The single most painful experience in my life was probably when a massive bookcase collapsed on me. Books inside. It funking hurt and I cracked some ribs. Plus I couldn't get out for a while because it was so heavy, so I had to crawl out.

[Someone Else]

I've got scars I don't remember getting.

BEAT DAT

[Caael]

I'm pretty lucky, i've never actually broken bones and had to go to hospital. The most major injury i've sustained was a dog bite when I was four, which has left an inch long scar on my arm.

That happened to my brother once seven years ago! O.o

I don't really remember any particularly painful experiences.

[Someone Else]

Not really painful, but I have a scar on the top of my right thumb. You might think it's weird but it's like a lucky charm for me. I like looking at while I'm writing something in class. Call me weird/eccentric.

[Moonear]

i was three and a chair fell on my foot. Two of my toenails completely fell off and my toes turned blue.

I also put my hand on a hot iron when i was two. I was crying the whole night

[Folcon]

Let's see, over the years I have lacerated my thumb on a meat slicer, lacerated my foot on seashells, got a hair lie fracture in my middle finger, banged my head on the corner of a desk causing a concussion, and have dislocated both of my shoulders and my ankle at some point.

[Ironsight]

escout, when I grow up, can I be like you?

My most painful experiance was at the dentist's, gettinga filling, wich will someday be replaced by getting a cap. I sound rather wimpy compared to you guys, thanks alot :P

[Someone Else]

Well I stepped on what must have been a little more than a 1/2 inch of nail. While I was bare foot. And it was facing upwards.

I get shivers thinking about it...

[Ironsight]

Biting a car seatbelt. My teeth still feel funny when I hear that noise it made

[Eugine]

1. While playing chase with my friends I fell down my house stairs and broke my right arm. I was about 8 IIRC.

2. I have a long scar on my right arm because of some incident I cannot remember.

3. I burst one of my veins on the same hand just last year when trying to jump over a fence. No, I wasn't about to steal ^^. Was because of something stupid.

That's about it. Other bruises not worth mentioning.

Other than that my painful experiences were never physical but emotional/mental :P

[TheEnglishman]

I've never suffered a broken bone, but I came close once. I jumped on a trampoline, but I landed akwardly and ended up putting a lot of weight on my arm. It hurt pretty badlt but I didn't break it. Didn't feel right again for a few days though.

[Toasty]

I've neve broken anything. However, I've had two 2nd degree sunburns. One last year, and one 3 or 4 years ago. NOT FUN. Itches like HELL, and when you scratch, is HURTS like HELL. It's probably the kind of torture you'll find in hell. The only difference being that in hell, it lasts a hell of a lot longer. The first burn made me cry. The one I had last year just made me very, very stressed out.

[Split Infinity]

The only incident I can remember was when I dropped an axe on my thumb.

The wooden end of the axe. Just thought I'd keep you hanging there, hehe. But yeah, my thumbnail turned a garrish blue colour for about a week and then just dropped off, with a new nail in its place. I didn't even know my body could do that. Pretty amazing. My left thumbail has been unusually smooth ever since. Did I mention it was painful?

[TheEnglishman]

I once dropped the wooden lid of a container that held teabags on my toe. Believe me, not all english people love tea.

That sounds pathetic! That can't have been painful!

Let's see, painful experiences... There are so many. When I was about five I was jumping on my parents bed and fell, hitting my head just above the left eye on something wooden and hard. I went to the hospital to get it fixed, and now I have a cool scar. I'm thankful I didn't hit my eye when I fell because I would have been blind on that eye afterwards.
About two years ago I was standing on a skateboard and holding onto a bicycle which my friend was driving extremely quickly. There was a bump in the road and I fell onto the ground but because of the speed we were going at I was sort of pulled across the ground. A huge patch of skin was completely torn off my right arm and it was all bloody. Now I have a huge scar there.

There were many other injuries, but I don't have time to type them all now. Another time.

[TheEnglishman]

Big wooden lid. It left the nail black for a few days.

