Today, my thirteen-year-old daughter tried to scratch the freckles off of her face. We ended up going to the hospital. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my 12 year old daughter is going through a bit of an "emotional" stage. I got a call from her school saying she was sitting in the corner at recess trying to cut her wrist. With a plastic spoon. FML
Today, my daughter and I were at a school carnival. At the face painting station, she sat down and asked for a kitty on her face. Next, she shoved me on a chair and whispered something into the lady's ear. I ended up with a 'black eye' by request of my own daughter. She's 4. FML
Today, I helped out with makeup at my daughter's high school play. As one girl walked past, I told her that she'd smudged pink lipstick all up the side of her face. Turns out it was a birthmark. She cried in the dressing room for half an hour. FML
Today, my daughter was playing outside. I was watching her from the window, and I saw her pick up a dead bird. I ran outside to grab her. As I picked her up and started scolding her, she tried to scratch my face. In the attempt, her hand went straight into my mouth. FML
Today, my daughter lightly bumped her hand on a wall, cried and screamed for 5 minutes, vomited, then passed out. She’s 19. FML
Today, instead of kissing my child's boo-boo on her finger to make it feel better, I accidentally headbutted her. FML
Today, I was holding hands with my daughter and she wanted to skip. When I went to skip I accidentally kneed her in the face. Everyone saw her holding her busted lip and pointing at me. FML
Today, a little girl pointed to the acne on my face and said to her dad, "Look at how many mosquito bites she has on her face!" FML
Today, I thought it would be funny to tickle my daughter's foot, which she hates. One bloody nose, multiple scratches and 4 toe-shaped bruises later, she's the one laughing. FML
Today, my daughter called 911. Why? Because she couldn't get the images to show up on her phone. She's 12. FML

She kept scratching even though it hurt that bad and did enough damage to get taken to the hospital? She needs help.

She needs a serious talk, maybe counselling. If her self-esteem is that low it will only lead to depression, self-harm and other related problems.

I agree. This is actually quite disturbing. There may be deeper issues that need to be resolved for the safety of the child. If my 3 year old did something like this when she's 13 I wouldn't be whining on FML. I would be doing everything in my power to help her. Be a parent and help your child OP.

I think freckles are cute on girls...she should learn to embrace her features...or buy some skin bleaching cream..

Sounds like your girl is being picked on in some way or other. I think you need to try to talk to her about what has caused this. Probably easier said than done but she sounds a little mixed up at the moment and could probably use some parental help.

I with this had more thumbs up than "she needs an IQ test".

Was she a ginger?

Half ginger (freckles only).

I'm betting somebody said something about them...a loved one. do the research before they hurt her again.

Sounds like she's being bullied. I would talk to her

I agree with others. Somebody has probably been picking on her or bullying her. If it isn't that it might be down to the fact that sheer cover etc cover up peoples' freckles and see that as a selling point. Talk to her.

I agree. OP, make sure you get down to the cause of this. For your daughter's sake. Talking to her is probably a good starting point. This is not a psychologically healthy behavior.

A face without freckles is like a night without stars.
