yeah, quite a bit, i can never go swimming again, as i wouldn't want people seeing my scars and i can never wear a bikini in my life for the scars on my stomach, i also don't let people, (guys) get to close to me, for a fear of what they'll say.

depends on how i care for them, with anteseptic cream about a week and a half, without about 3.

ashamed when new people find out and are all like omg are you okay and stuff, but i'm not proud of them either, i would love to get rid of them at times, but they're part of me now, what can i do.
