mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa #3

Everyone probably has someone they wish they could apologize to about…something. I like to think that I’ve been a pretty kind person overall, but I know I’ve had my moments of awfulness. I might be smarter than a lot of people, and funnier than a lot of people, but I’m definitely not one bit nicer than I’ve had to be.

Today, I would like to apologize for the following sin.

8th grade. My friends and I were horrifically mean to a girl who just wanted to hang out with us. We threw things at her, called her names, made fun of her looks. I felt bad about it even then, just not bad enough to make everyone stop. Following the crowd at its worst.

I’m nicer now, right?

Right?!?
