I (13M) am Muslim and have many friends. So after school I usually go to my local masjid for another school curriculum. I also regularly go to my masjid at night and other times of the day.
So about 2 months ago, I didn’t go to my masjid because the person who takes me to the masjid was out of town. I then go for my second school curriculum the next day and finish around 3 pm only to be stopped by a man who is the father of one of my friends I will name b. asking me if I broke their iPad in the bookstore. I then said no but I think I know who did it, I said it was most likely someone I will name a(10m).
A eventually got asked too but then slipped up in his answering when asked and got in trouble. He never knew it was me who snitched but some people I know thought it was kinda messed up and I should have just not said anything. I’m not 100 percent sure but I think his punishment is that he lost his Nintendo for a full week.
(Btw the reason I put the masjid and that I’m Muslim is so that my story doesn’t have holes, other than that’s it’s just a regular story)
Aita?
Edit: he also got banned from one of his favorite games recently so it hit him hard that he does online school and doesn’t have a single game to play
NAH
You were in a tough spot. I get why you spoke up, and I get why your friends are unhappy about it.
Losing a Nintendo for a week is not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things. This will blow over.
If you feel bad about it, apologize to “A”. If you don’t feel bad about it, I don’t think you have to fake an apology, but the reconciliation might take longer.
Another thing is that he had just been banned from one of his favorite games on Roblox so he basically had nothing to play and idk but he seemed really tired the whole week
[INFO] Do you know for sure it was the other kid?
All details were pointing to him, out of the 2 kids it could have been one of them is very energetic and the other one is more calm, and after they asked him and he slipped up it was for sure it was him. Though he did try to say something like, “I saw a different kid removing the Ipad from its case” but he had no proof so he got caught
The only thing that would make you an AH in this situation is if you didn’t know for sure the other kid did it, and were just making an assumption or a guess. Because that would be unfair. Never accuse someone unless you know you’re right.
But, if all his punishment is that he can’t play Nintendo for a week, I wouldn’t stress about it too much.
Lol, you say that but man, I’m gen alpha but no Nintendo for a week is like torture from some kids,
You did the right thing. Keep doing what is right, always.
NTA. Being dishonest would not have served you well especially since you had an idea of the truth. A should have fessed up to breaking the iPad especially if it was unintentional. He is likely being punished more because he hid the truth than because he broke it.
>I then said no but I think I know who did it, I said it was most likely someone I will name a(10m).
“Most likely”?
INFO: How did you know, or why did you think, A broke the iPad? Were you there? Did you see him breaking, or even using B’s iPad? Or did you just blame A because it sounded like something he would have done?
Ok it wasnt only because it was something he would have done, it was because he (the adult) said me and my friends but I wasn’t there and the other possible kid had an excuse bcz someone said they were talking to him. A also slipped up and started saying things that didn’t add up. And well, yeah know that I’m reading these replies I’ma starting to think I’m kind of an AH,
