These questions are tough, but answer honestly, otherwise--what's the point?
What's the worst thing you have ever done to someone? What do you consider it the worst thing? What were the consequences/rewards to doing this thing? Was the sacrifice (doing something awful) worth the reward (whatever you got out of it)?
What's the meanest thing you have ever said to someone? Why did you say it? What was the outcome?
If you could go back in time and have a "do over" for either of the above worst things, which one would it be? Why?

The worst thing that I have ever done to somebody was talk about somebody´s personal life and made fun of it. This situation was the second worst thing I could of done because I spoke on things that were sensitive and should of never been said. The consequences that I got from this was my phone being taken from me for a couple of weeks. I feel as though it was worth the sacrifice because this person first had made comments about me and my personal life. The meanest thing that I have ever said to someone was my mom and I told her that I hated her. I honestly don´t remember why I said that to her but it resulted in me not having a phone... again. But if I could go back in time and have a ¨do over¨ it would have to be what I said to my mother. This is because my mom sacrificed a lot for me and made everything possible. She treats me good and gets me anything and everything that I want and no matter how mad I am at her those words should of never came out my mouth.
ReplyDeleteI cant think of one specific thing I would consider the worst thing for only one person, but the worst thing I would say I've done is I've been happy about someone's downfall who I dislike or wished bad fortune on someone. If I dislike someone and something bad happens to them, I most likely won't feel bad for them in that moment, but after a few months when it crosses my mind again, it'll bother me. It's the worst thing to me because nobody should wish bad upon someone or be happy about their downfall because of their dislike towards the person. Everyone has their own issues and it doesn't mean they deserve to have terrible things happen to them. I don't think I got any rewards physically, but I was momentarily happy about their downfall and the consequence is the guilt. I rather not be happy momentarily and feel guilty for twice the period.This isn't even a one time thing, every time I dislike someone this happens and after a while, I feel bad for thinking like that and it bothers me. The worst thing I've said was probably to my parents. I don't remember what the argument was, but I said something like "if you couldn't handle having a child, why'd you have me?" I know I said it when I was crying so I had to be hurt and super upset to say something like that. The outcome was me again feeling guilty afterward for saying something that hurtful to people who sacrifice so much for me. In most situations, I don't ever physically face a consequence, it's usually my own guilt eating me up which is the worst consequence of all to me. I'll randomly think of moments and it'll start to bother me in the inside. If I had a do over I think I'd choose to stop wishing downfall on people I dislike because if I'm being honest, I probably don't like them over some stupid stuff, just like most people. It really is a terrible thing to wish that someone else is unhappy because eventually, karma catches up somehow and if you're like me, your mind messes with you for the longest time.
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing I have ever done to someone is probably get physical with them. I mean, does my sister count? We don't do it much anymore, except for when we are being petty, but when Alexa and I were younger, we would fight. Like, physically fight. I have memories of us wrestling on the floor, pinching and slapping and kicking one another. I consider this the worst thing because I am so against physical fighting. It went both ways, but hurting someone is never the answer. At least I know this now. We would fight quietly so we wouldn't get in trouble. However, if we were caught, my mom would send us to our rooms. We didn't have electronics at our age so she couldn't confiscate them. Positively thinking, the reward to fighting was that neither of us did whatever got us mad again. I don't think the sacrifice was worth the reward. Regardless, in the end I still hurt my sister. I think she still has scars from me to be honest. We probably could've worked it out with words instead.
ReplyDeleteThe meanest thing I ever said to someone was when I said something about their appearance. In my defense, I did this because this girl criticized my looks and the way I dressed every single day. I had enough, and once I did say something, she kept quiet for the days that followed. She never made an effort to point out the way I looked again, so I guess she got the point.
If I am being honest, I really don't feel guilt for saying what I said to my “friend.” For years, I dealt with her constantly degrading me as a person. I always let it happen, and never defended myself. I actually felt good when I did say something, because it had been bottled up inside of me for so long. I know it was wrong of me to stoop down to her level, but it made her stop and because of that I don't feel shame. As for fighting with Alexa, I feel like it was just part of our childhood. Like every siblings, we fought. I think it was out of innocence, and we don't hold each other against it today. If I had to choose, I would have a “do over” with fighting with Alexa just because she is my sister, and family comes before friends to me.
