A little bit of background. I attend an international private school and our graduation is coming up. The graduation ceremony includes speeches given by selected students. Normally the more gifted and compelling speakers of the graduating class are given the honor of addressing the guests. However, this year, it was very obvious that the selections where not merit based. Almost all the speakers are locals who are hardly qualified and who also happen to be buddies with the young new principal (he's verrry young for the position and he only became incharge 2 years ago and he's only like 10 years older than me). On top of that, only 2 of the speakers are even from the graduating class, the rest are under-classmen. Very atypical from all the years I was at this institute.

Back to the story. I actually like the principal, he's generally a good happy-go-lucky guy. **But** he does sometimes get on my nerves because he treats me like a child at times inspite of our small age gap. I don't know if he does it because he feels that his position demands him to be overbearing, or if he just likes to tease me, or he feels like he's a lot older than me than he really is, or what other reason.

Anyway, I'm pretty sore about the selection. I guess I did feel a bit entitled to give one of the talks. I especially feel shunted that under-classmen were preferred over the graduating seniors. 

So one day after rehearsals I vent my frustration on an anonymous letter and slide it under the principal's door. I basically called him out for the biased selection and used a bunch of derogatory words "incompetent, favortist, disrespectful, undeserving, etc."

I leave.

Next monday, **he brings the letter out and reads it to he whole freaking class** mfw holycrapnononono.
He was visibly shaken and hurt by the letter. (I also mentioned how he didn't deserve students giving up their time to come study at his school since he has no respect for us and how if it weren't for us students, he would have no job).

I feel terrible. He thereafter claims that he didn't even make the selection of speakers and that they were selected by a council (but I think that's tenuous since even *if* there was a council, he makes the final decision). Anyways.

I feel like an asshole. Basically there is a huge boundary of respect which I was emboldened to cross under the veil of anonymity **and** there is a possibility that I unjustly accused him of something he didn't even do. 

But in my defence, I never intended the letter to be read infront of people. That's why I frikkin wrote it to him privately. He went and read the whole thing to other people which was never my intention. 

So be honest. Am I an asshole?

There are a few followup details and I'll clarify any questions.
