Many a problem of the average teenager could be solved if he or she were to buck up and directly address the problem by speaking to whomever such problem may concern or taking action to fix the problem. Maybe a little bluntness could help us all whether from others or from ourselves. Our lives are not all cupcakes and butterflies and rainbows and sprinkles. Let's not pretend that we can solve our problems with only these tools.
unless the problem is not openly admitted. It might not be something you can actually talk about and venting here is the only way to put it out there without screwing everything up. Sure, it could also be cowardice. But how much would it suck to be judged just for one word? no context, no explanation asked for or volunteered. You can think what you want about the person that posted this, but all of your comments show much more about you than the poster. Maybe think about what you assume about people--lots of times, those assumptions can hurt
If you're saying sorry here, I'd better there's someone out there who would much rather hear you say it. I know it can be hard to apologize to someone's face, but there's no better way to reslove a problem and show how much you really do care.

I hope you didn't feel better after posting this. It doesn't count if you don't say it.
Sorry? you can do better than that
Wow, harsh guys.
Un-Sorry
Anon 3- that's reality
Why does everyone think this post is about them?
wow you commenter people are douches. Have a shred of sympathy, or at best don't comment at all

There are many problems that can only be fixed by letting them be.
