Today, my thirteen-year-old daughter tried to scratch the freckles off of her face. We ended up going to the hospital. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 was probably teased about her freckles at school, maybe that's why she tried to get rid of them.

It's sad to think that we have to look a certain way to be accepted by society. So she has some freckles. She can still be beautiful with them. We were all made in God's image, why can't we be happy and accept it?

Smart one you raised. Teach her that it's not DIRT (the only other time I've heard of this was when a friends two yr thought her face was dirty and she kept trying to wash her face) Remind her that it's a part of herself that makes her unique and beautiful.

Oh goodness, that's going to be awkward to explain to everyone at school. Hopefully there won't be permanent scars. If she thought freckles were bad, imagine how bad those scratches must look.

Poor girl.

That sounds more like a body image issue...you should make sure she is alright mentally more than physically before it gets worse.

The poor dear. I wish her a speedy recovery. It's easy to hate things that make us stick out. Make sure she knows that you love and value her just the way she is.
