(a little long)

So I have summer school and I've been going there for 2 days. My grades are bad and my mom paid for it so I can prepare for college too.

My scars are white and prominent (almost 3 years old scars)

so I wear long sleeves but I'm not sure if I can keep this up till August. It will only get hotter in July. I'm genuinely so lost it feels so draining to go there wearing long sleeves when everyone else is wearing short sleeves or tank tops that keep them cool.

One of my friends asked and I just made an excuse saying I had nothing else to wear but I can't keep this up people will connect the dots at some point. I know it's not like they'll kill me or roll up my sleeves forcefully but it's both physically and emotionally draining that I just don't want to go.

I want to study and get better grades and I absolutely wouldn't miss a day if I didn't have these disgusting scars on my arm that I did when I was 14. Not one day goes without regret. The frustration makes me crave self harming even more too but I wouldn't do it. I changed now as a person. I wish my body changed too.

Tldr: prominent scars, always wearing long sleeves, people will judge if I show them so not caring is not an option.

Do I keep going to summer school with long sleeves even when it's hot? Should i just tough it out?
