Today, I got a small scar on my faced removed at a plastic surgeon's. Afterward, I told my mom that losing the scar felt weird, like I lost something that gave me character. My mom replied, "Don't worry, you have plenty of other flaws to give you character." FML

Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML

Today, the cut on my face from getting hit with a baseball healed. It's left a dick-shaped scar. FML

Today, I have a facial scar from an accident, it's large but not disfiguring. A guy on the bus asked if I could turn away because it was scaring his kid (the kid wasn’t even paying attention) so I told him to screw off, but people started agreeing with him. FML

Today, and for the last year, I have a disfiguring scar on my nose that I’m very self conscious about. My 4 year-old niece recently noticed it. Now every time she sees me she leans in real close and says, “What’s wrong with your face?” FML

Today, a woman asked why my daughter doesn't look remotely like me. I just smiled and shrugged it off, but the truth is that she looks exactly like I did before I got my botched plastic surgery. FML

Today, I heard a little girl saying how much she didnt want braces to her mom because they hurt and make people look ugly. I looked at her and said, "Aww, there not that bad. See, I have them!" I then smiled to show her. She turned to her mom and said, "See!" then started to cry. FML

Today, exactly six months out from the biopsy of a spot on my leg approximately the size of a fleck of ground pepper, I have a 2-inch long scar and railroad scar dots from the stitches involved. Next time, get the dermatologist refer me to a plastic surgeon instead of doing it himself. Bonus? It still aches. FML

Today, in thanks for my assistance, a customer recommended me a plastic surgeon who could "really help with that face." FML

Today, I had to be go to the ER after I fell on a rake. After having stiches put in, my Mom wanted me to go to the store with her. My friend saw me at the store and thought it would be funny to rip off the band aid because she thought I was hiding a zit. She ripped out my stitches. FML

She probably said it more sarcastically, then actually meaning it...

How small a scar? Vanity might be one of those flaws.

Vain and naive child. It's a JOKE. Go buy some sense-of-humor seeds from the store, plant them, grow a sense-of-humor tree, and eat the RIPE SENSE-OF-HUMOR FRUIT.

But scars add badass character. Those other flaws probably add lame character :(

@#33: i have a scar on my face ((and love it)) and totally agree with you but some people are unfortunate and get very bad scars that they really hate. and at Lena, how does this **** your life up? it was a silly comment from your mom who was actually nice enough to waste money for your surgery so you could be "perfect."

why do you need plastic surgery, it's just a scar?

why does her saying that upset you when you were upset about losing your scar that gave you character? you apparently don't make connections very well...
