I'm pretty sure you can sue your school for that. Armwarmers might help, or long-sleeved shirts. If they won't let you show them, they HAVE to be open to other possibilities of covering them. This really is discrimination. Maybe you should invest in another school; their prejudices might give you a biased education.

Wow, thats horrible. Thats discriminatory, in a way. Thats like pretty much saying if you had a skin disorder you couldnt go there because you dont look like the rest of the girls and you scare them. Thats straight up BS, but anywayyyy. Moving on, I cut for 5 years and my skins like white so you really cant see them unless im in the light but, they have this scar removal cream that you can put on and its supposed to reduce the noticibility of scars. You should go to a pharmacy & look for it & invest in some, if its really a huge problem.

Wow...you can get kicked out for being 'frightening' with scars? geez..
Anyway, a good start would be cover up makeup. I know it sounds weird to put makeup on your arms and stuff, but it does help. Also, if you can wear a sweater or something that hides the scars it'd help a lot. The scars will fade a bit in time, unless they're really deep, and when you're 18 you can talk to your parents and have them sergically taken off. Until then, I recommend long sleeves when possible, makeup, and to actually lighten the scars, Arnica Alleve organic flower oil can help. You won't see much lightening at first, but if you apply it once in the morning and once in the evening for a couple weeks, improvement should be seen.
Good luck with those...also, asking why you can get kicked out for something on your body might be an interesting thing to know about your school, especially since it effects you directly.
