Apologizing to a... prep?
Well, I know this may sound a bit strange to you all, but is it ok to apologize to a person such as a prep?
Well I had to do such a thing today (now I'm not going to whine about it otherwise I would have posted it in the whining section) on the afternoon bus on the way home from the Jr. High. It started merely as a joke towards this boy on the bus who was handing out pieces of chocolate to people who were begging him for it. :/ Then this preppy girl starts begging him for some and he gives it to her, but she still continues to beg for more when he barely has any left.
So the first thing that pops out of my mouth is "Don't give her more than what she deserves, but then, you shouldn't have given her any at all."
Immediately I felt terrible about saying it but I don't appologize until several minutes later (mainly because I wanted it worded right and so it didn't sound like I was begging for forgiveness because I envied her. (as if!)).
Generally, I feel pretty good about saying *gulp* sorry to her but still a part of me still argues that she deserved it. Which leads to the question, "Should have apologized to a prep?"
I'd love to hear any comments. Thank you.

Are you even suggesting that you shouldn't respect someone because they don't listen to the same music as you?

Umm....I don't get it. Why did she deserve chocolate any less than anyone else?
Other than that, yes you did the right thing to apologize (unless I'm missing something)

Uh, yeah. You were rude, so you should apologize. It doesn't matter who she is. If you act like a jerk to someone who didn't deserve it, apologize.

It doesn't matter what label the person falls under.
If you wrong someone, then you must appologise.
You never know if you have hurt her.

Of course if you wronged someone, you should apologize. If you didn't, how is that any different from saying "I don't have to apologize the them, they're black/white/asian/male/female/whatever"? You did the right thing to apologize. Remember, preps, jocks, and all the other "labels" are people too, they just appreciate different things.

No, no, I'm not even suggesting that at all.
Graveyard.Crow - I don't know why I thought she deserved less chocolates than everyone else. Maybe I was mad that she kept asking for it...
Underwater Ophelia and BlackRose- Thank you.
Basically what I was saying was that I confused if I did what was right.

I think it was. Unless there is some back story where she bullied the guy and only talked to him because he had chocolate.

If that person you labeled as a prep has not done anything mean to you, I think you should apologize. If she has done something to you in the past, she deserves what she has.

Indeed. In fact, today I stuck out my foot and tripped a queer colored, and he immediately tumbled to the ground, his skull shattering against the sidewalk. I was immediately overcome by a bizarre sensation of remorse and actually considered *gulp* APOLOGIZING to his grieving family, but then came to my senses. APOLOGIZING to *gulp* a gay n.igger? What was I *gulp* thinking!?

Appologize to no one. They're all sinners.

No.
Next week go on the bus and give everyone Anthrax. Give her twice as much. That will teach them for listening to her chocolate whoring.
Whore.
Yeah, that's what Daddy used to call you, but now you can prove them wrong. All of them.
They're just talking about you behind your back anyways.
I bet they're spending this whole weekend figuring out what to do in return to that little chocolate stunt you pulled. You need to strike first.
They're all useless.

If you really think that people don't deserve basic courtesy because they have a different high school label then you, then you really deserve a karmic bitchslap. If you're going to judge people that superficially, then I hope the same thing happens to you so you can see what it feels like.

Right, I get it now, I'm an idiot for even asking about what I did was right or wrong and for saying that
As for those who thought I hadn't apologized to the girl, I did.

Yay! Lesson learned.
'Preps' = also people.
'Some preps' = nice, friendly.

Dude..... preps are no less human than us, but if she was chocolate hogging, yes, she deserved it.
But since the comment was pretty harsh, the apolgy was reasonable. I have preppy friends you know....

She outright deserved it o.o
You might have said it a bit .. harsh .. but yeah, she deserved it.
Nagging for more chocolate is the 11th sin in my sin-book!
Sin 1: Spelling like a blind nervewreck when online. Sin 2: Going up against my supperior rule. Sin 3: ... ... okay, okay, you get the point >_<
