Well, it's not poisonous or anything, so don't freak out yet. Yup, you have to tell your parents. If there's an actual piece in there, they can probably fish it out at the emergency room. Either way, she'll have a small gray spot in her arm that'll likely last for years and years - the graphite doesn't really dissolve or anything - it's like a tattoo.

its graphite right cause if it is u r fine. i ran into a pencil in third grade and the graphite went in the pqalm of my hand about an inch deep. im now in 11th grade and its still there. nothin bad has happened because of it.
you can try to soak it in warm salt water
if its really really deep just get it chec out. it shouldnt cause much damage

I would tell your parents, but I'm not sure there is much they can do. I once stepped on a freshly sharpened pencil and it went up into my ankle. Its still there, but it's been atleast 5 years and I'm fine, so I don't really think its a big deal.

call ur parents or 911
unless these are pencils made in 1900's there isn't anylead so it's not poisinous. Graphite isn't poisinous. I would suggest 911
