One day in 3rd grade I was in the 'jungle gym' area of the playground where they had monkey bars, swings, and assorted other crap. One of the kids who used to call me names and just give me sh** in general was swinging on the bars and decided to kick me in the back. I lost it and started beating the sh** out him. This kid got up crying and went to the principals office to report me. I got called into the principals office with the other kid there. I explained to him that I was kicked in the back and this douche principal wanted me to apologize to the other kid. It's like he didn't even listen to what I had said. I couldn't understand why I had to apologize when I didn't start it. Seemed completely unfair to me. I refused to apologize and ended up with a 3 day suspension which I enjoyed because I hated going to school. Anyway that kind of set the tone for the rest of my life. I just won't apologize for something that isn't my fault.
Yeah those apologies are stupid and when I was in 6th grade, I was being bullied by these boys in my class. I told them to leave me alone and they didn't so I started to hit them. I got in trouble and they didn't and they tried to make me apologize. I refused. I would do it if they did it first but because they thought I was the one who owed them one, I stood up for myself by refusing.
I never understood why the victim must apologize. That is like making a rape victim apologizing for kicking the guy in the balls and hitting him across the head with an item and escaping when he attempted to do it.