Thinking about the worst thing I have ever done to someone is tough because I never really had too many physical conflicts in my lifetime. But probably the worst thing I've ever done to someone is saying some mean stuff and actually meaning it. I’ve never really hurt anybody so the worst thing I have ever done is in the verbal form. Usually when I talk shit or say something it’s a joke and the person I’m saying it to knows that or else I wouldn’t say it. But there have been a few times where people have said some mean stuff to me and I felt the need to retaliate with words of my own and actually mean it. I can’t really remember the specific times or what I said but I know it has happened before and It doesn’t really happen anymore. I don’t like doing that but when someone says something that’s out of line and offensive to me I’m not just going to accept it.
ReplyDeleteThis was the worst thing I have done because of the damage and power that words have. Before I said what I did I should've thought of the impact that my words could have had. The consequences are losing friends and feeling like an asshole and regretting what you said. After saying something bad to someone after awhile you realize it was in the heat of the moment and you shouldn’t have said it. Sometimes the damage you cause with your words can’t be forgiven by the person and you lose a good friend or family member because of something stupid. A lot of us can’t filter what we say when we are younger, but after saying some regretful things in my life I now watch what I say because I know the damage words can have. There aren’t really any rewards to what I did except for defending myself when I felt threatened.
The meanest thing I’ve said to someone is I hate you and that was to my sister. When we were younger we always fought and couldn’t get along and we both have said some harsh things to each other over the years. This was the worst thing i have ever said to her though and I think she has said the same thing to me. The reason I said this was probably over something dumb that we both can’t remember. The result was probably the silent treatment for a few days and some tension but we eventually got over it. As we got older we realized we were being petty and actually became really good friends. We will always have each other’s back and be there like family should. I am really glad that we have such a good relationship and can always count on one another.
If I had a do over I would redo my first one because what I said to my sister is in the past and forgiven while the other was not. I have stop talking to a few people just because of some stuff that was said that was unnecessary. I would take back what I said, be more mature about it, and possibly still talk to them. Just know words are powerful and can really do some damage.
This is a hard blog response for me. Because I’m somebody who usually keeps negative comments to himself. My mom taught me if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say nothing at all. Treat others the way you want to be treated. I've learned that I've done that more than once in my life. So as far as the worst thing I've ever done to someone, I can't recall anytime when I did something to someone that was terrible. I mean, unless you wanna count the time I beat my brother in NBA 2K so bad that I made him quit. The result was that he just ended up being really mad at himself for the rest of the day. He didn't even want to play 2K with me for the rest of the day after that. If you ask me if it was worth it, hell yeah it was worth it.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the worst thing I ever SAID to someone, that I can recall. It was sophomore year in the old Italian program, when there was this kid named Keith Garcia. Anybody who knew Keith knew he could be a bit of a smug little asshole at times. And one day, I don't know or remember what I did to make him say something about me, but he just said something that rubbed me the wrong way. And I wasn't going to take that lying down. One thing to point out is that Keith always wore the same shirt everyday. And for some reason, he was wearing a new shirt this day. So I said, “Haha that's real funny Keith. I see you're finally wearing a new shirt today.” Afterwards, I don't know, but he seemed to realize not to mess with me or I'll just keep coming crazy at him. Moral of the story is not to mess with me because I got clap backs for days.
If I could back and change either of these two things, I’d probably change the fact that I beat my brother in 2k. Because I mean Keith like I said before was a smug little asshole, but my brother is younger than me and plays video games more often than me. And I hate seeing him mad over something petty. So if I could go back and tell myself to take one for the team, I would. But like two weeks later, he beat me in 2K so, it's cool I guess.
I’m a very caring person. I put that out there because when it comes to bad things Ive done to people, I don’t really have much real estate to go off of. During my young years I would go through a lot of self hatred. I never liked the person I was and the way I looked. I also used to take it out on others. I use to get very sad easily over a lot of silly things. It really bothered me. But there was something, that I did to someone that will forever haunt me and if I could take it back I wish I could. When I was in eighth grade, a friend of mine, one of my closest friends ever, made me feel left out of something and it really bothered my 8th grader immature ass. That is when I did the worst thing ever. I brought up his deceased mom into a joke. I don’t think I will ever go as low as I did that day. After that day I was emotionally scarred beyond words. I didn’t talk to people for a while because I felt like I was viewed as an asshole who didn’t care for anyone. The consequences were heavy on me. Even though I talked to my friend and he said it was ok, I couldn’t help shake what I had done. The consequences were not materialistic nut mental. It was the worse thing i have ever done because, it was something that that kid kept close to him. Something he has to live with everyday, and I made it into a harmful joke. It also was the worse because it emotionally scarred me. Which I think sparked the care that I have for every human being right now. It’s a day in wish I could have back.
