My teacher saw me writing bad stuff about her, what do I do?

Question

So it was computer time, and I was really bored.
So I started typing in notepad and writing really bad stuff about my teacher.
I really didn't mean it, I swear.
But then, she found out about it since she can see everything we do in her own computer.
Now she's really really mad at me and she might badmouth me to other people.
I said sorry and she said she forgives me already.
But still, I feel really bad about it. I don't know why I did it.
Now, other teachers might have a bad impression on me too.
I feel really really bad.
What do I do?
I want everything to go back to normal again.

Answer 1

Don't do anything about it. It will blow over as long as you don't continue to be a troublemaker. Then, this will just be one more bad thing for them to tally. If you aren't a troublemaker then don't even worry about it. Teachers are used to this crap and most of them have had bad things told to them to their face. Most people also understand that young people do stupid things for no reason whatsoever and are usually pretty forgiving about it. Don't try to kiss up or make up for what you did. Just go about your normal business and stop feeling so bad about it because I guarantee that you feel worse about it than your teacher does.

Oh yeah, for future reference, NEVER write anything down you don't want another person to read, no matter how much you think nobody will ever read this junk anyway.

Answer 2

Here is the best thing that you can do.

Sit down and write an essay, describing this incident, why you did it, how terrible you felt when she discovered it, and how you wish that you could undo it.

Then continue by writing all the wonderful qualities about this teacher, why she is a good teacher, how she has helped you learn, and how the things you wrote were actually the complete opposite of what she is like.

Then finish it by explaining how kids try to be funny and entertain themselves by doing and saying stupid things sometimes, even though they don't mean it. They hope it won't hurt anyone, but in your case you forgot that the teacher could see your screen, and your words probably hurt her more than you ever intended. Say again how you wish there was a way to undo it and how sorry you are, and that everyone should know that it was nonsense that has no basis in fact.

Take your time writing it. If you can, hand-write it. (Draft what you want to say on the computer, then print it and re-write it by hand. It will mean a lot more to her that way.)

Then hand it to her after class one day and once again, tell her you're sorry and you hope this helps explain how sorry you are.

I GUARANTEE that not only will she be appreciative of it, she will RAVE about it to other teachers, who will gain a sincere respect for you.

Seriously. It takes courage to admit you are wrong, and even more to put it in writing. And by letting her know the good qualities that see in her as a teacher, it will counteract the hurt that she feels, that she has not connected with you as a student. That's all teachers want. To know that the effort they are making is making a difference in their student's lives. You took that away from her. This is the way you will give it back.

Do this essay and I promise you, things will absolutely be better.

And just don't ever do that again, OK? I know, I did stupid things too, some of which I really regret. But hopefully you learned from this. Not doing it again will go a long way to winning respect from teachers.

Writing this essay on your own, without being forced to do it, will be the single best thing that you can do to win back your respect from her.

Answer 3

Aww, that seems like a difficult position to be in. Maybe you should apologize again, but this time in a letter, or phone call. Be more serious about it, and let her know how stupid you feel and that you were just being immature and screwing around. And in the future, just be careful with the things you write on your computer, or anywhere. You are in school, and people are around you. You can't just do whatever you want like you were in your own room. Writing bad things about a teacher is not a smart move..And especially today with all of these crazy zero tolerance rules, people will take it the wrong way, even if it was just to be funny. So, please, just be careful. Show your teachers that you respect them through your behavior.

Answer 4

First, hopefully your teacher isn't unprofessional enough to bad mouth you to your peers. It wouldn't surprise me, however, seeing how over the years pickens have become so slim they'll let anyone be a teacher. You've apologized, there's nothing left to do. She'll get over it before you do, especially if you told her you didn't mean it. You could explain yourself in a letter to her if your comfortable doing that. You could say more without the awkwardness of being in the hot seat face to face. That would do alot. Just make sure you keep it on a high level and nothing is written that could get you in trouble.

Answer 5

hm. That sounds like what I do in Computer Class. I think that you should maybe try to say sorry again. and if other teachers get a bad impression of you than let them. if you are really a good person and you are sorry they should realize that they have different thoughts about you. I hope that I helped! have a good day :)

Answer 6

So, if you didn't mean it, why write it?

If you found a website all about your faults, real or perceived, you would be quite acceptably upset about it.

Grow up a little, remember badmouthing people not only hurts them but makes you look an idiot too.

Answer 7

Unfortunately, there's no way to turn back time to return to "normal."

The good news is that you've learned a valuable lesson and perhaps you'll think twice before making such a mistake in the future.

We all have to live with our mistakes.

Answer 8

Well you sound really upset and worried about it, so tell her. Write her a letter or something like that explaining how sorry you were and you didn't mean it, you were just bored or whatever,

Answer 9

You apologized
You feel badly
She has forgiven you

Sounds like theres not much more you can do. Maybe you could reinforce to her that you are truly sorry, and ask her if she intends to pursue this matter further. Convince her that you have learned your lesson, and ask if there is any way you can make it up to her.

Answer 10

Just don't worry about it.
Ask the teacher not to tell any other teachers about it and tell her that you really really feel bad about it and that you didn't mean it.
If she's a nice teacher she'll forgive you.
