Today, I got a small scar on my faced removed at a plastic surgeon's. Afterward, I told my mom that losing the scar felt weird, like I lost something that gave me character. My mom replied, "Don't worry, you have plenty of other flaws to give you character." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML
Today, the cut on my face from getting hit with a baseball healed. It's left a dick-shaped scar. FML
Today, I finally got an unsightly mole on my face removed. While I was shaving. FML
Today, I have a facial scar from an accident, it's large but not disfiguring. A guy on the bus asked if I could turn away because it was scaring his kid (the kid wasn’t even paying attention) so I told him to screw off, but people started agreeing with him. FML
Today, and for the last year, I have a disfiguring scar on my nose that I’m very self conscious about. My 4 year-old niece recently noticed it. Now every time she sees me she leans in real close and says, “What’s wrong with your face?” FML
Today, a woman asked why my daughter doesn't look remotely like me. I just smiled and shrugged it off, but the truth is that she looks exactly like I did before I got my botched plastic surgery. FML
Today, I heard a little girl saying how much she didnt want braces to her mom because they hurt and make people look ugly. I looked at her and said, "Aww, there not that bad. See, I have them!" I then smiled to show her. She turned to her mom and said, "See!" then started to cry. FML
Today, a stranger told me, “You have a great personality!” I thought it was a sweet compliment until they added, “…because your face could absolutely use some work.” FML
Today, exactly six months out from the biopsy of a spot on my leg approximately the size of a fleck of ground pepper, I have a 2-inch long scar and railroad scar dots from the stitches involved. Next time, get the dermatologist refer me to a plastic surgeon instead of doing it himself. Bonus? It still aches. FML
Today, in thanks for my assistance, a customer recommended me a plastic surgeon who could "really help with that face." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She probably said it more sarcastically, then actually meaning it...

How small a scar? Vanity might be one of those flaws.

Why did you do that? Scares on the face are so sexy and makes people look mysterious! I wish I had one (I am girl and I know a lot of people who loves scares on the face!). Those little flaws make you special. "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else, and we are all part of the same compost pile."

I have a huge scar on the top of my wrist (not the underside so no one mistakes it for a suicide slash or anything lol) from having my wrist rebuilt. The scar was minimized by good stitching and the cast afterwards, but I like my scar. It doesn't bother me at all. Some people it bothers, to each their own.

Maybe she's just jealous of your youth? I've only recently realised that when my mum makes disparaging comments about my clothes/face/body it's cos she feels crap about her own looks. Don't take it to heart. As long as you're happy with yourself :)

The mom here is awesome! If you're stupid enough to waste money to get a tiny scar removed by a plastic surgeon, then your mom, or anyone for that fact, has plenty of right to tell you about all the other little blemishes you could waste more money on.
