My best friend is having a birthday party in a couple weeks but it’s at a water park. My thighs have pink raised scars and there is no hiding those in a bikini. I’m going to try different ways to cover them up and if that doesn’t work I guess will be “sick” that weekend. I would feel really shitty about doing that though. I never thought I would live long enough to have this problem. It’s not like I want to put a damper on everyone’s day by explaining my scars. I hate getting attention. Surprise everyone I’ve found a religion that requires me to be completely covered up!

Or… you could simply ignore the scars yourself, and if anyone turns their attention toward the scars, you can politely remind them that this day is not about you, but about the birthday person, and refuse to entertain any further questioning.
There’s also: “don’t ask” and “you don’t want to know…”
or you could just make up something totally unbelievable, right there on the spot, just to mess with people (since, hey, they’re messing with you…)
Or wear shorts, even in the water. thats what i do. just say you had an incident with bathing suit coming up, and always wear shorts because your scared it’ll happen again. ( dont forget to bring a second pair to change into later)
you could always lie and say they happened in an accident when you were younger, but then again that would be hiding from it and theres no shame in it what so ever, everyone has scars just some take more strength to let go of
p.s if you need to talk to anyone in the next few hours email me kdelaney@hotmail.co.uk id rather help in the last few hours if at all possible
You could wear a monokini, or use some concealer. If what you fear is everyone finding out, then you have to face it eventually, but if you aren’t ready now, there is no shame of not being able to face everyone’s opinions. However, you shouldn’t let the scars prevent you from enjoying your life. Besides, the birthday party is about the birthday person, just tell the other people that if they start to ask questions.
you could also just come out and say I self harm if you have a problem just deal with it
I’ve done that before and it shut the people right up
But don’t hide who you are, if other people can’t deal with who you are, then that’s on them
dont be afraid of those scars. they are what make you, and tell youre story. you should go to the party and to not think about the scars because they show you are strong and that you are suffering. if i saw a girl with scars in a bikini i would give respect that they are brave enought to come out and let people see their story and what makes them. dont ever feel ashamed or emabarressed. ever 🙂
Thanks everyone for you comments! 🙂 I will take what each of you guys said into consideration. We’ll see if I’m strong enough to show my true self.
