Nothing too impressive. A scar on my face from falling face first onto concrete when I was like three, and one on my hand from where I stabbed myself accidentally about four or five years ago.

The location of mine is kinda specific: it's on my head along the hairline above and between my eyes. ...it doesn't make sense even to me.
Anywho! It came from when I was just a kid, and I was running wild and rampant in the house. I ran into the corner of a table that was head-high, and I cracked my head open. They said that when I did, looked like nothing happened. Then I start crying and blood started spewing out.
Sometimes I think this injury makes me forgetful at times...er...what am I doing here? Who are you people?!

I have several (small) scars on my chest, from when I tried to carry one of our cats indoors, against the will of the cat (there were stories of animal catchers in our area, so we wanted them to be safe). The front of my shirt was completely ripped apart, and my chest didn't look much better afterwards.
I have another, bigger scar on my chin, because about a year ago I went to my girlfriend's place by bike, carrying a foldable plastic box under one arm. The box slid down, I tried to get a hold of it, the bike started to swing slightly, and the box went under my back tyre, causing my bike to swerve. I reached the ground about five metres along the way, with bruises on my knees, elbows and palms, without my glasses, and heavily disoriented. I went back to get my back, then went back again to get my glasses, and again to get the box.
When I arrived at her place, she was sitting in the garden, having breakfast, and had a really shocked expression in her face.
I said something like "Sorry I'm late, I fell with my bike", and she ordered me to sit down and NOT move.
About that time I realized my chin was practically flipped open and blood was pouring out at a worrying speed.
It was stitched together again at the hospital, and healed quite well, but the scar might take some time to disappear, if it does at all.

One on my eyebrow after walking straight into a door someone was at the moment opening. Fifth grade was fun. That's pretty much all I got.
I was wrestling with my uncle when I was six and then, either my uncle threw me or this evil table attacked me... It had sharp corners and whatnot, and punctured my skull above my left eye at the end of my eyebrow... and the best thing was the doctor didnt even stitch it up. He used some sort of crazy experimental glue, and if it didnt work to come back for stitches... bloody doctor, using me as a guinea pig.
I have a teeny weeny scar on my hand where I was shot with a pellet rifle. It bled for probably 30 minutes and swelled painfully for the next few weeks.
Getting shot is highly unrecommended.

Good point, I was "experimented on" as well, but to a different degree. I was born prematurely and my lungs were under-formed. I was treated with the then experimental "bovine surfactant" to open and clean out my lungs. It saved my life. (sorry for the one-up, but it was relevant)Debirufisshu said:
- Two faint ones on my face, when I was very little a dog came over and pulled me out of my pram and bit my face, the scars will always be there apparently.
- Quite a few on my hands from playing with cats, one particularly long one down the bottom of my thumb from when she clawed too hard.
- One on my foot from July, was swimming in the sea, and then the current got too strong, it nearly swept me under a huge rock, but I managed to kick myself up in time.
- A small one on my shin from bike riding when I was little, I wanted to ride downhill, my older brother wanted to ride uphill, we didn't want to wait, so we clashed half way, I was thrown off my bike and into stinging nettles, it hurt like hell, I was only 6 at the time!

On topic: I have 3 scars. One in my knee when i went skimboarding (i hit a rock...), another on my elbow (i got that one from playing tennis!don´t ask :S), and finally a scar from surgery (Appendicitis).
Since this has got a good reception I thought I would talk about another scar. I was about 6 years old, when I got this one and it is the only one I have from being burned. So what happened was we had this lamp that had no bulb in it so of course I being the curious child I was decided it was a good idea to stick a penny in it. This did nothing so I decided to turn it on, that did cause it to do something and that something was to catch fire. Now I could have just left well enough alone and unplug the lamp but instead I decided to stick my right index finger in the flame. Needless to say this was bad idea, the tip of my finger turned red and started to blister, so it was a pretty bad burn.
I have a scar on my chin from when I tried to jump my bike off a wall and got into a fight with the pavement (and lost).
I have a scar on my right index finger from when one of my rats decided to try and steal a glove from me. I don't think he realized he was chomping my finger...
I have no visible physical scars. You can guess at what scars I carry underneath that, but I won't get into details on it. Kahlil Gibran put it best:
?Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.?
I show my emotional scars, but I don't tell where they came from. They're as much a part of me now as the rest of my unscarred self is.
Edit: To clarify, there's a reason why a few specific buttons will set me off like nothing else. I've had temper issues in the past and have gotten it under control for the most part, but these buttons are things that I simply cannot tolerate.
