Did I deserve this punishment?

[Anonymous]

A couple years ago (then a HS senior), I was a total jerk and humiliated a girl that had a crush on me. She accidentally left her journal and I stole it for 2 days, made copies of it, gave it to several classmates and made an ugly drawing of her with herpes. I was trying to get more attention and wanted to be popular.

It totally backfired. Only 4 classmates laughed while (including my 2 best friends) most were upset with me. To make long story short, I got drunk with my friends and they shaved off my eyebrows and parts of my hair on top was shaved (it had capital letters LOSER carved on top) while I was asleep. I had to still go to school and it caused some laughter.

Was that deserved? That was super embarrassing to be honest. I had to wear a cap for a while and wait for my eyebrows to grow.

In the end, I did got the attention and popularity I wanted but not in the positive way. For a while, they kept referring to ''oh the funny guy with the loser word on his head'' or ''the guy with no eyebrows''. It was so annoying and embarrassing.

Something tells me you're the girl who was embarrassed, and now you are an anonymous user trying to ask if what you want happening to this guy is justified.

Either way, what hypothetically happened to the guy is justified, although I'm sure he would have shave his entire head before going to school if that did happen.

No, this is just me telling the story of how I came to liking the girl in the end but lost. She dated someone else.

You deserved a lot more than that. Is sounds like you are a monster. Cruelty to someone who has never done you any harm is never acceptable. You permanently scarred that girl.

You need to reach out to that girl and give her a heart felt apology.

I did that a couple weeks before the end of the school year. By then, I already had recognized how much of a jerk I had been and swallowed my ego/pride.
Here is the sucky part: I did came to liking her in the end but it was too late. She accepted my apology but moved on. She dated someone else.

I lost someone good. I think that was more than enough punishment for me, seeing what I lost.

[Jamie05rhs]

Yep! You definitely deserved that shit. As a matter of fact, I'd say you got off easy.

[Asker]

So much for having my 2 best friends... only for them to be so upset with me for what I did to the girl and do something back to me.

[Jamie05rhs]

They were holding you accountable. You should be grateful to have people like that in your life.

[Asker]

This does have a sad ending too. At some point I did came to liking her but she dates someone else. I was sorry in the end but it was too late. I lost.

Well, you fucked up. Actions have consequences.
