I have this keloid scar on my right knee. The size is like the tip of my pinky. I am proud I have that because it reminds me of my happy childhood.
I am fond of playing of “Prikidam 1-2-3”. I do not know why it was named like that. Haha! It is game that requires the opposing team to catch all the other teams member and became their “hostage” for them to take over the other team’s base. How do I get it? When on the heat of the play, you can’t avoid to clash on other player or to be out of balance. The result? Wound on my knee.
Well, this is a story that my niece/nephew or my future children will not understand. Because now, their playmate is their tablets/computers. Haha! BORING! Haha!
You? What is the most memorable scar you have?

As a child I liked to climb trees. One day I slipped and got a deep gouge in my arm. When I look at the scar I always remember my carefree childhood days.

I have a keloid on my calf from walking into a marquee peg at a village fete when I was about 8 and I have a nice one on my kneecap from falling up the stairs at work. But far and away my best and most important is across the base of my neck from my two thyroid operations to remove the cancer I had. My surgeon is a genius and did a fantastic job.

@sofssu they have friends in facebook but not a real friend when they needed one. That is why my nephews and niece where only allowed to touch iPad in weekends and theywere allowede by my siblings running out the house rather than sitting in the living room watching everthing they want to watch at youtube.

Nothing nice to see, a 30 cm. long scar on my right arm. I broke my right elbow when I was 6 year old. Due to a mistake of the doctor, too long to explain, I needed surgery because I had lost the use of my arm. Now I can use my right arm and hand, but the scar is there to remember that day.

I have one that brings me bad memories, when I was around 12 I got attacked by a group of teens who were trying to steal my bike and ended getting stiches on my chin and elbow and everytime I see my scars I remeber about that time

It is hard to say what is the most memorable. Like you, I played outside and that would be when I would get hurt, but I would just get up and go about my business of playing some more.

my face was slashed with a broken bottle when I was 15 in 1975. I still have a thin scar about 5 inches long on my left cheek though it is very faded now

@wiLLmaH happy to talk of it - random assault by a bully I'd stood up to previously - he walked in a shop where I was being served in front of the shop owner, my sister and another customer and just coldly slashed me there and then. The shop owner grabbed him and called the police and an ambulance for me

I have a scar on the corner of my left knee cap where a bully boy pushed me on the outside stairs at school. I think of him every time I see it and hope he ended up a happier adult than he was as a child.

I used to play that too @wiLLmaH but we call it "Agawang base." Very true for the new generation, haven't play those kind of games. Every summer I usually play with my kids in front of our house "patintero" fortunately most of my scars are not so visible now

I have a huge scar on my thumb from when I almost cut it off when slicing a bagel. I learned never to hold anything while cutting it

I agree today's kids don't have the fun we did by being active. My sister bit me when she was around 4 and i still have the scar. She's in her 60's and I bring it up often in our conversations.

That is exactly what happens. We do laugh a lot now that we are older...

I was bitten by a dog as a child and have a massive scar on the back of my right leg to prove it.

I was hitten by our own pet dogs. Twice. One each. We have 4 dogs, two of them hates me. Even I am the one who give them food and shower them. Haha.
One dog bit when I am singing while he is sleeping. The other one ran after me then bit me on when I do not want him to go out of our gate. Haha. Both bit me on my butt.

Here in the Philippines it's called "Agawan Base" or "shokok" in my dialect. It's one of my favorite traditional Filipino game. In this generation, I haven't seen those games being played on the streets anymore. Most kids stay at home and play with their gadgets.
