I don't know if you're a religious person, but since your question is about forgiveness, I'll answer it from a Christian perspective; but please understand that you don't have to be religious in order to benefit from the wisdom of the Bible.  I do not consider myself to be Christian, but I still use many things I read in the Bible to help me through challenges of the spirit such as the one you have describe.\n\nFirst of all, we should ALWAYS forgive others.  Jesus said to forgive people seventy times seven times, which comes out to be 490 times.  If you have to forgive someone more times than that, they are probably so evil that it's not going to matter whether you forgive them or not; at that point your best best would bwe to just get the hell away from them!  LOL\n\nBut I think what he meant was to forgive as much as you possibly can.  But you sound very young to me- it sounds like there's not a whole lot you can do OTHER than forgive; sadly, we are basically powerless in our youth to change the behavior of others, so you'd better forgive wholeheartedly and do it RIGHT.  The following information is lengthy, but it will help you learn all you need to know about forgiveneness:\n\n- This is not an optional action on our part, but rather it is imperative to our own well being that we forgive others.\n- Most Christians understand that this is not always an easy task.\n- For some, there have been people in their lives which have wronged them severly.\n\n- Though it may be a process, and it may not happen instantaneously, we must be willing to take the first steps toward forgiving others.\n- As long as we continue to harbor bitterness in our hearts toward someone else, we allow that individual to have a controlling factor in our lives.\n- There are a number of occasions where unforgiving Christians lose their relationship with God because of what someone else had done to them in the church.\n\n- There was once a man who lost his relationship not only with God, but also his children and people in the church because of his bitterness toward others. He basically went around feeling sorry for himself all the time.\n- To forgive means to "send away". In other words, to not hang on to the wrong doing.\n\n- When you forgive someone, it means that you are not holding that sin against that person.\n- Therefore, you're not focused on how you can get back at that person.\n- You're not praying that their boat will sink or that their plane will crash.\n- As a matter of fact, you actually begin to pray for their salvation and deliverance.\n\n- Understand that when you forgive someone, it doesn't mean that you have to re-establish a relationship with that person.\n- It may, by God's will, lead to that and that's great if that's what God desires.\n- In the verse, there's no mention that you should stop praying and go find that person to let them know that you forgive them.\n- Release the thought of anger and bitterness and hurt unto God.\n\n- Forgiveness does not mean, by the way, to forget.\n- Trying to forget is merely an attempt to hide something.\n- When you hide something, someone will eventually find it.\n- We're are to deal with he hurt and send it away.\n\n- Jesus didn't just preach this. He lived this.\n\n(Luke 23:33-34 NKJV) And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." And they divided His garments and cast lots.\n\nFORGIVING OTHERS HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND AND RECEIVE FORGIVENESS\n\n(Mat 6:14-15 NKJV) "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."\n\n- It seems as if God's ability to forgive us is contingent upon our ability to forgi

If you think about it, all you really need is one commandment / rule / law:\n\nLove.\n\nIf all we did was Love one another, we wouldn't need the other commandments...or most of the other laws on the books.\n\nI wish you Peace.

Forgive and trust and again.  Not everyone is like that.  Some people simply do not have a concept of loyalty and faithfulness.

Forgiveness here is the answer it comes from whom you are but look at Jesus he forgives all because he knows all he died on the cross for all so they can have eternall life and so they know god loves us so much he died for us. I say this to Forgive one is to forgive urself. to love is to love ur self. is it better to forgive or hold a grudge it is better to forgive i tell u for no one is perfect. if u forgive god forgives u it comes from with in u it is the spirit.

my interpretation of this verse has to do with sin.  If you repent this sin on earth, it will be forgiven in heaven.

It is commonly thought that all human beings (with the possible exceptions of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary) have sinned at some point and are in need of repentness and forgiveness.\n\nThe fallen nature of humans that makes it so easy for us to sin is called Original Sin.\n\nEven very holy people increase their efforts to be more and more Christlike.\n\nWith love in Christ.

Yes, we are always suppose to love people.That is JESUS law. But we DONT HAVE TO AGREE with what they do. GOD said it was an abomination to him . So if we be with the world and agree with them and dont tell them they are wrong then we are wrong.

Love is all about forgiving and forgetting, so I don't think the person who came up with this quote was very successful in his love life. In a way, I do agree with it if you love strong enough to KNOW that each other is sorry, but I'm a verbal person, so I always say I'm sorry when I am.

This was what I experience in my last date. I tried all i can to make him forgive but he refuses. So my dear friend don't stress yourself much on apologizing to someone that don't have a forgiving heart. Love is forgiveness in advance. If he truly loves you, he wouldn't wait for you to say am sorry before forgiving you. I will advice you to stop pleading and give him some time to refresh his memory and see if he wouldn't come to you and ask for his own forgiveness.

This concept comes from the idea that if you don't repent from a sin, that you will go to hell, and that there is no opportunity to repent from commiting suicide. However, most people view repent here as "ask forgiveness." Repent does not mean that. It means change the way you think and act. If we had to ask forgiveness for every sin we ever commit NONE of us would ever go to heaven. Grace is not such a fine line that if you sin, you are lost, if you ask for forgiveness your saved again, sin again and you're lost again, etc. There is another problem with this... There are many ways to commit suicide in which you have time to ask for forgiveness. Jumping off a bridge, for example. While I certainly believe it would be a sin to take your own life, I don't think that one sin would necessarily negate the grace that comes from accepting Jesus as your savior.
