Help me get rid of my scars

Update posted by Amy Shehaibi

when I was 6 or 7 I had an accident which left me with many scars on the face. All my life I felt insecure, every time I look at the mirror I felt ugly. I think many people can relate to this and know how hard it is to live this way day to day and not be able to do anything about it.

My parents didn't understand how serious the issue is, they thought that with time the scars will fade away and eventually disappear. It that did not happen. My scars are very dark and obvious.

It is very hard to find a good job and every time I met someone new, they always ask about my scars, In highschool, I had an argument with a girl once and she said I looked like a criminal. I will never forget that. For a girl to look like this it's a daily struggle. To see people stare at you everywhere you go and to know it's because of your scars and to hear them talk about it really hurts beyond imagination.

All I want is for the scars to go away, I just want to feel normal.I hope some people will understand and help me on this site. I am truly sick of all the stares and the comments in the street and all the suicide thoughts running through my mind.
