So, I have a 13-year-old character in my story that reached a self-harming point in his life and drove a 1940's pocket knife almost all the way into the front of his right leg. How long would that take to heal? And afterward, how long would it hurt? Sorry if this sounds a bit morbid..I promise it has a really good ending ^w^
