My Scars

Scars can last a lifetime. They can be created physically or emotionally, and show what you've gone through in life.

I have many physical scars from playing basketball, hockey, and soccer. They are on my knees, elbows, sometimes on the face! Some are small and a few are big. I hate scars as they irritate me so much. Whenever I glance at one of them, I would always have a flashback on how I got it. Then I'd realize how stupid I was to have been hurt that bad. My parents always tell me to be careful whenever I leave the house to hang out with friends or maybe just go out to shoot some hoops with random people. So, when I come back with a bleeding knee, hand, etc., I'm always told how dumb I was for getting hurt. I know everything that happened was through accidents. But the scars can last a long time which remind me of my stupidity.

I think the worst scar I got was an emotional one. This one involved a close friend of mine. It all began 2 weeks into 9th grade when my friend since elementary realized that I wasn't giving him a call to chill or call to talk. Then we started to verbally fight with each other and he made my new and old friends go against me. But it was alright because I didn't want to make such a scene. So, I waited til' we confronted each other! It took almost half of the school year for us to make up. Now, we're close as ever and I'm glad we got to experience that.
