 Although I'm not really an expert on Bebo, my review of their terms of service seems to indicate that you CAN, in fact, post materials there without their being posted anywhere else. Have you tried doing this? (In fact, you can have a Bebo account without even having a YouTube account, I believe.)
If this actually does work, it could explain why your friends might be upset with you. The coverage and notoriety of YouTube is much greater than that of Bebo, and your friends might well have wanted to keep their antics within a more closely guarded community.
Take the video off YouTube, apologize to your friends, and make it a point never to go beyond your word again.

You all need protection and their parents could be very angry if they see this. It is a huge thing for some people and needs careful permission. In the business world you can't do this sort of thing without infringing people's rights to privacy. You could get sued then. However, you have found out how easy it is to expose people by mistake and this is private life not business. Yes, I reckon you need to apologise and not do anything like it again. I don't think you can get them off once you have them on? Am I right?

 Well... Lets take things into perspective
1. Did you ask them if you could do it?
2. Was it really that bad?
3. Have you removed it yet?
Anyway you should probably say you're sorry.
