Public Apology
I would like to apologize to my classmate, Louise Lim, for posting a very indecent picture of her here in Multiply. It wasn't my intention to hurt you, or for others to make fun of you. I posted it because I thought it was funny, and nothing else. I do not have anything against you, please do know that. I really am sorry. My actions were very irresponsible and insensitive. I didn't take into consideration how you would feel if you see the picture, and instead thought only of the tons of comments I'd be receiving if people see your picture. It was very selfish of me to do that, and I want you to know that I regret everything I did. I really feel bad, because I know I've hurt you so much, and there is nothing else I can do to take back the pain I, and those who commented, have caused you.
I would also like to apologize to the people who saw the picture and commented on it. I provoked you from saying unpleasant and disrespectful things, and I am really sorry. I should have been more sensitive and more careful with my actions.
I would also like to apologize to my friends, who also got into trouble because of me.
I had a choice, but instead of choosing to do good, I decided to choose the other one. And this is where it has brought me. I should have thought twice, thrice, or even four times before posting the picture. I realized that the fun I felt was only temporary. It only lasted for a few hours after posting the picture. But the pain Louise felt, and the embarrassment she went through, it will take a long time before she can finally say her wounds have healed. I didn’t think of that before, but now I do, and I am really sorry. I have done a lot of damage, especially to Louise. There is no one to blame, but myself. I, being Kirsten's friend, should have let her delete the picture upon seeing it. I should not have posted the picture, and I should not have let my friends get involved, and get into trouble as well.
Whatever punishment or sanction I will be given, I will accept it whole-heartedly. After everything I've done, I deserve it. I know this will make me change myself for the better and this will also be a learning experience for others.
I have realized my mistake, and I want you all to know that I am really sorry for what I did. I promise to never repeat anything like this again.
Thank you.
