Relax man! Its great that you know that you are doing wrong things. You are young and supposed to make mistakes. I did so many crazy things when I was your age. I felt bad too. But I just stopped and became more mature.

Just don't be mean to people man. Be peaceful and don't follow stupid friends.

You could say sorry if you feel really bad. But anyway just chill out and I think it is very good of you to realise that maybe you were being and idiot. I was an idiot whan I was a teenager. That is what we do. When you are older you will laugh and remeber these times. Enjoy your youth!

Be a kid while you can man! Have fun, be kind, be honest, help people and just be yourself!

Read this book: The Catcher in The Rye by J.D. Salinger

Be well and promise ya won't feel guilty anymore. I am more than 20 years older than you and trust me it ain't worth it. Just stop being the way it is that bothers you, Don't grow up too fast man!

I applaud your desire to give up teasing. Many people excuse it, especially if it is done by young people. The hurt and psychological damage that is caused by it, however, can last a lifetime and affect people in a bad way for decades.

In a simplified way of thinking about it, negative karma can be balanced out by good deeds. If you cannot repair the damage you have done to others, you may be able to "atone" for your previous deeds by compassionate action.

Karma itself is both a Hindu and a Buddhist concept, and there are many approaches to earning merit (that is, decreasing bad karma). Mahayana Buddhists recite mantras or call on the Buddha's name. Tibetan Buddhists turn prayer wheels or hang prayer flags. Hindus urge bhakti, or devotion to a particular deity. Generally charitable actions -- like donating food to the poor or alms to the needy -- are accepted by all as meritous.

As you are 15, you probably lack the resources to make an independent donation to an organization. You could try, however, to volunteer your time at an orphanage or at a hospital -- or for any institution that serves the less fortunate. These organizations need help badly and would greatly appreciate your assistance.

There are also many places online where you can make free donations by clicking. Here is a site that has organized them into one easy interface: http://www.dailycharity.cjb.net/. More sites are available if you visit the site I've listed as a source. Spend a little time clicking, and the help you generate will no doubt benefit many people.

Best of luck to you!

Sorry I don't know alot about Karma, but fifteen is a bit rough sometimes to sort out such matters, that you've explained. However, let these bad feelings you now have be a guide towards your new you, so to speak. Sounds like you need time to focus on what you want to do with your future life. Happiness, and a lot of opportunity await you, if you're willing to work at it honestly. A lot of people are also willing to help guide you there if you let them. And as serious as that sounds, it doesn't mean you have to stop having fun. Community events are cool too, never know how good your skills are until you try. Trying new things and meeting new people just as yourself is a big possibility too. The worst thing that could happen at the Community events is you might make friends. Therefore, breathe, relax, learn, and enjoy life. You've dusted yourself off so to speak, now move on, and focus on your new goals, smile
the world is a beautiful place.

Yea, we all did that, you're NOT unique if it makes you feel any better, You're going through a rare change in life that affects a lot of us, it's called "Growing Up". It's when all of a sudden you realize that you were wrong to do that to other people, don't worry, it comes back in spades at you !!!! The fact that you realize that you were wrong is a big step, I know, I was just like you, you feel bad for the person, afterwards. Thats because inside you there is a "heart", and that you actually are NOT the person you think you are, You're evolving because you are really a good person (Good ALWAYS wins over Evil but, evil Never gives up). I try to give back to society for the destruction that I did, (used to drink a lot, and be mean to people, just destroy everything, including myself). Try what i did
Practice Random acts of kindness to strangers, and animals. You'll get your chance to make it all "Right", don't worry ! last summer I was near the Bay, NOT DRUNK, feeling a bit lousy about my life, when I spotted a young boy in the water screaming for help, bleeding and injured, NOBODY AROUND AT ALL !!!!! HOLY MOTHER OF GOD !!!!!!!!!!! I went out there and saved him from drowning, called 911, and SAVED HIS LIFE ! Good thing I was'nt drunk huh ???? Things happen for a reason my friend ! I also feel a lot better about myself now, I have'nt had a drink in years !!!!!!

First of all I congratulate you for realizing and admitting to yourself that you have done something wrong. You really can get over this and feel happy about yourself. There are only two things to do.

1. Do whatever you can to reverse the effects of what you have done. Whatever is possible. If you can't do anything, don't worry, just pray for them and send them love, health and happiness through intention.

2. Forgive yourself. This is very very important. Understand that it is ok to make mistakes. Everyone does, and that's the way we all learn. It doesn't make you evil or anything, you are just human, and it is ok to be so.

It is a very good and rare thing nowadays to realize and admit ones mistakes and try to put things right. Surely God will forgive you for what you've done. Just make sure that it doesn't become a habit again.
Best of luck!

Karma is never unrepairable. Never. There is ALWAYS hope.

You reap the consequences of the actions that you have sown, but once you begin to feel compassion and behave in a different way, you will reap different results.

Compassion means "feeling with." Try to see how others feel, and to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Identify with others.

Karma is like a cosmic law of action and reaction. How you behave makes you the person that you will become, and creates your future.

You can start over, and take a new path at any point.

You live and learn. You repeat each lesson, over and over, for as long as it takes, until you are ready for the next. You learn and grow until all the layers of error and illusion are worn away.

You might want to consider sticking up for others who are being picked on, or stopping it before it starts, if you can. That is up to you, simply a suggestion.

When you slip, try to remember how you feel now, and stop. Start over, and do better.

Good luck to you. :-))

If I see ONE more person suggesting a shrink!!! If you you were a schitzo I would suggest a shrink...but I think that it's great that you already realized this...and that you want to change. Just stop, maybe if you don't have issues with apologizing, apologize (highly unlikely to happen at your age) just be a good kid from now on...don't drive yourself crazy over the past...random acts of kindness might help cancel out (if that makes you feel better) the wrong you've done.

I wonder why the sudden change. Did the kid commit suicide? I really hope that didn't ever happen to any of your victims, yet. If the answer to that is yes,...I suggest doing better in the future...A very powerful way to heal and redeem yourself for a better karma would be, by helping those who are victimized by bullies. If the answer is no,...the suggestion stands.If this still doesn't give you peace, try becoming a born again Christian and repent, repent, repent!

Have you ever seen the TV show "My name is Earl"? It's the same thing as what you described. What the guy did to repair his karma is he made a list of all the people he'd hurt and then he tried to figure out what he could do to make things right with each person. Of course, if you've been a jerk to a lot of people you'll have to go through the list slowly as you have to truly make things right with each person.

I think that you've made a remarkable step in just knowing you need to grow and change. Karma is many things. Its both a day to day reaction to your actions, but its also a life to life reaction to how you live and treat others. Karma balances itself by the selfless acts of good you do for others. Your karma increases positively when you do good for others knowing no reward is coming. It is said in Hinduism that doing good deeds for karma's sake will not result in good karma increase. Nor will doing good when you dont want to help.
