This was back in elementary when I bullied the guy. I was a by stander, and yet I was their class president at that time. I guessed I was pressured by my peers, this resulted to the guy being an outcast and a blacksheep in class. The bullying wasn't physically more of emotionally, and I guess that's worst. The class created a division among us, I was aware. I didn't do anything even though I had all the power.
This day I actually said sorry to him just through chat. It's been 6 years already and basically I was opening up an old wound of him. I'm still thankful that I had the gut to say that to him. I hope my apology reached him. He still hasn't replied, I do understand if he's angry or not, I was a dumb kid back then. I just want to share this to all, I feel quite stuffy and burdened as of the moment but I think I did well today.

It's up to him to do what he wants.You felt bad & you apoligized so you did good.Your job is done.Relax & be happy :)
ReplyHey that's great. You let him know that you were wrong and you feel bad about it. Of course he's within his right to never forgive you--that's on him. The interesting question would be: if he replies something nasty, will your apology still hold? It should. In other words, you extended the handshake... even if he refuses you should keep it out there. Good job.
ReplyIt takes a lot of courage to do what you did!
He may or may not ever respond, and that's okay. If you reached out to him with good intentions and only wanted to acknowledge and apologize for the hurt that your behavior caused him, I think that's all you can do.
I can think of lots of kids that were mean to me in elementary school (and beyond), and I think if any of them reached out to apologize to me now, I would likely appreciate the gesture, even if I didn't respond to them directly.
Part of growing up is realizing that some of the things we used to do were not cool. You did do well today, and you should be proud. His reaction (or non-reaction) is up to him...you can only control yourself.
ReplyGood job on doing that. As a person who was bullied I only wish people who did stuff like that to me would reach out with apologies but I'm not gonna hold my breath. It's not fun being a black sheep.
ReplyIt took true courage to do this. No matter what he says, you should be proud of yourself for apologizing. When youre children, its hard to understand things, so that makes sense. At least you apologized. Hope things turn out well
