Everyone has something they worry about or feel bad about. Even very confident people have something they don’t like about themselves. Learning to be okay with who you are takes time, and it’s normal to feel this way. Be kind to yourself.
Look at your scar as a positive thing that helped you heal when you were younger. It shows that your body is healthy now.
People will probably ask about your scar if it is on a part of your body that can be easily seen. You can tell them your story about how you got it. It will help you feel more confident about your body.
When choosing clothes, pick things that you feel good about. If you really don’t want to show your scar, wear fun and colourful clothes to take people’s attention away from it. You can look good and feel comfortable at the same time.
