    It is best not to avoid the situation. Take the step to talk with them. Let them know that you know you hurt them and are sorry about it. Let them also know that you will correct your behavior in the future, then be sure to do so.

    You just do it. It's best to talk face to face. Figure out in advance what the offense was and address it clearly and directly. Don't demand forgiveness, but rather focus on your apology. Make it clear that you did not intend to hurt or make fun of him.

    That is a tough one. Apologies are better to do in person, if possible. But if it is not possible, choose your words carefully for the text. Don't be trite. Own the problem. Don't use cute emojis or try to minimize the problem.

    The best way to 'show' it is to correct the behavior in future interactions—for example, don't call them names again, don't be late again, etc.
