When I was in high school, I became a pushover geek. When people insult me or bully me, I never fought back. Now today I regretted that I never stand up for myself. I cannot forgive myself to let what others did to me. I want another chance to redeem myself so bad. I want to put myself in those same situations again except this time I do things right. I think if I don't have a chance like that I don't think I can ever call myself a man.
Hey, look in the past we've all done things we regret. we cannot go back and change them. The only thing we can do is make sure we dont make the same mistake in the future. High school is in the past for you and rather then thinking about that, you have to move on and forgive yourself for not standing up for yourself. Just make sure that you dont let it affect your life now, because then you really will have let yourself down, dont let other people intimidate you or put yourself down. And for the record how you are in high school has nothing to do with how much of a 'man' you are. Its about now, so be who you want to be and move on from who you used to be.
♥. Just another day like any other,
Nothing in the sky said run for cover,
There was no parade,
No lightsflashing,
No songs to sing along the way. ♥
Violence would not have solved your problems, they were the ones in the wrong - not you, so there is nothing for you to feel bad about. If you fought back that would just anger them more and lead them to be even worse to you. You did the right thing really, the only definite way to stop yourself being bullied is to do nothing that way they will get bored of you.
You cannot change your past but you can ruin your future by worrying for it!
its a fact!
now be prepared for future!
Yeah Sachin is right be prepared u can't change what has gone...
and yes it is said its never too late...
what is gone don't think about it and what ever happens it happens for good and if u see to from other side or u can say on the bright u will find some thing good in that..
and its true like from every mistake u can learn new things and also not to repeat same mistake..
and plz forgive yourself because forgiveness is better than anything...
just chill and make your present good...
I can only repeat what everyone else has said. The past is in the past. There is nothing you can do about it. Learn from the mistakes you made and move on in life. Everyone makes mistakes in life, it makes us who we are today and if we didn't make mistakes we would never learn anything.
I understand that when you look back on what happened, you don't like what you see but you have to stand up, not let it happen anymore and not let the past control you. Live in the present, not in the past. When I look back, I hate the person I was from about the age of 10 until 19 but I know that there's nothing I can do about it now and I just have to try to do things right from now on.
I hope this helps.

I will go crazy. Please help.
I have been and infact was, in the same sitation as you through out my high school years.
Think of it like this, you took the smart way out, you took what they had to throw at you, gave them nothing else to use by not fighting back and you've become a better person for it. It's the past, I'd say let it go, but think about it and it makes you a stronger person, or so I took my experience as. I admit that since I entered college I never had to really stand up for my self, Althought last week I did as for the first time in a while somebody pissed me off.
No I'm proud of what I did, but I pretty smashed the guys face, I didn't feel better for it at all. If you had of relaliated with violence the tables would of turned and you would of become the bully.
As for the ever call your self a man, that's just sensical, bull cookie nonsense. A Real man is not strong by beating the pulp outta someone, he's a bigger man than anyone else for staying strong through the worst people can throw at him and keep going. Infact i'd say your more of a man than most people for sticking through it.
To be honest i dont think the "look forward to the future and dont change" approach works.
just from now on whenever you go somewhere.. dont act like you think your a blokey bloke and look for a fight... its not a good look youll look like a dicksplash.
act casual but confident. if someone says something just say "excuse me what was that?" 9/10 times theyll say "nothing" in which case dont say anything back.
in the other 1/10 if they start being a asshole.. lean into their ear slowly and whisper horrible things... i dont know.. like if they dont get away from you in 10 seconds youll burn their family alive or something..... but make it long, detailed and calm... theyll think your a phsyco and leave you alone... problem solved!
but dont act like your trying to be hard its not a good look
by the way i dont endorse you telling someone youll burn their family alive in any way...
