AITA FOR NOT WANTING MY MOM TO POST PICTURES OF ME ONLINE

I am 15.

My mother loves taking family pictures. She posts them on social media.

Usually, I do not think or really care about it that much.

But lately, she has been uploading pictures of me without asking first.

They are really embarrassing pictures.

This teenage girl told her mom to stop taking pictures of her.

She also takes random pictures when I am not noticing or expecting it.

I told her to stop taking pictures of me without asking first.

I asked her to ask for permission before posting.

I kind of said it in a mean tone. It sounded like yelling without me realizing it.

Her family thinks she’s overreacting.

Now, she is saying I am overreacting.

My family thinks that I am being dramatic about it.

They say I should not hurt my mom’s feelings because of “insecurities” or something like that.

The thing is, I just hate feeling guilty for saying it in a rude tone.

I was just so annoyed with what she kept doing.

Now, she’s wondering if she should just apologize to her mom.

Now, she is acting like I do not exist in the pictures. She is cutting me out.

Should I just apologize and let her continue?

Please, I need advice.

I want to know if I am really the jerk.
