This may sound unhelpful, but why hide them? My scars are part of me, just like my green eyes, if someone isn't willing to see the person behind the scars, then are they really worth worrying about? I say NO. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying my scars are a good thing, and I would never encourage anyone to SI ever, but what is done is done. Don't hide your scars, learn from them.

this really hit the nail on the head. I'm 7yrs SI free but my arms and upper legs are very bad looking. This summer is the first time since I started cutting (at age 15 - so 12yrs) that I have wore tshirts & tanks. I'm done hiding them, at times I'm embarrassed but this is me, those scars tell my story.
That said, there are many many people in my life that do not know I have ever cut myself. I am still careful about who I allow to see my arms. GL and have fun, try not to focus on your scars, just on having a good time.
