I want to bring up something that happened years ago
Oh really? Tell me about this.
A few years ago I bullied someone in 6 or 7th grade for his homosexuality.
It's good to tell someone your troubles. However, it's best to let go of things that happened in the past. I hope you feel regret for what you did.
I'm not sure. Some other researchers have proven that processing old events are a positive thing to do.
I agree, it's good to reflect back on old things to see how much you have grown. But I believe it's not healthy to continually let it consume you because we can't change the past. How about just letting this experience come as a learning experience, so you can be kinder to minorities next time?
