Hi, I just wanna ask if I need to repent and tell my bishop of a particular inapproprite thing I have done as a kid. The thing is, I couldn’t rmbr if it happened when I was under 8 years old, or a bit older than that. Does forgetting about our sins mean that we have been forgiven?

If it is something that is still bothering you in any way, there is no harm in asking the Bishop for advice on the matter. He will be able to help you know if there are any additional steps required for you in the repentance process. Most likely, if it is something from so long ago and from when you were so young, there will be nothing left to do. The purpose of repentance is to change our hearts, to get us to turn away from sin. If you have changed and have not continued the inappropriate activity, then talking about it with the Bishop can help you get it off your chest so that it doesn't weigh on your concience any longer.
