I 14(f) am friends with 14(f) for 2 years now, for context we change seatmate per quarter of our school months. We already became seat mates on the 2nd quarter and we only got separated when the 3rd quarter hit.
So our class adviser said we all could choose who we want our seatmates to be. Now I have this one classmate also 14(f) that I’ve been close with for the past few months and wants to be closer to her as well, for we share the same hobby and what we like.
I placed the other classmates bag next to my seat as our adviser said that we could choose out classmate. Then there goes my friends pouting that I didn’t choose her AGAIN. She’s always like this when I dont choose her , she pouts and makes me feel guilty every single time.
Eventually we got into different seats I on the 3rd row,got separated with the other classmatte but still in the same row while she’s on the 1st row. Our adviser decided since she didn’t want boys to be seated together because they often make loud noises.
We talked but I could still feel that she didn’t like what I did.
So AITA for wanting a new seatmate instead of my friend?
NTA, You can have other friends and shouldnt be made to feel guilty about it.
NAH, both of you are 14, is normal that she feels scared of being left out, and lashes out because of it. But just talking honestly to her and reassuring that you’re not excluding her should fix it
If you weren’t 14, I’d say it’s childish. Just ignore this. You sit during class where you presumably study and listen to the teacher. Not gossip or hang out. You can do that anywhere else
Definetly NTA
This is normal at your age. You seem to be the one showing maturity about the situation. You’ve talked to her about it. Not much else to do. Don’t give in every time someone throws a tantrum.