ReplyDeleteThe meanest thing I have ever said to anyone was, I hate you and you will always mean nothing to me. I said it to my grandfather that when I was born, left my grandmother and went to cuba to live a different lifestyle. He left my grandmother completely torn for at least 10 years. He never talked to my mother and was never a part of our family. I said this when he came down for a visit. The first one since my brother was born. I have had a step grandfather named Vince who I view as my real grandfather. He was always there for me congratulated me for everything I did, and I love him. But when my real grandfather told me he might be moving back down to wildwood I went off. And in conclusion left him with the worst thing I had ever said to anyone. And I don’t take it back. I hope it stays with him forever. He never moved back to wildwood.
Personally, I have terrible memory due to concussions and such so it's very hard for me to remember the worst thing I've ever done to someone but I believe I can conjure a response. The worst thing I've ever done to someone would be me going out of my way to bring them out of their happiness and comfort. I consider this the worst thing I've ever done to someone because I firmly believe that everyone in life deserves some form of happiness and comfort in their life no matter what they've done. By me doing this, I felt powerful against people who over-powered me typically. That was my reward. Feeling good about putting someone down and it always resulted in me feeling horrible later on or in trouble because the kid snitched. Doing this was definitely not worth the award that it came with because the reward - me feeling powerful - only lasted about a half hour or so and then made me feel shitty in the end.
ReplyDeleteThe meanest thing I've ever said to someone was to my parents and that I told them that they failed. Just flat out failed with no context. I said this because I could see how miserable my life was becoming inside and outside of school no matter what I did. By doing this though, my parents really stepped up their game and raised three amazing children that anyone in this world would love to have.
I would 100% do-over the situations where I belittled people around me. There was absolutely no reason in this world for me to have done that and I regret it almost everyday. I now strive to be positive towards anyone I meet and am friends with unless I'm just messing around with the buds kind of thing. People deserve to be happy and that's what I want to do for others.
Jesus Bunje, you have me thinking about things I really don’t want to think about. The worst thing I’ve ever done was to myself. Over the past few months I have been in a bad situation where I was called a slut, bitch, cunt, and a horrible person. The horrible thing I did was let myself believe that this was true. I am not a bad person so I consider this to be the worst thing I’ve ever done because I hated myself. The consequences of this was me sitting in my room and crying because I felt worthless. I made no sacrifice in this I just layed around believing that what someone said was true.
ReplyDeleteThe meanest thing I’ve ever said to someone was “I wish you weren't my brother anymore” These words tore up me and my brothers relationship for 2 years. Me and my older brother did not always see eye to eye when we were younger, constant fighting, name calling, and petty comments. One night we were fighting over who got the T.V. remote (I know, cliche) and I actually told him I wished he wasn't my brother. Zack was very sensitive and took that very hard. For the next 2 years we didn’t really talk because I ruined that between us. Luckily we are okay now and super close.
I wish I could go back and never beleive that I was a bad person. I stayed in a bad situation for too long and put myself through too much mental damage. I wish I could go back and never of listened to bullies. I am stronger than that.
The worst thing I have ever done to someone is given up on them. I don’t give up on people easily but when I do there’s no going back. I really do think that is the worst thing. For someone who loves you unconditionally and is always there for you to finally be fed up and give up on you hurts. I know people have there reasons and I certainly had mine but giving up on someone even if their actions are hurting me goes against every fiber of my being. Now looking back at what happened cutting that person out of my life was the healthiest thing for me but it was so hard watching someone I cared so much about destroy themselves. I really do feel bad about leaving them alone like that but I actually think they benefited from not having me as a crutch.
ReplyDeleteThe meanest thing I’ve ever said to someone was that I’d be better if they weren’t in my life. I knew these words would break that persons heart. I was young and angry with no real outlets for that anger. I said it because I felt helpless in that situation and wanted someone to also feel the same. I know how bad that sounds. I’m so happy I’m not that angry girl anymore. I apologized immediately with tears rushing down my face. If I could have a do over I would go back and take what I said back.
