Why is it that I have scars that have lasted since childhood that were caused by totally insignificant injuries, yet when I get really bad injuries now, the scars fade super fast? I thought it was safe to assume that worse injury = worse scar

Children typically have a faster rate of collagen production because they are younger and still growing. Their cells multiply faster, so the scars come out thicker and stay longer. Adults don’t typically have this “advantage”, as their cells have since slowed down, making scars less fortified.
