In terms of body image, all but one participant, a male, spoke about their scars, but the comments varied from teen to teen. For the males, one was nervous about showing his body, and the other two were not bothered. One stated, “If they're all like ‘Let's see your scar?’ I'd be like okay and I'll just pull down my shirt, you know. Like it's no big deal.” The females were conscious of their scars and covered them up depending on the circumstance. There was discussion of the type of shirt one wore, a high neck or a V-neck, and to whom the girls felt comfortable showing their scars. Two girls commented on the awkwardness of swimming and what type of cover-up was necessary. One remarked that, “I think about it a lot when I'm going there [swimming] and then once I'm there, I don't even remember it; I just continue on.” Teens felt comfortable enough around both family members and close friends to reveal their scars without concern. These teens had their scars from birth with some new ones added along the way. They knew themselves in no other way and recognized that friends and family also knew them in this way. One teen stated that, “we have this resort…where it's a little village with everyone we've known since I was born so everyone there is really protective and fine over it [the scar] and they don't mind.” The teens were hesitant in allowing schoolmates to see their scars, being more concerned with how this group would react than any other group. In the school setting, five of the teens felt the need to cover their scars so as not to be a target for bullies. The youngest teen, for example, only wore t-shirts with high necks at school because: “I'm just scared that they'll [classmates] be like oh, like make fun of me or something.” This was a bigger issue when they were younger, as presently many of them now were less concerned about how others viewed them. Two other girls spoke of the embarrassment of having their school peers see the scars but were unbothered by strangers seeing their scars.
