I was in the 4th grade. At some point when I was messing with a pencil, I slammed my hand onto it as it was pointing upwards and without knowing it at the time, the lead broak off inside my hand. My hand started bleeding so I raised my hand to get my teachers attention but since she was in the middle of talking about something she told me to put my hand down. She kept going on and on so eventually I just stood up and announced to the whole class "I stabbed myself. Can I go to the nurses office please?". After the nurse looked me over, he put a bandage on my hand and sent me back to class. A while later after the wound healed over I realized it was there was a dark dot under my skin and showed my mom. She told me Id be fine and it'd just dissolve in a few months. Fast forward to today, many years later, I still have lead in my hand. I was shocked when I read the title of this reddit post, I had never realized so many other people like putting lead in themselves. Anyways, I don't mind it being in my hand, it's not causing me any problems, and at the very least, it's a nice ice breaker.
