A few months back, I finally stood up to this girl (I'm a girl too btw) who'd been bullying me since we were freshmen (we just finished our junior year). Anyway, we were at school in the second floor hallway when she started mocking me as usual. I was already having a bad day and just lost it. I did what I'd been dreaming of doing for ages and punched her in the face! She went reeling back towards the stairs and fell down them. And if that was all there was to the story, I probably wouldn't regret anything. But she broke her arm during the fall.
I was expelled because of this and had to finish out the school year at a private school that was willing to take me in the middle of a semester. I was also arrested and charged w/ assault. I have court tomorrow and I'm going to be sentenced to 30 days in juvie because of what I did (the lawyer my parents had to hire worked out a deal).
Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel terrible about what I did. I never meant to hurt her so badly. I just wanted her to leave me alone for once. I'm thinking of trying to get in touch with her eventually so I can apologize because so far I haven't had the chance. My friends and my sister all think I'm out of my mind for feeling so bad about this. They all say I'm getting a raw deal here. I don't know. Maybe I am. Should I apologize? Should I just leave this alone? I just wanna do the right thing here, y'know? I never imagined I would ever feel this guilty about anything. Or be in this much trouble.

ReplyThat bully got what she deserved, I know it's hard to not feel guilty but remember that she's been tormenting you for years. Meanwhile, you accidentally broke her arm, once. You simply defended yourself. You didn't do anything wrong. The world is so unfair, bullies get to do whatever they want and when someone finally defends themself, they're the one that gets in trouble. Don't feel bad for defending yourself.
You must be very kind to feel so bad about this. You don't have anything to apologize for, but if you can't stop feeling guilty about this then you should apologize just to get it off your chest. Contact her and just write something short about how you didn't mean for her to get injured and you are sorry she is hurt. And then let it go (this whole incident and your guilt) and leave this all behind you.
ReplyI do not think you are a bad person for what you did and she was your bully, so you’d be apologizing for the consequences of your actions rather than the intentions behind them. You just wanted to be left alone. Ideally, she would also apologize to you because in this situation no one is exactly the victim, but do what you feel is right. At least it should help settle some of the guilt you feel, especially if she accepts your apology. If she doesn’t, it is not the end of the world at all. As for being bullied for that long, I know that is traumatic and I wish you the best in healing from it.
ReplyYou're obviously a good person or wouldn't be questioning it and wanting to do the right thing. Yes she deserved what she got she had it coming for constantly bullying you. If it makes you feel better sure why not try to apologize. Sometimes people become friends after situations like that. But assault charges and juvie for that though? I don't think you deserve that because you can only take so much bullying til you explode believe me I know. Perhaps you'll both come out of this a better person.
ReplyApologize if it makes you feel better. That girl will think twice now before bullying anyone again.
ReplyYou don't need to apologize. Your bully never apologized to you and she got karma. I am sorry you have to go thru juvie and court and all that though! You are a strong girl! You can get through this! 💪
