Ok so some context. I have this friend named....Fred and he’s a grade 8 hype-beast. Always wearing champion and beats and gets really upset when his clothes get dirty. I generally like him! He is fun to be around and the life of the party but he is poor shaming and bullying my other friend a lot lately and I called him out on it. 

We were in the gym at recess playing basketball and I have 2 very tall, good forward playing kids on my team, so I thought to myself “I’ll just play defence and let the big guys handle it”. After the game my other friend.....Steve came over and being the pubescent 13 year old he is, started goin like “ha I got more baskets than you” and all that jazz and I tried to explain I was playing defensive because I had really good players on my team and I would be no use trying to score

Once we go up stairs I go up to Fred I say something along the lines of “when Steve doesn’t know what playing defensive is” and this is basically the convo from there

F: don’t insult Steve like that! He is a good kid!

Me: hold on buddy you are constantly bullying him also don’t you dare talk about insulting people! You poor shame constantly

F: when do I bully him?!

Me: you constantly say shit like “Steve nobody likes you” TO HIS FACE when he makes a joke or something and you have said on multiple occasions that you hate his guts!

F:what? I have never said those things! (He has) 

*steve comes upstairs and backs up previous statement*

Me: also when we were at that school hockey game you poor shamed that kid for having holes in his clothes! So don’t you dare come at me at “insulting” someone! 

F: just go sit down 

Am I the asshole?
