I feel the same way. I accidentally killed a little puppy when I was 4 and I still feel guilty :/

this is normal,
i still blame myself for the death of my rabbit when i was 7.

Oh no! That must have been horrible for you. You shouldn't have guilt. Those evil kids with their dogs are to blame. My heart goes out to you. It's hard to let go of something that you have thought you did something wrong.

even though you didn't know any better, it's normal to feel guilty. i feel bad about when i was a baby and picked kittens up and threw them. :/

i've just signed up, and so being new here, i don't see any dates, and don't know if any of these are relevant anymore. if this is very old, then please forgive and ignore me, but in case it isn't, i just wanted to chime in. i think it's completely normal for you to feel this way. as tori said above, you are not guilty for this, so you shouldn't think you are, but i believe it is normal to feel this way. there are things like this that have happened to me when i was younger that i feel guilty about. apparently i somehow killed a bunny we had [my mom has told me i "dropped a bureau on it" and i've still not figured out what that means] when i was young enough to not even remember anything about it, and i feel guilty about that as well. in addition to others, of course.. sometimes feel guilty about things i have said years and years ago that i later realized probably came off sounding the wrong way, not quite what i meant, and they're people that i don't talk to anymore or anything, still feel guilty about it though

This is so sad... Snowball would have died quicky. Don't feel bad...:(

Awe I would have been traumatized :-(

Your moral support really helps. :o) Sometimes things that others feel are nonsense or childish regrets can really stay with you and haunt you your entire life.

That's because you're a very good person...and you probably d'ont realise it but you value life greatly,even a cat's.

That is a very, very sad story! No that is 100 percent normal to still feel that guilt. It would haunt me too. In fact just reading this story I will probably be haunted by it for awhile. You have a big heart and that is a good thing. Spend your life being good to others and animals and try to realize it was not your fault. If you still know those boys I'd be sure to give them a piece of your mind.

Aaaw! I remember when i was 6 the neighbour kids gave me of the kittens from a their cat and within minutes they took it from me and beat it to death in front of me. It was horrible! I blame them of course I didn't know they were gonna kill it! I did try to stop them!

Who cares. I was do

Great. Fuck you. You do the talking. We are all very impatient about listening to your fucking bullshit.

Good cringe moment! Our pasts will always haunt us... don't sweat it. Perfectly normal!
