Screen scratching issue

The bottom part of my screen i.e the plastic section just below the class screen of my MacBook m2 air is continually scratching and even threatening to break off. It has just been one year of usage. What’s wrong

MacBook Air, macOS 14.0

MacBook Air m3 Plastic edge below screen turning white The edge of the plastic just below the screen is discolourising and turning white. Is this a normal occurrence? I was unaware that it was painted black instead of a black plastic. Since I have noticed it my attention is drawn to it every time I try to avoid it. It is now quite an annoyance.🥲

Weird scratch looking line on screen, without feeling like a scratch on mac book 2021 macbook pro 14' has developed these weird scratch like lines on the screen, however the scratches don't feel like scratches, and won't clean off. One of them is so bad that is even affects the displays of the screen. Is this fixable? I am not sure how this happened, I don't use key covers or anything so it's not like it could have gotten scratched, I just opened up my mac today, and noticed it. My biggest question however is how fixable this issue is.

external damage to macbook air hinge A while ago a small pebble or some other kind of debris was caught inside the hinges of my MacBook air while I was closing it, causing some cracks. the screen still worked with no issue for a long time until recently, but now the screen blacks out at random, usually when the screen is moved, meaning there's some permanent damage to inner workings of the screen, what should I do and what kind of repair does this fit under?

It's thin somewhat delicate plastic and it's a replaceable part.