This is kind of hard for me because I don’t do much to people to create any conflict. This question makes me have to think back but I remember the worst thing I probably done was in elementary school. My best friend was talking about me to someone. It made me so mad so I confronted her. Instead of just talking it out with her, I kicked her. Now that I think about it years later, I see how silly that was. Even if she was talking about me, I didn’t have to hurt her. I consider it the worst thing because I haven’t done much to hurt other people. Luckily, there weren’t any consequences. For some odd reason she didn’t tell on me however, I did learn my lesson. The sacrifice was worth it because I learned from it and never did anything like that again. Other than that, the meanest thing I probably said to someone is to my sister. I said, “I wish I had a different sister.” I said it because she would always mess with me and it would irritate me. The outcome was that I got in trouble with my parents. They always taught us to watch what we say and at that time I didn’t. If I could go back in time, I would change what I said to my sister. At the end of the day that’s family and you only get one. Once you say hurtful things you can never take it back. I would definitely take those words back if I could.
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing I ever did and the worst thing I ever said fall in to the same category. The worst thing I have ever done was tell my own mom that someone else’s mom was a better mom than she was. Me and my mom have a difficult relationship and we both say things about each other that shouldn’t be said about mom and son. If I could take it all back I wouldn’t. I figure what’s said is said and there is no changing that. If I had the nerve to say it then it should be known. We all say stuff we don’t really mean and that’s apart family. I don’t regret it but I do feel bad sometimes.
ReplyDeleteAlright, I’ll just admit it. The worst thing I’ve ever done to someone was getting into physical fights.
ReplyDeleteI don’t do it anymore, but when I was younger, I used to fight my siblings a lot (and I won them all even if I got in trouble). Basically, the reason I did that was because I was fed up with them saying negative things to me or hurting me all the time. I felt encumbered by problems at school, in my family, and with myself, so since I felt no one understood me, I would take out my anger on them if they provoked me. I would literally beat them up if we were fighting. The worst fight I had was with my younger sister when I was 10. She started hitting me during an argument, and when we were fighting, I scratched her by her right eye and she started bleeding (that obviously ended at that point). I got into so much trouble when that happened. I hate the fact that I did that because, well, violence never really solves anything. I have scars that I should not have had for being the crazy kid I was fighting with people younger than I. We could have just worked problems out with words, listening, and understanding, but neither of us at the time did that.
The meanest thing I’ve ever said to anyone was directed at my youngest sister. Around the end of last November, she made me so angry because she was being rude, didn’t do what I asked her to, and was basically being disrespectful. I was having a bad day at that time where everything just seemed wrong, and that got me even more upset. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I impulsively blurted out to her, “Go away! Nobody likes you, and I don’t!”. I felt absolutely horrible after that because I knew I hurt her. At the moment, I felt offended and didn’t want to feel powerless, but I didn’t think about how bad those hurtful words could have negatively affected her, specifically when I said, “Nobody likes you”. I pretty much figured if I hurt her as much as she hurt me, she would stop, but that made it worse, especially when I thought about what I said afterwards. Eventually we both apologized, but to this day I hate the fact that I actually said that to her and continue to feel bad whenever I think of it.
If I could go back in time and do-over one of these things, it would be removing the meanest thing I’ve ever said. Fighting leaves scars, but the pain of negative words can affect someone much worse for a longer time. I would change this because thinking about the words “Nobody likes you” still makes me feel guilty and upset with myself of the fact that I actually said that to a fourth-grader. Those words basically meant that she is hated by everyone. I didn’t want to crush her self-esteem or make her feel worthless at such a young age, and I didn’t want her to feel as bad as I did at age 9. I learned to watch what I say to her and what I say to people when I’m upset (although I was never publicly mad like that at anyone but my family members).
The worst thing I have ever done was punch a boy in the stomach when I was in kindergarten. We were at recess and he always liked to show off and say he could run faster than anyone and that he was the best and blah blah blah. I am not sure why, but one day he started to sprint from one side of the fence to the other, and I thought it was a good idea to stick out my fist as he sprinted by me. He ran right into my fist and flew against the fence crying. I still consider it the worst thing I have ever done because when I am older I want to heal people, not be the one that hurts them. I surprisingly did not get in trouble, but the guilt I had inside of me was enough to punish me since I cried longer than he did.
ReplyDeleteThe meanest thing I have ever said to someone would be calling my little sister slow. Ever since I was little I would always be star student, get awards, be the teacher’s favorite student and get 100’s on everything that I did with minimal effort. My sister is different, though. She has a way better memory than me, but has trouble focusing. Because of that, she has trouble focusing in math, causing her to not understand most of the lessons. When she asks me for help, it still takes her awhile to understand it and that frustrates me. When that happens, I usually call her slow. I feel awful about it when she starts to cry because I hate putting her down. I want her to be smart and have faith in herself, but calling her that word definitely goes against my wishes for her.
