Me and my friends were walking around the track for gym, and two of my friends were swearing. So I said I don't give a shit, and they smiled at me. One of my friends were talking about fucking a kangaroo? So when I was walking back I said niggar really quietly, because she was teasing me. She had been using that word for a long time now. She then shouted, oh you said the n word for black people. The teacher was now staring at me. I am really embarresed and wish that never happened. I am truly very sorry for my language in this post, but I really need help! Please don't say that I need new friends, because I don't okay. Please help me, what should I do?

Dragonflymagic answered Friday April 24 2015, 4:32 pm: You took an action based on the desire to be liked even more and make a good impression on your friends and make them feel even more strongly that you are one of them by acting more like them. that is not uncommon, many young people regret that later because its not part of who they really are.
And of course you know its wrong to use racial slurs. I hear so many say 'shit' as an expression every once in a while and its usually a response to something unexpected and I don't find it offensive.Silly talk involving sex as your friends do, just shows immaturity. It comes with the age your friends are at. the brain doesnt completely finish growing and able to help you make adult decisions and act maturely until we all reach age 25 or later. So its some time before they hopefully drop that behavior.
If you're still feeling guilty and want to say something so you don't feel uncomfortable around this teacher wondering what they think of you.
Then bring it up. Tell them you want to explain yourself in case you made a bad impression on him/her. Remember that day my friend yelled out that I had just said the N word? I'm embarrassed to admit I actually did it. Its not who I really am but I did it to make them like me more and now sad i did it. I just wanted you to know.
Most likely they'll thank you for explaining, maybe even give some encouragement to you. We all had to face the same temptations when we were your age so we know what its like and you wont be thought badly of for having done it. Doing this can help relieve embarrassment or feeling awkward around this teacher, make the guilt go away. Guilt doesn't help a person with making better choices next time. It only makes us think even less of our selves and lower our self image or feel that we can't do any better so we tend to give up and become much worse in character.
Hope this helps. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
