I spilled an entire cup of hot coffee on myself at 18 months... I have a huge scar on my shoulder. My brother broke both wrists snowboarding at 15, my second brother had a glass pop bottle explode in his face at 2.... His chin was the only thing that got cut. My third brother broke his elbow at 7 and then at 23 broke his ankle... We should get frequent flyer miles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1002375 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 21:52:33 +0000 Reese 1002375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I was in a serious car accident with my mother when I was 9. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1002366 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 21:50:17 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1002366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankfully no but I will fully admit to being a wussy kid. I refused to walk on the grass barefooted so I wasn't exactly the adventurous child. Other than the occasional ballet injuries, I escaped childhood/teen years pretty unscathed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1002241 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 21:22:52 +0000 Penny Lane 1002241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>broke both the bones in my left forearm when I was 9. I fell off a swing. my arm looked like a staircase! </p> <p>and when I was 13 I decided it would be a fun idea to rollerblade down the (steep hill) street we lived on. didn't remember til half way down that I had no brakes. O_O scraped my hip down to the bone and my elbow and palm pretty badly too. </p> <p>went home, bandaged myself up and waited for mum to get home from work. she still makes fun of me for that! "but I didn't want to bother you at work..." "YOU WERE BLEEDING THROUGH YOUR CLOTHES AND BANDAGES ONTO THE FLOOR!" "yeah..." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1002133 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 21:04:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 1002133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was maybe 8 my brother and I thought it would be fun to sled down our steep staircase on one of those kiddie sofas...spoiler alert: that didnt work as planned. Black eye, bruises and an ER trip later I was ok.</p> <p>When I was 5 our then-puppy jumped on me and knocked me into an insert fireplace that had a roaring fire going. My entire forearm was badly burned, but miraculously I have no scars today from that. I remember having to go to a burn specialist and him picking dead skin off my arm with tweezers! Ouch!!</p> <p>I've got nothing on my brother; how he survived childhood is a mystery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1002111 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 21:01:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1002111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was run over by a 4-wheeler! Amazingly enough, no broken bone - even though the paramedic said it was. </p> <p>I was really accident prone but I never broke a bone or needed stitches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1002093 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:59:05 +0000 JamieLee 1002093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: OMG!

To this day it hurts a lot, it cracks a lot and is very weak. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1001557 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:28:25 +0000 chopsuey 1001557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sprained my ankle when I was 16. That's about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1001551 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:27:32 +0000 Bao 1001551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was 5 I was riding on the back of my uncles bike (why?) and got my foot caught in, and twisted around the spokes. It ripped all the skin off my ankle and part of my foot. Then when I was 8 the same uncle (I swear he's a good guy lol) slammed my fingers in a steel door and ripped two nails off. Those were the only times I've really been hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1001521 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:21:20 +0000 Chocoholic 1001521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily no broken bones or stitches for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1001214 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:52:00 +0000 Alivoo01 1001214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I scraped up my knees terribly in kindergarten. Once they healed up, I tore them up again. I also sprained my ankles a lot while playing sports, but once you sprain it, your ankles get weak and they sprain easily. Fortunately, I have never broken anything! *knocks on wood* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1001205 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:49:29 +0000 Anagram 1001205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess the worst one was that one of my older sisters dropped me on my head on a tile floor and I had a hairline fracture in my skull from the top of my head to below my ear. And a pretty severe concussion--I was unresponsive for almost 30 minutes.</p> <p>And yet, somehow I'm still normal (mostly--haha). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1001158 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:36:33 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1001158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading all your replies scares the daylights out of me! DD is very reckless, she's been trying to jump off of the bed since before she learned to walk. It's even worse now because she can climb onto the bed and she can run so she has momentum when she tries to jump off! She's really playful, but combined with her curiosity, it's heart attack inducing sometimes! I need to take notes from all your stories to alleviate the risks for my little daredevil. </p> <p>Note: I'm the crazy person that faved this thread, so I can easily find it later for reference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-1001087 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:14:21 +0000 Meridian 1001087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was 3, I was carrying a glass bottle at a party (don't ask, this was in Taiwan and my parents weren't around). I dropped it and got glass shards stuck in my left wrist. I have a scar on my wrist and palm, and to this day, my index finger on my left hand is noticeably smaller than normal and doesn't bend very far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-999790 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 13:18:33 +0000 Torchwood 999790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! My first broken bone was a few months after I got married! DH on the other hand... he played a lot of sports, and has broken every toe, almost every finger, his wrist, torn ligaments, herniated disks, all kinds of things. Hoping for a kid more like me!</p> <p>Also, my cousin broke her collarbone 5 times when she was little. All were legit, but child services had to look into it since that's a common one with abuse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-999774 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 13:15:14 +0000 MamaMoose 999774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: WHOA! That's scary! </p> <p>The house I grew up in had big poles in the basement that helped support the house. When I was 6 or 7 I tried to climb up one of them, fell of, and split the back of my head open on the corner of a wooden table. I had to get about 12 stitches. It was a bloody mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-999761 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 13:11:48 +0000 Boheme 999761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: That made me laugh so hard! </p> <p>I never got hurt *too* badly, but all my injuries stemmed from four things: my treehouse, sledding, the crazy awesome and steep homemade slip n slide my grandpa made us every summer, and my temperamental Shetland pony. I got scraped off, bitten, and bucked off by that pony every week and I just loved her to bits haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-999722 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 13:06:01 +0000 teamjse 999722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing I did on purpose, but when I was 3, my parents took us sledding and I ended up hitting a tree at the bottom of the hill. I was fine though, but my dad swear my chronic migraines are from that event. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-999714 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 13:04:36 +0000 avivoca 999714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of? When I was 2 or 3, I pulled the playpen (and my sister) down on myself. Both of us ended up with busted faces and damaged permanent teeth. I also grabbed a hot curling iron by the barrel and burned both of my hands. In Kindergarten, a teacher told me to stand right in front of a door that swung out and someone opened the door and busted my nose. I don't know if it broke, but I have a bump in my nose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-999665 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:55:37 +0000 JessKas 999665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really got hurt as a kid. I only ended up at the doctor's because I got a lot of ear infections. DH, on the other hand, was super accident prone. Broken bones, stitches, burns! I hope our kid is more like me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-998541 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:33:19 +0000 Sunshine1810 998541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I broke my elbow when I was three. When I was a teenager I broke my nose playing softball and had to have 2 surgeries to fix it. Ouch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-998532 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:29:37 +0000 pui 998532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The worst I ever did was break my collar bone when I was four... I had shoved my body through the sleeves of my mom's sweater and tried to wiggle down the stairs that way. Brilliant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-998530 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:28:51 +0000 Charm54 998530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The worst I had was getting hit in the head with a hockey puck while watching a game. I needed some stitches and had a slight concussion but I'm not worse for wear ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-998527 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:27:59 +0000 MrsSCB 998527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, I was a cautious kid. My worst injury was spraining my ankle really badly playing volleyball in high school. That actually still swells and hurts sometimes. My sister was crazy, though. She once ran down a slide in preschool, fell off the side, and hit her head on a tricycle. She got stitches and has a scar through her eyebrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hurt-yourself-badly-as-a-kid#post-998432 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 07:48:34 +0000 JamieLee 998432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah. I was very accident prone. I fell out of a kiddy pool when I was two and broke my collar bone, my cousin stepped on my hand and broke two of my fingers when I was 4, I fell off a swing and broke both wrists when I was in second grade, I fell and broke my foot in 5th grade, and fell skiing and tore my ACL in seventh grade. I really hope DS doesn't take after me! </p>
