I want to apologize to the girl I used to bully.
I want to apologize to the girl I used to bully.
I want to say sorry to the girl me and my friends used to exclude in middle school. When I started middle school I met new friends, including the girl. I can’t remember how it started but I know that we didn’t have a reason to do this. We (my friends) excluded this girl and did stuff to her that made her feel excluded those three years of middle school. Even though I didn’t do anything directly myself, I was apart of it and want to apologize to her. It’s now been a year since we graduated from middle school, and I’ve been thinking about her a lot recently. I knew what we did was wrong and I regret what we did deeply. Even while it was happening. I was a coward who didn’t want to speak up, afraid to ruin my friendships with the other girls. She blocked me on snap a few months after we graduated, which I 100% understand. I want nothing more than to apologize to her and tell her how sorry I am for how I treated her those three years. Should I reach out to her and apologize for what I did, or should I let her be without ruining her teenage years further? I don’t want to apologize for myself or to give myself closure. I truly want to apologize for what I did because I was a terrible person. I’ve grown a lot these months and realized that I should apologize. I need advice for how I should approach this, and if I should apologize at all.
