 5 years later,which is now, although I still hate people asking me about it, I still hate to explain to people. But I learnt to face reality,and moved on, go out and face the world bravely.
After sharing my experience, although it's not really in detail, I would like to know whether you guys have similiar situations like me, and how you bravely fought and faced it til now.
Opinions please.

I think all people go through this Sweetie......
I went through this with My Motor-cycle Burns.....everyone except My Mother knew what those Burns were from. If I had told my Mother I was on a Bike w/ a Boy....she would have Killed Me. The Burns were pretty bad.
I had the Vin # scored into my right leg. It was pretty Bad.
Thank God for Vitamin -E and Glycerin.......you can't even tell today that there was ever anything wrong ( unless you look really , really closely )
I hope you've outgrown your fears , every Body on the planet has something which makes them Insecure. Anymore.....I look at Scars ( in particular ) as Being very attractive. They have a story. I have Faded Scars up-& down both Arms from when I worked at a Dog/Grooming Salon for like a Month.
They tell the stories of all of the rotties and especially those little Chiuauas that I survived their " nips " from.
" Mel Rocks !!!!!!!! " XXXXXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOOOO A.

wow, but at least you have said something that i believe I will remember, "Every scar has a story." It's really something I never thought of. Thanks.

Yes I believe that. Though my story is not as serious as yours, but I had really terrible acne problem when I was in my teen years. I didn't even dare to look at the mirror at myself for months, because it was so painful to look at my own face. Friends would stop hanging out with me, because I was ugly, and guys I liked dislike me because I was ugly. But I eventually grew out of it, and is currently now acne-free! :) If they can't see me for who I really am beneath, they are really not that worth it afterall.