[Someone Else]

I don't remember a lot of REALLY painful things happening to me. I mean, the one with the nail hurt a lot and there was more blood than I'd like, but I've never been hurt that much.

Maybe that's because I have common sense. :P I mean, no offense to anybody here.

[Moonear]

Muscle spasms SUCK!!! My leg twisted at a weird angle, then my calf started to contract and tighten until my leg felt like it was on fire.

[Caael]

I once hit my elbow on a metal radiator, and it was right on the nerve, and it felt like somebody set it alight. It hurt like hell, and because it was in class, I was sitting there, biting my tongue trying to smile.

[Nemphtis]

I was walking back home to get something I had forgotten when someone walked up to me, took out a nine millimetre and fired nine shots.I was shot nine times—in the hand (a round hit my right thumb and came out of my pinky), arm, hip, both legs, chest, and left cheek. My face wound resulted in a swollen tongue, the loss of a wisdom tooth, and a small slur in my voice.

The perfect topic for 50 Cent, hm?

[TheEnglishman]

You got shot? It makes you worry about the people around you doesn't it?
When did it happen?

[Aquamarine]

... I believe he was joking.

Bah, that happens to me all the time. The only difference is that I always let out a loud yell if it's a lesson.

I have this strange problem with me knee. Sometimes when I work out and then go to bed, in teh morning it'll hurt a lot. No idea why, I've never broken it or anything. It's always my right knee. About a week ago it hurt so much that I woke up during teh night(it was around 5 am) and (just barely)walked around the house, trying to fix it. Man, I never want such pain again... I couldn't even go to school.

[My Best Wishes]

Most painful experience in my life? Breaking my Acchillies or getting a cramp in my Calf. Not much serious happens to me.

[TheEnglishman]

Never mind then. :P
I don't think I mentioned the time a tennis ball hit me in the eye. It hurt like hell, but I didn't get a black eye. I'm sure I would have done if it was something like a cricket ball.

[Caael]

Lessons i've learnt the hard way: Scissors are sharp enough to cut skin.

[Nemphtis]

You imbeciles, I just described the famous story of how 50 Cent got shot nine times and survived. It's because of the shooting that he has a voice like that, you know, that annoying voice that sounds like a dying crow. I swear, how do you shoot someone nine times at close range and not kill him? Whoever that assassin was, he needs to find a new ****ing career path.

[Mindpatch]

Ran my leg into barbed wire, then ran on for a couple meters.. ripped my leg open from top to bottom :P

[Golden Legacy]

Emotional: death of my grandparents, leaving my family and baby sister behind for college

Physically: completely twisting my knee when I fell while I ice skating

[Platinum Sun]

My physically, emotionally, and all around most painful experience has got to be boot camp. Leaving home, and being away from it for months were definately the hardest parts. But it felt good to finish it and I feel that I'm stronger for it. Plus I voluneered, so I guess I asked for it.

[TheEnglishman]

I don't tend to get troubled emotionally. I don't mean I'm some sort of robot, just that nothing traumatic has ever occured that's left me feeling really bad. My Grandparents death left me sad for awhile but it's something that you come to terms with.

[Ironsight]

My brother just shot me in the arm with a tootsi-pop stick that had staples on the end. It was realy weird looking at that thing sticking out of my arm

[Toasty]

o.0;

[Ironsight]

The worst part of it was that I made that Projectile

I have no idea why people like 50 cents. Yeah, his first song was alright... but his whole career is based on that story. And that SOB is worth 1/2 billion dollars now :P

I winced when I read that. :P

I don't have a lot of emotional problems, and I think it has something to do with when I was really young, I took a lot of verbal abuse in elementary school. So, I had extremely low self-esteem and thought I worse than everyone else. The result, I've learned to just block my emotions. So now, verbal abuse doesn't phase me and in general my emotions can't be hurt, or at least, to a much lesser extent. The only downside is sometimes I just feel emotionless, like a rock.

I think the verbal abuse I got when I was in elementary was that I was taller than most of the kids in my class (the boys felt threatened), and you know how little kids tease the kids of the opposite gender that they actually like? I think that's what girls did to me, because I'm a good-looking guy like that. But elementary school is kind of a blur now...

