Hello my name is Bonnie. So when i was 2 years it happened that i drank paraffin, and after that i had scars around my neck and and some of my hair turned white. The scars on my neck are different, not burnt or swollen per say but i would say there are similar to a girrafe print. This affected me so much during my childhood as i did not have the confidence and with everyone always looking at me it reminded me that am different and not like other people. But now i 30, i learnt to embrace my scars i believe they make me to be so unique and different in a good way
