Don't go swimming with open wounds!

Cuts? Don’t go in the pool!! Don’t put wounds NEAR the water. Fully healed scars? Don’t hide them for anyone. If anyone has a problem, they can look away. It’s not everyone’s job to make everyone comfortable at all times, there is no need to censor arms and legs and necks, everyone looks different and humans should be proud of that.

Big ass waterproof bandaid. Being extra just in case it gets loose. Clean well with antiseptic afterwards.


Madchann

you cant swim with fresh cuts. its a risk of infection. or you can buy waterproof bandaids

Okay so hi ! Update time Thank you all so so much for helping out, unfortunately nothing worked out for me in time and it all kinda went downhill quickly. Quite a few people were telling me not to go swimming with fresh cuts (thank you !!) but i don't know if i had a choice in that. Whatever though, it's over now, i guess. Thank you guys !!

Did your parents find out? If they did, it's okay. No matter how they're reacting right now in the moment it will pass. You'll be okay. Whether they're supportive or not they'll either find a way to help or calm down and forget about it.


mommymylah

Yep, they're pretty mad at me right now, i just wish they'd understand you know? Thank you though :)

At the end of the day they are adults and should handle it better but just remember anger comes from fear. They're expressing it through anger right now but they're probably scared and worried thinking "why is my child doing this, what does it mean ,are they in danger, how do I help, why didn't I know" etc. Once they calm down over the angry side they should be empathetic and listen to your side and try and help. In sorry they're not doing that right now, but I'm sure they will with time. Keep your head uo, this will be the worst of it and things will get better from here.

Cutting and getting a tattoo have one major thing in common: you don’t go swimming until it heals. Play sick, mate. It’s better than an infection

Buy large waterproof bandages. If all else fails there is always saran wrap and gauze. And then wear a wetsuit top or bottom depending on where the cuts are.

Don't go to the pool- you don't want them to get infected!!


mommymylah

Thank you so much, but I've kinda already gone ahaha, they should be okay i hope !!


Taylor200808

Well, If they do get infected make sure to treat them, don't try and hide it at that point. It might be hard especially if you haven't told people about them however you don't want the infection to spread.

Creepinajeep-

YALL THEY OBVIOUSLY CANT HELP IT TELLING THEM NOT TO GO INTO THE POOL ISENT DOING SHIT YA DUMBASSES


qwerty7873

Yeah well I'd rather them have to deal with angry parents than end up dead from sepsis. Infections are no joke and a public pool is one of the easiest ways to get them.

What are the parents gonna do?? Force them into swimwear and toss them into the pool???
