I no longer had to wear my comfortable orthopedic sleeve and right now it was a huge scar. Other students stared. They always asked, “Why are you wearing this?” and I said, "My arm burned when I was little." Some thought it was beautiful, but some thought it was very abnormal. I didn't think much about it then. Once I started middle school, I ended up having no friends because of the scar. They were afraid of me. My peers then started treating me differently. Some people wouldn't approach me because my scar scared them and others wouldn't talk to me just because it wasn't normal. This made me uncomfortable, so my reaction was to wear long sleeves to school every day. This caused many people to forget that I had a scar, but those who remembered made fun of me and said things like, “You're so pathetic. You wear long sleeves every day just to cover that ugly scar. I would have just frowned and walked away. I wanted the bullying to stop completely
