Okay you've tried to put that one 'mistake' behind you but your friends or family just won't let it rest. If your 'mistake' was something involving the law (drugs, etc)., believe me you don't have to respond. I'm just curious as to how you personally are dealing with that one little 'slip up' you've made and what you are doing to put it behind you.

Pursuing a major in college that I had no interest/ passion in. Wasted 2 years in fact, putting up for a worthless cause when my passion lay somewhere else...
Also I pretty much given up on school/ studying altogether when I finished high school. The mistake was I waited too long to get back to college (6 years).
By which time, age and finance were a factor. Some things you just can't change.
My mom was particularly harsh on me. She never let me live it down for some time.
It reminds me whenever I talk to someone who's doing well career-wise, that hurts the most.

I've forgiven myself. If i've put it behind me like you have but other people are still taunted by that mistake, it's only a reflection really of how much they care but of course it all depends on how they say it. Don't let other people bug you so much that you will start to give them power by proving them that they're right so you just go ahead and do it. Because in the end it's not them who will be suffering but yourself. Even if it hurts, stand on your ground and believe that you can do all things and you can go through this. You are a better person because you've learned from your mistake. It made you the person that you are and person that you will become. Make them wonder why you still smile and not give in to what and who they think you really are because you are a great person.

I drank way too much at a friend's birthday recently and passed out at the pub. When the bouncer woke me, it made me sick and I threw up everywhere - it wasn't a pretty site. Now one of my friend's thinks the story is hilarious and brings it up all the time, as the latest example of my drunken mis-adventures.
How am I handling it? Well her lack of tact, combined with my own embarrasment at that event (and a few other recent ones that are quite similar) has lead me to give up drinking. I haven't told any of my friends and family, because i'm quite sure that the majority won't believe me, or make fun of me. I've come to the conclusion that I'm too old to be waking up in the morning and cringing with embarrasment over my behaviour from the night beforehand. If I haven't learnt to drink responsibly by now, I probably never will!

I am constantly reminded of my "slip", society does not forgive and forget easily. This is something you must use to transcend the screw up. Use these reminders as motivation, don't go to the same "place" where the mistake was made. It will make you stronger and a better person.

Telling my best friend I loved him. That caused him to change, and to start treating me like crap, at least when everyone else is around. But I still love the person he really is, and my heart gets shattered over and over again every time I think of him. I wish I didn't love him, but I do. I get reminded of this every day, every hour, every minute. So yeah.

Getting married to a Violent, Nasty, Abusive Individual -- who was quickly an ex -- but to this day -- he continues to harass, damage my property, stalk, and just recently robbed my residence. That, and his mental illness carried over into the next generation (the children), who ARE the next generation of Abusers (because they not only started abusing me in the same way he did, but HELPED him rob my residence).

Not earning my college degree earlier in life. Because of this, circumstances forced me to re-enlist in the military. Should have gotten out when I had the chance.