If I could have a doover for any of those two times it would definitely be to not call my sister slow. She is a little more sensitive than I am, so I know it hurts her more than it would hurt me if I were called that. She also looks up to me so I can only imagine what it does to her when I insult her. She is young and I need to remember that next time she needs my help.
The worst thing I've ever said to someone was tell my dad I hate him. It's a terrible thing to say to anyone but even more terrible that out of all people I said it to my dad. Out of all of the people that have tried to ruin me, and left me broken to fix myself I decided to say these words to my dad. My dad has hurt me in the past but has never left me. I've failed, I've made mistakes, but my dad has never given up on me. There were times when I was on the verge of giving up on all of my dreams, times when I didn't believe I was good enough and still, through all of this my dad saw something special in me. My dad gives his all to me, which is why those words hurt him so bad. I said these words out of spite and anger and as a result my consequence was the feeling of regret. The worst thing I've ever done to someone was talk to a girl's boyfriend. She didn't deserve to be cheated on and I had no right to encourage and go along with it. So as a result I have to live with the feeling of being a trashy person.
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing ive said/ done was to my mom. We had gotten into a screaming match and said a lot of hurtful things and resulted to me walking to my aunts house. Making my mom and aunt no longer talk for like 3 years. But i said something i regret to this day, i said " you're not a good mom and i wish you weren't mine" and to me that actually hurts me because my moms very special to me, and has raised me by herself her whole life, i respect her greatly. If i could have a doover i would 100% do it over and maybe try and diffuse the situation and not get so mad and just get over it so i wouldn't of hurt my mom so much back then :(
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing that i have ever said to someone is that. i hope that they die and i said that to them because they have said hurtful words to me. and the outcome of that was getting hit with a pvc. and if i could go and take that back i would just because it was childish thing for me to do.
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing that I have ever done to someone was mention their family problems as a joke but I soon realized that it was a huge mistake. I consider this the worst thing because to most people, family is one of the most important things that a person can cherish and love and I know for a fact that if someone makes fun of my family even as a joke that I get extremely upset and angry. I had no right to even say anything about this person's family even in a joking manor. But from my mistake I learned that it is never okay to talk about someones family or personal problems because you'll never know how they'll react even if it is a joke. In the end the sacrifice was worth it because it taught me a valuable life lesson that I will make sure to never do again.
ReplyDeleteWhen talking about the worst thing that I have ever said to someone it would have to have been the time I told my Mom that I hated her. I was much younger when I said this and I didn't mean it due to the fact that I was probably complaining about someone she wouldn't give me. Even though I didn't mean it my Mom took offense to it and she told me to never say that I hated someone. The outcome of it was me learning to not saying anything as serious as that ever again. Fortunately she forgave me. When looking back at both these situations and if I had a "do over" button I would want to take back the first situation. The reason being is because it was much more uncalled for what I said than the second situation even if it was a joke and the guilt I had was much stronger because I was more mature.
The worst thing I have ever done to someone was get someone kicked out of the place that they were staying. My best friend had another one of his friends staying with him for a little while. It eventually got to the point that he overstayed his welcome, but was still allowed to live there because of an arrangement with some money. One night, my friend was sleeping and I was sleeping over his house, and me and his other friend starting conversation. The subject of him staying at the house came up and he idiotically revealed to me that he was going to screw one of my best friends over and not pay him rent. I did not want to be in the middle of the whole situation, so I discreetly told my best friend and he eventually kicked him out. I consider this the worst thing that I’ve done to someone because I ruined a friendship and got someone evicted from the place that they were living. Even though this guy was a douchebag and deserved getting put on the street, my empathetic feelings of living one night out on the street is overwhelming. The only sacrifice made was a deteriorating friendship and a person’s quality of life for a few nights. The rewards were thanks from my friend that was taken advantage of, and a stop to any further burden on his family. Rewards outweigh the sacrifice in this situation.
ReplyDeleteThe meanest thing that I have ever said to someone cannot be narrowed down because I have said some disrespectful and unforgiving things. I do not want to specify because I use to be very childish and did not know how much effect words can have. I was uncontrollable and really just a complete asshole up until recently where my mentality has calmed down. The outcome of saying things to people that I cared about resulted in many burnt bridges and a period in my life where I was completely alone.
I wouldn’t take a do over in life. Every single piece of my life is what made me what I am, the good and the bad. Out of everyone in the history of the world, I do not deserve a do over like others might. My actions brought me to the position that I am at, and my actions will carry me to the place that I want to be
