Demanding an apology and then saying if they do apologise it won’t be genuine because we demanded it...... Check your own mental health, what is the real issue here? Are you just offended to because you enjoy the offense? The controversy? Hating on people?
Are you actually offended for yourself or just jumping on the band wagon? Do you need these friends so badly, that you can’t form your own opinions?
People grow, and not just from 17-21 years old, genuine, honest people continue to grow throughout their entire life. They aren’t afraid to admit they are wrong, even at an older age. They aren’t afraid to change their opinions either,
Especially when faced with new information or new situations that make them see something in a different light.
Holding on to things from years ago is destructive, mostly to your own soul, you’re the one who has the issue, not the other person. Take a step back and look at yourselves. Seriously do it..... you are going to look back at this shit in 10 years and realise,
You will have (hopefully) grown and the future you will embarrassed and apologetic for what you’ve said in the past. You will see just how ridiculous you actions have been.
Lastly, do you have siblings? Did your parent/s ever demand that you apologise to them for something you did or said? Maybe a classmate and a teacher? How did that make you feel? Was your apology genuine or forced? I hope you all grow up into nicer adults.
