One day，some of the girls in our neighborhood started acting a bit strangely towards me．They talking to me．After a day or so of this，I finally what was going on．I'd said something to a（n） girl the night before that she didn't like．I'd had a few that night, and like everyone I sometimes say things that severer than I mean them to．
Anyway，it seemed that the girl had told many of her friends，and now they were all at me．They found a great to think of all the other supposed“crimes”I'd mitted over the past year． they'd all really liked me before, suddenly they I was a really bad guy．
This was a difficult problem．I to get along well with these people and I liked them all．I didn't want them to me because of something stupid I'd said when I was drunk．It didn't much whether they or I was wrong．All I wanted was things to be to normal again．
So I wrote the popular girl a note saying：“I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings．I didn't mean to”．And that was it．The problem was solved． ．the girls who were angry with me now liked me than ever．They felt I'd done something in admitting I was wrong and apologizing．
Learn how and when to ．Often，the pride and stubbornness you hold onto by refusing to back down isn't worth the of a lasting argument．An apology can for healing a difficult situation．And often, people will think better of you for it．
