Amen. I have 27 scars on my body pre-peuberty. I was always doing something stupid, god I'm glad I didnt grow up today... I'd be labeled ADHD and stuck with pills and excuses for the rest of my life.
If I did something stupid that got me hurt I'd get a band-aid and a "guess you'll know better now" reply. Not that my parents didn't care, they just understood I was really into exploring and trying new/stupid things.
I have 27 scars over my body from back then, I have 36 scars now. Each one is a lesson learned, and a good story. It hurts for a bit, but as I said, I thank god I was allowed to be a kid.
