I totally have a scar going across the side of my nose from an accident when I was younger. It's been there all my life. I don't even notice it. Some people don't notice it either and others point it out to me, I've had people say it's cool. It's never really bothered me personally haha. I don't get what the deal is around scars, I don't think they're that bad. They're kinda cool. They help make you who you are. You would be the exact same without them!

I'm more freaked out by people who don't have scars tbh
I'm full of scars and I like all of them even down to the mundane bug bite scar lol

Alexis! We are actually so similar(: I had heart surgery at 1months old and I think of it as my battlescar as well(: I have about 5 scars and they all come with an insane story so I'm quite the warrior! Lol I've come to love my stretch marks too!

Girl you're lucky then haha! It sucked so much! I was terrified I'd have to have my gallbladder taken out and it's super strange for an 8 year old to have gallstones but I liked my burgers lmao! I'm glad you didn't go through the same thing though! ☺️ I always get interested when I hear someone mention gallbladders now.. Which is probably weird but it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one that had that sortof problem haha :)

It's as if they don't even have natural folds, like where the joints are and such lol. anything less than "perfection" is disfiguring to the media! lol.

@Alexis, yes! My friend had her's out before me and she was freaking out and still does, but mine gallbladder was making me so sick the last thing I thought about were the scars?? Ha I don't understand because I can barely tell they are even there.

@Shaye, oh goodness I am so glad I didn't have stones! My gallbladder just was only functioning at 16%

I use to hate my stretch marks but now I gladly embrace them. I see them as tiger stripes, and just adds to my badassery. I have a few scars, a few on my arms, one on my index finger from opening cheese with a bread knife haha, one on my toe from running barefoot and stepping on a piece of plastic, and one from falling UP the stairs lol.

Alexis, no "flaws/defects" are featured. it's quite sad actually, just how much they airbrush those people.

My scars don't bother me. the ones on my wrist used to of course, but now I don't care. it's a reminder of how strong I am & how far I've come. I've always had scars on my legs/knees, one by my eye, & one on my forehead from chicken pox. the chicken pox one used to bother me because it's pretty big & circular & literally like right in the center of my forehead haha. but it's faded & now I could care less. I am still self conscious of my stretch marks, but maybe I'll eventually get over them like I did with my scars.

I love my scars! I have heaps from when I played baseball, one from accidentally stabbing myself in the hand with a butchers knife at work, scars in my tattoo where the artist overworked the area, scars from having warts burnt off and scars from just being an idiot. They all tell a story and serve as a reminder at times.

Well I hate acne scars but as far as other scars I don't care. I had my gallbladder taken out in April and I have tiny scars but I know so many girls who freak out but I honestly don't. I think it tells a story... But yes I hate acne scars on me...

Oh and also one just a little lower then my hip from having a hernia taken out as a baby lol :)

I have a few silly scars from falling over, accidentally cutting the tip of my thumb of when I was a kid, falling off a bike onto a ball bearing that also left a scar, I don't regret having them though and if someone asks I don't mind telling them, makes me giggle that I was clumsy as I was as a child lmao.

Well I've had stretch marks since puberty & they are definitely my main source of insecurity. My family always tries to say they're just marks but not to me. I know I'll never come to love them but that's just me :)

I love all my scars! reminds me of all the badassery (totally not even a word) that occurred throughout my years growing up! haha. I don't mind them, but I know a lot of girls do. the only scars I hate are my acne scars! that's it, though.
