Help me stop feeling guilty

A year ago, I had a best friend and we were both into dark stuff like cult shit and serial killers. One day, we had a school gathering in the gym and we had s presentation about cancer. This big misunderstanding happened and everyone thought my friend was laughing at the presentation but she was laughing at something about her dog. After that, she was literally tortured and beaten up ever day for a month. Every dark thing she ever said (like she loved serial killers) had come up and people were looking at me for answers. Instead of being a friend, I told them everything they wanted to here so they didn’t hurt me. My friend tried to kill her self twice. She was beaten so badly she was hospitalised. Eventually she moved schools. She blocked me on everything and said I sold her out and was the cause of everything that happened. This was around a year ago and I’ve started thinking about her recently. I want to set things straight but I don’t know where she is or what to say. I also don’t want her to hurt me. She’s very dangerous and would often talk about shooting up the school. I’ve been feeling guilty recently and i don’t know what to do. She went through hell because of me. What should I do.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    From what you write, I'm not entirely clear what happened, but it seems that you have a pretty nasty bunch of feral kids at your school and it's understandable why you feel guilty.

    However, guilt accomplishes nothing. It doesn't change what happened, and nor does it fix how things are now. The only thing guilt is good for is encouraging us to think more about our actions before we do something so we hopefully don't make similar mistakes again.

    If you believe the girl is a danger to yourself and the school, then you'd be wise to raise these concerns with the appropriate authorities. If you don't and she does do something, you're going to be feeling a lot guiltier than you are now (assuming you're feeling anything at all).

    You should probably leave her the fuck alone! I don't know what would have been wrong with you being honest about how she was laughing about something regarding her dog. Also, there was no need to betray her trust the way you did. Stay away for her, cause you've done more than enough, and you better pray that she don't come looking for you.

    Write her a letter. Tell her you understand and accept that she would never want be your friend again. Tell her you realize it was a mistake to encourage fatalism, and you should have never associated with her to begin with. Tell her you hope she recovers and finds happiness. Then say goodbye.

    Have you actually made any attempts to find her? All you can do if you do find where she is, is to sincerely apologize for betraying her.

    If it's realistic to be afraid she may hurt you, all you can do is learn from your guilt.
