People Who've Been Hurt With a Pencil Share The Lead Mark And Story Years Later
This is like a schoolyard gang tattoo.
A tiny pencil poke can leave a mark that sticks around for years, and this story is full of people proving it. What starts as a schoolyard accident often ends up as a permanent little graphite souvenir, which is exactly what made this thread so oddly satisfying to scroll through.
After Twitter user @Los_Writer asked people to share their pencil-stabbing stories and show the marks, the replies came in fast. The photos all look strangely similar, but the stories behind them are what make the whole thing memorable.
Some of these marks are tiny, some are dramatic, and a few have clearly outlived the original injury by a long shot. Read on.

LOL, SO TOUGH!
HOW?
That is a lot of graphite for one childhood mistake.

Sounds like a douche, TBH.
Some scars fade, but these pencil marks clearly did not get the memo.
