I can't get over some of the mistake I've made in my life, and I really shouldn't be worried about Jr. High anymore because I am in college, but I can't help but to still feel horrible about.
Any suggestions?
It's not even bad stuff it's just stupid stuff

Reflect on it.
Understand why you did it, how it made you feel & what you have learned from it.
Accept that those actions helped you to become the bigger, better person you are today.
reflect, understand, accept.

Everyone makes mistakes in life. The thing to do is to learn from them (don't repeat the same mistakes), and move on. Allow yourself to be human. You are a good person for being able to recognize what you have done. Now go do some good for other people and try not to worry so much about it any more. Best of luck...

So you cannot get over the mistakes of doing stupid stuff, not even bad stuff ?
Just recognize and acknowledge that doing stupid stuff was just being young.
You did stupid mistakes because you were immature…then you learned from those and moved on and therefore grew.
Just think about it. What did those stupid mistakes taught you ?
You should concentrate on that.
Also, you might want to fix it (apology…whatever).

no point letting some stupid stuff from jr high eat ur head....its all just a part of life..we all make mistakes..some dum ones ..some serious ones...the most important thing to do if u think you hurt some1 : forgive urself..then tell them u r sorry..after that..u have no need to feel horrible...if no one was hurt, no point feeling horrible in the 1st place....go ahead n njoy life while u can...make the best of it and dont leave room for remorse..good luck :)

That is a good one. I've tried to over the years. I cannot ever stop. I will see a color, hear a tune, detect an odor, or hear a specific sound or phrase that will remind me of the bad things I've done. Forgetting and forgiving is easier said than done.
I wish I could let it go too.

Well, depending on what you have done. You could write to that person and ask for forgiveness and tell them you are sorry. You could call the person. But, if it was some stupid and you don't know where the person is forgive yourself and move on....Sometimes life is that way and maybe someday you will see the person and be able to deal with it then. Till then you know you are sorry and need to move on.....good luck

You are not the only one. We all have some grey areas in our lives that we dont want to remember. Whenever my past tries to resuface in my mind, I take comfort in affirming that my life belongs to the future and not the past.
Look at yourself in the washroom mirror every morning for about a week and say to yourself, "I dont belong to the past, because I have a bright future" Tell that to yourself until you believe it in your heart.
In case you still feel the same after that, discuss it with your close friend , relative and or probably see a professional counselor.
Wish you all the best.

We all do stupid stuff in our life. You'll forget about when you get older because there is so much more stupid stuff you will do, especially when you have children.
Forgive yourself for being stupid and immature, and never do it again. We learn from our mistakes, that's their purpose.

forgive yourself.
if you have hurt someone else, apologize to them, if that might help?
no you dont' need to be worried about what happened years ago, hon... it's not healthy.
focus on today and work toward doing the best you can in the future.... that's the best you can do!
and by the way, everyone has made stupid mistakes... you're not alone! hugs

u could try to think of what u have done...ask urself the reasons why u did it and try to remember that its only human to make mistakes. we all make mistakes and time is a great medicine. Remember the only mistake u may be making is living in the memory of the old mistake.

Everything in life is an "experience" - trust me! When you realize this, it's easier to let go... Without mistakes, you wouldn't be the person you are today! We all make them, and will continue to make them. Just make sure you learn by them & don't have a repetitive pattern!
