Answer 1

well do you act emo? dress in all black?

trust me, the world we live in is terribly f'd up

people look for anything to try to label you

so... if they want to say that you cut yourself LET THEM

don't try to defend yourself... if thats not what it is then you don't need to

Answer 2

just tell them the truth

Answer 3

just let them think what they want, you are still an awesome person.

Answer 4

just ignore them. make up a reasonable excuse if you cant tell your real reason. hope it works.

Answer 5

just say " you are going to think what you want, whatever"I mean if it is just kids at school it doesn't matter what they say. my daughter said the same thing happens to her.

Answer 6

tell them that you had a battle with a grizzly bear last year

or go ape on haters

Answer 7

Just tell them the truth. You don't have to go into detail, but just so that they know what's what. You can also get scar creams that will minimize the look of the scars and possibly get rid of them all together, and you will not have to worry about it. Good luck :)

Answer 8

Can you tell them what the scars are from? Try wearing long sleeves.

Answer 9

Just retort: "You should see the other person!"

We all collect scars: if you're fortunate, they don't show.

I'd be concerned about those 'inner scars' that don't show, but still hurt...

See my name? That's my credentials-

Answer 10

ummmm

dont worry about what they say. ive been accused of the same thing so many times but itll be ok.

just say "ur mom" and laugh. theyll prolly stop.

Answer 11

if they don't leave you alone you will cut them

Answer 12

I had the exact same problem! Its ridiculously frustrating, but after a while I just came the realization they don't know anything about my life and situations so who are they to make fun of or joke about it.

I ignored them and hung out with people I knew were chill. Even though there was only two people at the school that I could consider friends. Once people noticed I didn't care they quit the teasing haha.