I was in the same boat, only it lasted all they way through high school. The upside, all the **** I took has given me a long fuse, so it's hard to get me angery and I have more time to try and calm down before I do something stupid and reckless, like when I kicked a classmate in the nuts, right in front of the teacher. Of course, the teacher didn't know I was provoked, and all the other kids were being little ****s and wouldn't back me up. I was sent to the priciple's office, given a one week in school suspention, had my parents called, and was grounded for two weeks, would have been four, but I weaseled my mom to two when I told her what happened. God I hated elementery school.

[Caael]

You got grounded and suspended for that? I've done much worse and not get that treatment. Some guy behind me kept shooting spitballs at me about a year ago. I asked him to stop about 5 times, then flipped out jumped over the desk and started beating the crap out of him. People really do underestimate how strong I am.

[Wild Fox]

Elementary school is hard for everyone to some extent. I was teased a lot since I was the kid with the frizzy hair, glasses, and braces. But I feel like I'm a better person.

But we're all past that stage now and moving on to bigger and better things, right? :silence:

[Wiflewood]

Never broken any bones, fainted or had anything really painful happen to me.
Emotionally, same. I've had all my grandparents die in my lifetime, last was my grandma about a year ago, but it didn't really affect me too much, I just moved on.

Same here, except it was a guy throwing around my notebook. He just wouldn't give it back, so it's his own fault I beat the **** out of him in the middle of the lesson. In my anger I even grabbed a chair and raised it over my head to clobber him with, but I put it down and calmed down.

[My Best Wishes]

I cop a lot of **** but I haven't beat anyone up about it in at least 3 years. Maybe because both of the last times I tried I got smashed. Tried picking a fight with 5 guys, lost, and picked a fight in Home Ec when the guy was holding a knife. Not very bright sometimes.
How do you guys get through it though? It really gets me down sometimes.

[PDM]

:\ Some guy spilled soda on one of my friends, and didn't apologize. I confronted him about it and he was a complete asshole. I punched him in the face and knocked out 3 of his teeth. Was suspended for 3 months. After my suspension was over, I skipped, which caused me to fail the year. Now I'm taking it all over again!


That's the single most painful experience of my life. Having to take the year over again. ://

[Caael]

Get through what, Watch? Losing a fight against 5 guys, or somebody with a knife? Dude, nobody is dumb enough to take on 5 guys, unless they're Jackie Chan.

[My Best Wishes]

Well I was, this was a few years ago though.
I was referring to coping ****, not getting into a fight.

[Aquamarine]

How do I get through coping ****? I dunno, though I know I often don't cope with it. I let people know that if they make fun of me I'll make fun of them, or even worse. I just try to make the impression that I'm not a guy they can push around. The only people that can make fun of me are my best friends, and they can't do it too much either. Though sometimes I have to cope with **** too, of course. Everyone has to sometimes.

[Moonear]

Me and my friends were playing football once and some jackass 16 year old kids came and stole the ball. We tried to get the ball back for a while, but it didn't work. Finally my short tempered friend threw his size 15 shoe at one of the kids heads, and the kid fell and startd crying.(WIMP!) My friend got detention for a month.
The point is: Don't get worked up about crap, just calm down.

[Aquamarine]

I always get worked up about these kinds of things. Then I just can't stop myself from doing something I will regret later. Maybe I'm not the strongest guy around, but when I'm pissed off I'm no push-over.

Your friend shouldn't have gotten detention, the 16-year-olds should have.

[Toasty]

I'm kind of the same as WD as far as abuse. I've been putting up with **** since first or second grade. Most of the kids that did it back then are still doing it now. Some have actually become my friends, and others, though they aren't my friends, have become neutral. But all of that abuse has just given me more control over my temper, which actually used to be pretty bad.

