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 committed 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．
