It's okay. Accept that the feelings of whoever you hurt are valid given your behavior to them, and that time and better behavior on your part can change their opinion. As for those who pressured you, rise above them. Be better than they are. They are miserable too - happy people do not revel in the suffering of others.
Recognize that you made a mistake, forgive yourself, and simply be the better person you know yourself to be, going forward. You can benefit from your mistake by learning from it and using it to be better next time.

Start by owning your evil actions as being entirely your own choice. No one can force you to do evil; they can only present you with the temptation. You can not have peace so long as you believe other people can control you. Next, confess your sin to those you wronged, then confess your sin to God and ask for forgiveness in Jesus' name. Believe that you are forgiven, and move forward. If you are not in a right relationship with God, you can have it by repentance and faith. Confess every sin you can ever remember committing without excusing any of it. Ask for forgiveness and confess that Jesus is now your Lord and master. Be baptized right away - immediately at a local Christian church. Ask God to direct you to the right one.
In Christ,
Tom

Well, it is good that you realized you did something stupit/evil.
If you are born of God, born of His Spirit, cleansed by His Blood, joint heirs with King Jesus, part of the family of God...; Then the Holy Spirit convicts your spiritman of this sin. So, in 1Jn, it is written that if we confess our sin (to Jesus in prayer) He is just to forgive us this sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. It might not be easy, you may have to renew your mind in His Word, but Jesus promises to make you right.
There is none righteous, all have sinned somewhere. So we need to be made the righteousness of Christ. We can't do it. But Jesus paid the price. He shed His own blood for remission of our sins. When we are born of God through faith in Christ, we are made the righteousness of Christ. Once born of God, nothing we do or don't do will change that. When God looks at us, God sees the righteousness of Christ. So, when the Holy Spirit convicts our new spiritman of sin, we need to confess it to Jesus.
Remember that once you are born again, that you have to make the soul choice to follow after the Spirit. Resist the flesh (when someone pushes your buttons resist yelling & cursing, etc...), make the soul choice to follow after the fruits of the Holy Spirit; faith, hope, love, joy, peace, patience, truth, etc... The Holy Spirit won't force you to. You have to make the soul choice to. Remember, there is everylasting reward to those who build on the Rock foundation the Word of God (works rooted in faith, hope & love). The perishable works of the flesh will get fried.
Also religious felius has a good answer. But I recommend that you confess it to Jesus first, then if Jesus directs you to apologize to people you wronged to do so & ask Jesus to make it right for them. Always acknowledge to Jesus first, then Jesus gives you wisdom what to do to make amends with others you may have hurt.

Then, surely, thy Lord - to those who do evil in ignorance and repent thereafter and make amends - surely, after that thy Lord is Most Forgiving, Merciful.
