I was one of two white kids in a school of Mexican and blacks. I pissed off a cholo, and walking to class my junior year, one of his friends came beside me and tried to stab me in the ribs. He missed and hit my arm right next to my elbow. Ran off before I even knew what happened.

Stabbed myself in the hand with a pencil by mistake when I was little. I still have the piece of graphite sitting just under the skin now.

Same. I had a sharp pencil in my pocket in elementary school sticking upwards. When I went to put my hands in my pockets, I poked myself and the pencil clung to my hand when I pulled them back out.

I used to have one of those, but some time in the last ten years or so it disappeared, and I have no idea when that happened.

Stabbed myself through the leg with a saber after tripping on a log in the woods, as an idiot teen. Luckily missed the artery.
Limped home, made a tourniquet, poured peroxide on it, then poured the rest on my pants, then superglued the wound because I'd be damned if I was going to tell my parents or leave any evidence. Walking normal and prentending everything was fine made for a shitty month.
Oddly, the pain didn't feel like you'd expect. It wasn't "sharp", piercing, or anything similar to a normal cut; it felt like blunt damage from a sledge or something- deep achey pain like a broken bone.

You just waited until it healed?
Any permanant consequences?
Amazing.

Yep and nope. Had to keep a straight face and not limp, but I played it off. Kept going to school and work. After the first week it became easier, and was totally healed after a month or so.
No lasting effects, even the scar is difficult to find. Happened almost twenty years ago.

That's very interesting.
Our bodies are amazing in their ability to heal.

What about people who have shot or stabbed someone else? Asking for a friend...

Yeah, I got stabbed in a fight I was in, about seven or eight years ago. Me and buddy were getting a drink after work and he told me he and some other guy had been fighting over a girl. Just so happened that guy he had been fighting with walked by the restaurant and said a bunch of stuff to my buddy and left, and when we went outside the asshole had slashed all four of his tires. We wind up running into him later on, and my friend immediately went up to him and it got physical. The other guy over powered him and pulled out a knife and that’s when I got involved in jumped in to try to help. The guy ended up getting me in my left arm pretty good.

I was grazed by a bullet when I was about 10. I needed a few butterfly stitches afterward, no big deal.

Closest I've been was taking an airsoft pellet to the white of my eye at about twelve to fifteen feet. It made that half of my eye blood red for weeks.

I tried to stop a guy from closed fist beating his girl and the girl stabbed me in the stomach for my efforts.
