Am I a bad person? (discuss.online)

Hey so when I was like a 11 I had pinched this baby to make it cry and I knew it would cry and then I did the same thing to a toddler at my church one time. And then like one time I was playing with another girl who was younger in kind of like an older brother to sister kind of way and I was holding one of her legs and lifted it up. But she was wearing a skirt and her underwear has kinda shown. . I wouldn’t dare do any of this today. I am now 21 and it never bothered me until now, and I just hope I’m not a bad person.

Noone can tell if youre a bad person based on this. But youre definitely not the same person as back then. To the better or worse, who knows. Its in the past, you cant change it, but you can make sure that you wont be doing stuff like that (or adult equivalents) in the future. Dont bury the memories, keep them as a reminder but also dont beat yourself up over it too much.
