URGENT! Should I send this apology text?
Okay so I have this one friend at school that is a year younger than me. (I am a girl, and he is a guy). Anyway, we are in the same club at school and he wrote down this note to me about someone else in the team the other day and I told the coach about it. Not because I wanted to get him in trouble or anything just because I thought it was funny. Anyway, somehow, a whole chain of people found out and he is upset with me about it. I found out who knew and they all agreed not to talk about it anymore.
Anyway, I texted him last night saying that I was sorry and that everything is taken care of and that the person it was about does not know about it. He didn't respond. I also left him a message in his phone saying I was sorry and told him to just let me know if he got my message. He didn't, so I texted him to see but he didn't respond. I tried calling him again and he ignored my call.
I wrote out this big apology text and I am unsure of whether or not I should send it. Basically, I just say how truly sorry I am and that I hope he doesn't think that he can't trust me. And that I have been in bed sick all day, and I feel terrible that I upset him by telling anyone to begin with.
Should I send it or just let it go and wait until I see him on Wednesday to talk to him?

It sounds like you've made a sincere attempt to apologize... the reason I'd say to send the text is that it sounds like a final summary of the way that you're sorry and you should send it for YOU, not for him.
Honestly, he wrote down whatever it was. While you accidentally told someone who you thought was going to take it in the funny way that it was meant to be taken, it could have just as easily gotten taken when you were passing it or taken out of the trash, etc etc etc. When you write something down that you don't want other people to know, maybe it shouldn't be written down--- my point is that he shares responsibility in this because he's the one that made it. It's nice that you feel bad, but don't take all of the weight off of his shoulders.
It sounds to me like its easier for him to be mad at you than to actually take a close look at himself and realize that he's to blame too for writing it down at all.
Send the text for your own closure. You did everything appropriate that you can possibly do and honestly, its probably more than you had to. If he doesn't forgive that, it's more because he's embarrassed about doing something wrong.

I don't think you're gonna convince him that everything is fine. The way it looks to him (and me) is that you ratted him out. You can say you thought the coach would find it funny but since when do we include our teachers/coaches in the student's jokes? He sent it to YOU and you betrayed him. I don't blame him, I'd be pissed too. You've already apologized and he's not ready to accept it. Give him some time.

Tell him the truth, that you thought it was funny. But apologize in person :)
