Guilt or shame? I think you can not have just one of these. Because when you are guilty of one thing, you have to be ashamed.
I know a case like this in my old high school. There was a 7th grade boy who beat the little boys to take their food. Very often, this boy's victims ended up hurt. The parents of those children came to school to talk to the boy, but he did not care. He WAS warned many times. He had many DEMERITS. But that boy had no shame. He did not feel guilty and did not care about what adults said. The boy's problem was not that he had no food or that he was hungry. He has never had such problems. But he liked to beat the younger children. One day, this boy was expelled from high school due to DEMERITS. Then he realized he was doing bad things. Still, he still does not consider himself guilty because he was expelled and he was not ashamed of the situation.
This was just a short story, but the point is that we have to understand that we need to be aware of our guilt in some negative situations and be ashamed of the bad things we have done.
