The apology face of Justin Bieber, noted human and hopeful angel, covers the June issue of Seventeen. Justin has been apologizing everywhere, and now he’s coming back for his demographic, y’all. This would be a wise strategy (on behalf of manager Scooter Braun) if Swaggy’s demo hadn’t already aged out of the Seventeen market. Perhaps there are some Belieber holdouts, but the teen market is tough one to recapture once parents shut their pocketbooks.

Bieber has made some progress on his probation situation (for early 2014’s Egg-gate). He was too Swaggy to pick up trash, and TMZ reports that his community service hours are still in process. Yet the probation officer says Swaggy has “been cooperative and sincere,” and he’s completed 12 anger management classes. He still needs to stay out of trouble until 2016. Tick tock. Here are more apology excerpts from Seventeen:

On his year of bad behavior: “I was rebelling a little bit. I was getting cockier and cockier. I didn’t have people to check me. I looked back and I was disappointed in myself.”

On making mistakes: “You have to own up to the mistakes. You have to say, I’m sorry if I’ve let you down. I always want to be honest and let people know that those mistakes aren’t who I am. Who I am is someone who really cares about people.”

On relationships: “I need healthy relationships with people I can feel safe with. People I can say whatever to, and I’m not going to be judged. In a girl, I want someone who’s confident in herself and honest. I have to find her very attractive and as someone I can see myself with for the rest of my life.”

On social media haters: “For a while, I was busy looking at my Instagram likes, and if a post didn’t get a certain amount, I was like, Aw, they didn’t like the photo. But there’s always a choice: You can let Instagram or stuff on the Internet affect your day, or you can choose to not be bothered by it.”

Swaggy is wearing me down with all these apologies, but his words are generic and hollow when referring to his offenses. Swaggy himself never goes into specifics. Does he even remember everything he’s done to upset people? He dumped his pet monkey, called a fan “a beached whale,” stumbled out of a brothel, and abused flight attendants. Then there’s the truly risky stuff he did like driving on sidewalks. And let’s not forget his racist videos, whiny depositions, and a refusal to accept blame for taking drugs. If Bieber has truly come to terms with himself for all these acts, then fine. But I feel like he simply did his bathtub baptism and memorized a bad apology script. We’ll see.

Here’s a photo of Swaggy performing at Wango Tango last weekend.
