A mom will always want what’s best for her daughter.

This mom thought a girl in her daughter’s class was a bad influence, so she stopped them from being friends. But her daughter idolizes the girl for making her feel included in a new school.

AITA for judging a 13 years old?

My 12-year-old daughter has moved schools for year 7. There is a 13-year-old in her class that I am quite concerned about.

I have seen her talk back to teachers on more than one occasion in online meetings, post depressing, mature things on Instagram, swear, play games all the time, and is generally a bad influence.

I have told my 12-year-old that I don’t allow her to be friends with this girl because of the reasons I listed above, and told her to unfollow her on Instagram. I refused to let her stay behind in the library to “study” with this girl.

However, my 12-year-old (asd) told me that the girl has been including her in her friend group and is helping her settle in. She said she made her feel safe in the new environment and is encouraging.

The even bigger problem is that my 12yo kind of idolises that particular girl, which I really don’t like. AITA for trying to prevent that because of my judgment?

Maybe give the girl another chance, for your daughter’s sake.
