First I want to know if what I did was mortal sin, and then how to confess it.

There is this special ed girl living with us. She gets on my nerves sometimes even though I know she can not help it. She started getting mad at me for something and threatened me. I said “Ohh, I am soooo scared!” Obviousley sarcastically. I then taunted her alot and laughed and talked behind her back. My mom came in and yelled at me. I said some really mean stuff like saying we only have her for the money, even though that is not true. I do not know why I did this! I feel horrible and like less of a Christian. Is this mortal sin?

How do I confess it? I do not want to sound like I am a jerk to the priest. I usually never do this, I was just angry! How do I confess what I did? What do I say!?
 
Priests have heard everything. Just tell him that you lost your temper on someone and you gossiped about her behind her back.

Priest are not suppose to judge (that doesn’t mean they don’t ever). But honestly, appearing like a jerk in front of a priest is nothing compared to appearing like one on judgement day
 
I would confess it, I’ve been on the receiving end of comments such as yours, it’s not fun.
 
A mortal sin has three requirements. First, it has to be of grave matter (meaning that it’s a VERY serious thing and I don’t think what you did fits that requirement.) secondly, it has to be committed with full knowledge and thirdly, it must be done with complete consent.
 
I don’t know about the mortal sin, but you owe this person an apology. If you went to confession I’m sure the priest would tell you that too. 🙂

You could confess the sin of anger against the girl who lives with you, keep the details brief and general; the priest will ask for more information if he needs it.

We might feel that priests see us at our worst when we are in Confession, but the complete opposite is true: they are seeing us at our best. It is an experience of humility.

Just tell him what happened.
