She also said that if I were to bring this up on the infront of everyone, some might not want to remember, or it might just make them feel worse to be remembered by the letter. So...What do you all think? Here is the letter that I wrote (It feels better to let it out in the open.)

Dear Students,

I would like to apologize to anyone whom I have bullied in my past years of school. I hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. I sincerally apologize for any rude comments that I have said, and any rude actions that I have taken in the past. I wish you all love and happiness in your lives.

I somewhat agree with your MOM on this. I think writing a letter to a couple people and giving it to them could be beneficial to them, but I don't think you should feel obligated to make a formal apology over the school PA. This could backfire on the people you are apologizing too, and may even backfire on you.

Another suggestion I had is to check out a website called "PostSecret.com" You can always make a card for them and send it in to post secret and allow yourself to let it go. I've actually done this with something that was really bothering me and it did help quite a bit. Even better, it is anonymous and doesn't cost anything.

Just another suggestion...

Take care.
