I think that you should only say sorry if you are feeling guilty or upset about what you did and maybe if she said sorry and meant it you could say to her i accept your apology.

I wouldn't tell her that I was sorry. From what you said, you had every right to get angry. Try explaining what happened to your mother. If saying your sorry is the only way to get your computer back, you have two options:

1. You can swallow your pride and go against what you know to be right and say your sorry.

2. You can just be without a computer for a while. If you help out enough around the house and shit, maybe they'll give it back to you some other way.

Being right is great, doesn't mean you don't owe her an apology. Saying sorry doesn't make her right, it means you recognize the way you behaved wasn't perfect.

And you weren't perfect. You yelled at her, and you circumvented the system of your school, which isn't there just to punish you, but also there for your own safety. You should have signed in and you must be smart enough to you know you should have. It sounds like you've had run ins with this guidance counselor before for not being where you were supposed to be or for fooling around while you should be in class. So, you definately aren't perfect.

It doesn't mater what another person does to you. If you wrong them, you should apologize because that's what an intelligent, moral human being does when they make mistake.

well you should just tell the guidance counselor that your sorry because you dont want to lose a computer over it and you dont want trouble with a guidance counselor because they're the ones who usually write recommendations for colleges and stuff
