AITA for blocking my bsf because she wouldn’t stand up for herself

So for a little bit of context me and this girl (who I will call Katie) are both nearing the end of highschool and have been friends since we were 8 years old.

Me and Katie have never been perfect, in 2021 we fell out and didn’t talk until her mum tragically passed, and we always used to joke that she put a curse on us because no matter how close we were to falling out, we always ended up laughing about it five minutes later however, in November things started to feel really strange and I found us falling out a lot more and her being really bossy. She’s always been bossy but this was like a new level.

The month before there was an incident on the bus to collage where I was getting picked on by a group of boys and me and my boyfriend ended up getting into a fight and charging the boys. Katie however kept telling me how she wasn’t proud of me and said I should’ve just ignored them but they were flinging glass at me to the point of I had to duck and hide under my seat, keep in mind all the said to them was “that glass better not hit me.” Now I should’ve really saw the red flag here but for some reason I let her off with it and nothing much happened after, until the start of November.

For context I live in Scotland and in my specific region all high schoolers aged 14-18 get to have 1 day at collage for a “student course.” Me and her are in the same course and at the start of November she would always come in moody and I would always get the brunt of it, like somehow no matter what happened, it was my fault. She was only ever happy at lunch time.

We used to go to the ice rink together but I have knee problems and I’m not allowed to go again until I have clearance too, and to be a few steps ahead I bought figure skates off of vinted that were really good an really cheap, she then proceeded to have a go at me for buying “bad skates” claiming I would break my ankle in them and assumed I haven’t done my research on the specific type of skates (for the record I have been into figure skating way before her she started taking interest last year, I took interest in 2015) so I told her that I had done my research and she needs to stop acting like I don’t know what I’m talking about to which she just said “whatever” and started openly shit talking me to her friend on her phone. Again I should’ve left sooner, but here I am.

Everything calmed down for a while after this until December. I had went to a friends house for the first time and unfortunately she lives right next to one of my ex’s, however I didn’t see this as a problem as I wasn’t going to see my ex, I was going to see my friend. About an hour into my friends house I get a text from Katie asking why I’m at my ex’s I said to her I wasn’t and even sent her photo and video evidence of me being at my friends to which she assumed I was faking and threatened to text my boyfriend saying that I am cheating, my boyfriend knew where I was luckily and unfortunately for her word got back to my ex about this and he was quite disgusted that she would assume me cheat and him cheat on his friend.

I let that slide since karma had done its thing but my final straw was a week later, everyone was telling me to drop her so I decided that if she done anything else I would.

She texted me after collage saying how the same boys who put my life at risk kept punching the back of her seat to the point of the broke through the chair and kept punching her and she said that everyone was proud of her for doing nothing because if that was her before she would shouted or hit them. So I openly told her how I am not proud of her and she is openly inviting them to walk all over the top of her and that she needs to stand up for herself. She then messaged me in the morning saying how much I upset her and that she didn’t want to start anything just wanted to let me know. I then replied telling her how she upset me by not standing up for herself and put herself in danger. She then proceeded to assume I meant hit them back when all I meant was say stop, shout or even move seat. She openly admitted too that she cared more about talking about drama with her friends than her own safety. She then started to say the argument was all my fault and that I’m escalating it even though she didn’t need to respond to what I was saying. I snapped and told her to stop being such a bitch and how I was sick of seeing her get walked all over by boys and then cry to me about it like I wasn’t right about them all along. She then said “well you’re the one being a bitch and I’m the bigger person, I’m not talking to you anymore”

After that I gave her a day to text me back like she usually would and we would talk it out, but she never, so I blocked her, if she wasn’t going to talk to me, then what’s the point in having her.

Before I finish I should probably mention she still has my mum and dad on Snapchat and keeps liking my mums videos on TikTok.

I just want to know AITA?
