Quintal no they were very superficial. Usually a paperclip while in a boring assembly in junior high school. No visible scarring on my arms. Of course the knuckle banging left no scares And when I was l4 I babysat once and poured a bit of alchohol from all the different kinds available in an empty coke bottle and hid it in my closet. Once when My Mother got sick again I drank it and then with a razor made three slashes in my thigh. I was horrified as the alchohol had made me not conscious of the deed. So I had to show my parents bleeding bad and was taken to the doctor who said nothing a put a butterfly bandage on it. Nothinging further was ever said by my parents or doc but you can still see the scars. But let me tell you I scared myself and never did anything like this again. So I still think kids do these things when scared about their future or parents health or in rebellion. By the way I was fine till age 50 when my thyroid went. But panic in my twenties. So I am not a borderline in my opinion I was just a scared kid. My parents should have not allowed all the stress for me to see. Love Phillipa
