My perceptions
1. You forgive others; but do not forgive yourself. The decision and act of forgiving is at your disposal. You may forgive or may not.
If you forget others, later on you will enjoy immense pleasure for that. But if you forgive yourself now for an act, for which you should not have forgiven; your future will not forgive you. You will have to regret for that later on.
2. If some body hurts you like anything; you can forgive him. But you not forgive him also. But keep in mind that forgiveness is the wisest virtue. There is no substitute for forgiveness. It is, ob course, very difficult to compromise with the situation you have narrated (forgiving , if somebody hurts like anything ). But, good result of a tough exam is sweeter. It is like the pleasure, one acquires at the top of the Mount Everest, after conquering it through the toughest time and ordeals during entire rout in climbing.
Now the decision is waiting in your court.
