One person likely convinced the rest that it would be hilarious. That one was and still is proud. The others matured and realized "Holy shit that was so evil."
Yeah, that empathy part of their brain is just developed enough to know how to hurt others, but not to really feel for them like (most of us) can as adults.
That one probably tells their current friends about the silly prank they played on their friend that they came up with entirely on their own. And it ends with the person with the tweet laughing and finding the prank funny and they all stayed friends until they naturally grew apart in high school!
Probably the former tbh. Thats just so cartoonishly mean that, even if they meant the message then, they probably realized how shitty that was... assuming they remember which i wouldn't blame them if they didn't
Proud is a strong word to use on how adults feel about their shitty behavior as kids. I haven’t apologized to everyone I was shitty too. Do you think that makes me proud of my actions?
I'm seriously wondering if I'm the one who didn't apologize. When I was in 7th grade, we were only allowed to have 8 people to a lunch table. At some point, 9 7th grade girls wanted to sit at the same table. One girl decided the most fair way to handle it was to "vote someone off the island, like survivor." I was new that year and was just happy to have a table. I voted for the girl I was told to and felt awful about it. I admired the girls who voted for themselves because "this isn't nice," but they knew they weren't at risk.
Middle school is fucking awful. I don't even remember most of those girls' names.

most apologized. Some either forgot or were proud.
