A secret I've kept since high school. It changed one person's life forever.

I was on the yearbook committee my senior year. There is something I did that I have never told a single person about. We had this tradition where seniors would write short entries about everyone, but I saw one that was full of cruel undertones. It was a final, public mean joke at the expense of a guy who had been bullied for years. The submission was anonymous, but I knew who it was from. It was a kid who always tried to make jokes to be popular. It felt so wrong. So I changed it. I did not rewrite the whole thing. I just carefully edited out the mean parts and made it neutral and kind. When the yearbooks came out, no one ever noticed. As far as I know, the guy never knew how close he came to being humiliated one last time. I was not sorry about what I did. Everyone deserves to have their high school years end on a decent note. I still think about it sometimes and wonder how he is doing. #HighSchool #Secret #Karma #Bullying #Yearbook #Kindness #LifeLessons #Teenagers #Memories
