Self-harm: Not so much scars, as perpetual issues. I chew on my fingers/thumb when stressed, and work has been crazy busy lately. Along with changing cars and winter coming, bite bite bite.

Burn scars: Surprisingly, none. This is despite burning my fingerprints off on thumb and forefinger catching a soldering iron by the tip.

Childhood memories: Chickenpox scars down my chest/stomach, shins and legs battered by bike pedals during a spate of accidents. And a tiny near-invisible scar where I nearly lost an eye to my glasses, coming off my first bike.
Hand: Nearly sliced my thumb off with a penknife once. Scar reminds me to cut AWAY from myself. AWAY.

Surgery: None invasive that hasn't just healed up. Thank fuck.

Animal incidents: Grew up with cats, so everything was done by sharp claws, and healed swiftly.

Other: ACCIDENTS.
Wrists: I work retail. Perpetual injuries on my wrists from shelving and boxes.
Feet: My workboots cause big callouses on my feet.
Head: Shoved off my bike into a wall as a teenager, scraped the skin off my cheek. I had the most epic scars for a few months, and dramatic scabs for about a week. Chicks dig scars, so it was awesome.
And there's a gouge taken out of my forehead from some attempted DIY. The washing machine started leaking because of a busted hose, so I tried to fashion a patch with a length of metal pipe. Cutting the pipe to size, the dremel's cutting blade snapped and hit me in the forehead. Not a lot of blood, but the gouge is still there about 6 months later. I think it's here to stay.

I have dyspraxia, so I'm fairly accident-prone, and ridiculously tolerant to minor injuries. If it stops bleeding, I'm fine.

Selfharm: let's just say i tired to cut everything. My arms and legs were where it mostly happened.

Burn: Had an abusive ex who would put out his cigs on me.

Childhood: scraped my knee really bad once.

The self harm thingies were just something I tried a few times, no biggie. Once put out a cigarette on my left arm.

The knee, was when I ripped off my ligaments and the menescus. Ligaments injured were the one on the outside of the knee on the right side, and the internal one that looks a bit like an X.

Self Harm: Took liberty with the marks on their head - impacts don't tend to leave permanent scars. But there were definite self-inflicted swellings in those areas.

Crotch is… uh. Bad stuff done in a shitty mood and not caring when things get cut.

Surgery: Something on my abdomen somewhere for a hernia. Split my head open on a bar gate.

Other: Blood donation scars, accidental bread knife on hand, marks on my thighs for some reason I don't know. Couple of scars on my face I have no idea where they came from, either.

Self-harm: dumb angsty teenager trying to do a dumb call for help because I hadn't yet learned that other people have their own lives to worry about and don't have time for your whiny shit. I eventually learned to just keep everything bottled up. Drinking, smoking cancersticks, and heavy drug abuse are much better forms of self-harm now that I'm an adult.

Burns: just a few burn marks that I got on my right hand when cleaning the grills at McDonald's in my teens.

Childhood memories: The scar on my knee was from when I was about 6 years old on a trip somewhere with a friend, me and his sisters were racing back to the car and I tripped and landed on a jagged rock. It bled everywhere and I cried like a little girl.
The tiny one on my right hand was when I was trying to open a popsicle with a pair of scissors and I slipped and stabbed myself in the side of the hand. Wasn't even that big of a cut, no idea why it left a scar.

Surgery: had appendicitis in 2009. Instead of the traditional big fat scar, I had keyhole surgery which left me with a small scar directly beneath my belly button. God damned surgeons stretched my belly button about when they were stitching me up and it's not been the same shape ever since :(

Other: Me and a bunch of friends did what we normally did when I was 15 - got a tonne of booze and had a party in a field, away from our village and the prying eyes of adults. I drank far too much and passed out next to the pile of empty bottles. Some idiot threw a log at the pile so they all broke. I rolled over in my sleep and got stabbed in the arm. Lost a pint of blood and my elbow bones were sticking out of me whenever I bent my arm.
The glass must have entered with some force because the bone feels slightly chipped, like there's a groove in it where some bone is missing.

It's not about standards, it's that you care. If you didn't, you wouldn't feel as strongly as you do. Struggle means that you are fighting to stay alive, as painful as it might be. Life is one and the same with struggle, and life is beautiful to me.

I self harm with a knife heated by a lighter because it doesn't leave scars. (at least on me?) also i am too much pussy to actually cut.

If theres one thing Im proud of, its the fact that no one IRL knows about this shit. For nearly 6 years I've ninja'd pretty well. Damn Im good.
The childhood memory on my butt is from a belt. You know, you did something stupid, didnt go to bed in time, you got your ass whipped.

Yikes, are you afraid of dogs after those attacks? One dog attack was all it took for me. Some fucking stray german shepard decided that my arm would be a good snack. Now those marks are pretty well covered by self made scars.

Burns are rough approximations, from my dad putting cigarettes out on me. The green one near the mouth was when I fell and bit through my tongue. My self-harm is non-scarring, mostly punching myself as hard as I can in the head, usually for 2-3 minutes at a time.
