Why was marnie even forcing JJ to apologize. I was bullied growing up and do I expect and apology from the kids who bullied me? No unless they actually changed and apologized and meant it. I mean come on. They kid who bullied me in my jr year of high school wanted to be fake friends with me just to *beep* up my life. 3 years later he added me on Facebook and he messaged me and I thought he was gonna apologize but no he wanted to *beep* up my life again. I don't expect any apologies from anyone who bullied me. But even though I do think JJ should've told Will the truth about her being a bully to his sister and being engaged to Tim.

Plus at the moment I'm in a play with a girl who was mean to me in high school. Yes I still hate her and yes it's awkward that my director put me next to her in one of the scenes but I know she's still mean and I don't expect an apology. Yes u was mean to her at one point during practice but hey nothing like a little revenge right lol

None of what happened in the movie is even one bit close to what would it have been like in real life. What bully even makes a film about it and post it for everyone to see it?? Plus, what type of person would accept a forced, last minute apology (I mean, it was Marni in the end that reached out to Joanna in the fridge when seeing her cried....the bully never reached out to Marni nor at least invite her to a Spa or girl's hang-out as another way of apologizing and talking woman-to-woman).

I had been emotionally and verbally bullied in middle school and nope, at this point (I'm now 27) I don't want any apologies at all. If they want to talk to me, then they should just request me on facebook and simply talk and behave like an adult. As long as I'm now talking to the adult version and not their mean child-like version that's fine with me. I don't care about school nonsense.

If one of them even apologies, I would replied back and ask him/her what's the purpose of an apology after so many years (when I have long forgotten it and moved on already) and would think they're just undergoing a current issue and using an apology as a stress reliever. If they wanted to apology then the time has expired because an apology should have been given out in the following day it happened, not years later when I don't care anymore.
