Hey, dude, I'm not sure what you're trying to punish yourself for.

Fears can be faced and overcome, and habits that hurt people can be changed. If you really feel the need to write something a zillion times, I suggest you choose a sentence that helps you to move past these issues in some small way.

Hang in there.

finally, could you put most of the repetitions behind a cut? The repetition isn't helpful to us, after all. I support your right to do what you need to do to grow into a better person, but some people's computers make really long posts awkward for them.

Okay, I'm really sorry for being so mean to you. Please let me know if you want me to kill myself for my intolerance and bigotry.

I want you to be kind to yourself and let yourself be open to change. I want you to live and learn tolerance and choose to reach out to people who are different from yourself.

Instead of apologizing for being "mean" (you weren't mean), just take responsibility for your actions. In this case, that would mean editing your post to put most of those sentences behind a cut to avoid inconveniencing other people.

Other than that, I can't make helpful suggestions because I don't know what you did that you feel you need punishment for. I'm pretty sure that punishment isn't the best goal for you, however. Instead ask yourself what can you learn from what happened so that you do better next time? Facing your mistakes and learning from them is harder than writing some sentence 100 times, so it works better as a "punishment" if you feel you need one as well as giving you a chance to do better in the future.