But, as far as fighting or just takeing **** goes, I ONLY fight back if that person has, or is definately going to hurt someone I care about, or my family. Or if they hit first and don't stop. I've even been punched/hit a few times and not fought back. And even though a lot of people think I'm weak, it's only because I choose to not be stupid and show my strength through fighting, instead of to just say something like "Dude, calm down, you don't even have a reason to fight me." and walk away. Most of the time, there really isn't any need to be socking someone in the face. It's only because you/they only know how to settle things that way.

But overall, verbal abuse isn't a good enough reason to hit someone. And as for copeing with it, I can't say anything other than some learn how to and some don't. It really depends on your mindset, angle on life, and thought proscess. Basically, how you think will depend on if you can learn to cope with stuff or not. But you can always change how you think.

tell that to the idiots that run my school

[Nosferatu]

Some people need anger management. One guy accidently got hit in the head with a rubber ball the other day and beat the **** out of the kid that threw it.

[Eugine]

haha. Apart from those childhood fights I had, I'm pretty passive. Actually, there isn't any reason for anyone to fight me currently, I don't look for trouble.

I'm so nice =) ...

You're quite right about many of those things you said, but I look at it differently to you. Personally, I believe every person no matter how weak/strong or unpopular/popular he is should stand up for himself, even if it means that he would get the **** beaten out of him or would get into deep trouble. That's what I do.

When I was in fifth or sixth grade of Elementary school(I was something like 12 years old) a group of about five eighth-graders walked past me in the hallway of the school and each of them threw some crisps at me for no reason. At first I thought of ignoring it, but I just couldn't. I turned round and said, "What's the matter?" as threateningly as I could. I was ****ing scared though, back then I didn't know the first thing about fighting or sounding dangerous. They said a bunch of things like "Get lost kid" and stuff like that, but one of them said "**** you". I couldn't ignore that and I said "You too". All of them began hitting and kicking me, and all I could do was put my hands over my head and defend myself. A friend of mine jumped in and tried to fight them off(he was no match for them of course), and another friend stood in front of me and tried to talk them out of it, since he knew some of these eighth-graders. In the end, my body wasn't pleased with what I had done, but my mind sure was. They got detentions or something, my self-esteem rose and I became really good friends with the guy that jumped in to protect me. All is well that ends well.

Both putting up with these kinds of people and opposing them has its pros and cons, so it depends on your personality how you're going to react.

[Caael]

When you get to the older years, you dont get people who take the piss because everybody knows everybody in our year. If somebody in our year shouts out insults at us, we'll go over and pound them, and have a good laugh afterwards.

I've never been in any major fights, except when 2 years ago, every time I went up to one of my friends, he would make a joke about me in some way, or imitating that way I talked, and one day I just lost it. I almost smashed his head through a window during the fight, which I would have regretted as I would have to pay for the damage and it could have even killed him by cutting his air way. But we have a laugh about it now. I'm a much calmer person now, it will take a lot more than joking to get me angry. But even then, I dont go on a rampage and punching people.

[TheEnglishman]

I used to get angry but I'd never get into fights cause I always thought about how badly hurt I could get. Now people just tend to joke around with each other. Fights are extremely rare.

[R-dog]

Whenever fights break out at my school, people get arrested. I wish I was kidding.

I really haven't had any painful experiences in my life. At least, not anything that compares with what you guys have been through. I guess... getting my wisdom teeth out is up there for me. I was bleeding for a whole week.

[Viridian Tiger]

~Tis VT's prolonged return!~
I haven't really gotten any painful experiences at all, but maybe that's because I don't attempt anything or look for trouble. ^^;; Thankfully, of course.

[Toasty]

There's times when you should stand up for yourself, and then there's times where you should just walk away. On one hand, you show them, and yourself that you're not afraid of them, which in turn can get them off your back, while on the other hand, you show everyone around you and them, that you're so above that person that you don't even need to fight to prove it.

But which path you should choose depends on the situation. Every time I've chosen to not fight someone, they've ended up showing me more respect. Though it took longer for some, I've never regretted my descision to not fight them. But of course, there's always someone else to fill the place that the old person left open. In my case, that turned out to be two people. At least for this year.
