[quote=Anonymous]Good idea to look into the schools. But if you are thinking about possible issues your son might face because of his appearance -- and perhaps you are already doing this -- has your son seen a counselor/therapist? And was it recently? I grew up with a facial scar as well, and I wish I had been given the chance to talk about it with someone like that. My parents were great and supportive, but we never really discussed it, and I just never wanted to discuss it with them . . . so they took this as evidence that I was fine . . . At some ages it bothered me more than others, so keep in mind that however your child feel now, he might become more or less sensitive about it later. As an adult, I have no problems. And overall, a very happy childhood. But childhood/adolescence had some rough patches that I think might have been greatly ameliorated by more openess and discussions with parents and/or other trusted adult. Best wishes![/quote]
