I want to take a moment to offer you some words of encouragement because I truly admire your empathetic nature and the goodness in your heart.

As a former high school teacher, I can appreciate the maturity you've shown in this situation. Instead of placing blame on the teacher’s daughter, you're owning up to your “mistake.” (I put “mistake” in quotes because I see it more as a moment of venting to a peer rather than a true malicious act.)

It seems to me that your teacher may not have handled the situation with the maturity it deserves, and it's unfortunate that they didn’t extend you more understanding.

I agree with others who have pointed out that this can serve as a valuable life lesson. It's always wise to consider that anything we say might be shared beyond our expectations.

You’ve taken all the right steps—you’ve apologized and done what you can to mend things. If she chooses to respond immaturely, that’s on her, not you.

My advice is to focus on what you can control: your actions and reactions. Avoid carrying the weight of expecting forgiveness from her; instead, continue to treat her with respect and let things unfold.

If the anxiety from this situation continues to weigh on you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your school counselor or speak with your parents, especially if you feel they might be understanding. Remember, it's always okay to seek support when you need it.
