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

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.

I actually scratched off a mole on my stomach thinking it was a scab.. It wasn't until later when I was looking at photos and saw one of me in a bikini and there was a mole on my stomach that I was like, "wait a minute... Didn't I..? Crap." it's healing just fine though!

You might wanna get her a therapist, sounds like self-esteem issues or something..

I also tried to cut the moles off my face amd body when I was 11, OP should really check if the kid is being bullied and reassure her that freckles are beautiful :)

I feel for your daughter, OP. I used to avoid going out into the sun because it made my freckles more prominent. It could be that she is being bullied, but it could also be that she wants a clear complexion since that is what is normally portrayed as beautiful in the media and young women are under a lot of pressure to look good. If she really hates them that much, I recommend a honey and lemon juice mask. But I think the real problem here is all of the messages she's getting telling her she's not pretty enough. Being at peace with your body is very difficult to do as a young girl growing up in America.

No offense, but I think looking into therapy for your kid might be a good idea.

My mom always used to tell me a story about Pippi Longstocking, who saw a sign that said "Are you suffering from freckles?". She then went into the shop and said "No!". The shopkeeper asked her, why she said no and Pippi said that she didn't suffer from freckles. "But your face is full of them", said the shopkeeper. "Yes, but i don't suffer from them", was Pippi's answer. That little story cheered me up every time :)
