Teenagehood consists of difficult yet formative years. We've all made mistakes during our teen years, some of them worse than others. In this week's "Am I The A$$hole?" thread, a poor teen girl made a terrible mistake when she decided to bleach her hair on her own, causing it to fall out. Hairdressers could do nothing for her, so the only option left was for her to shave her head. As devastating as that is for a teen girl, the mom asked her sister to shave her head as well in solidarity. As expected, the sister refused, driving the sister with the buzz-cut into even more hysterics. Redditors seem to unanimously agree

    Organism - Posted by u/nidpofg 7 hours ago 6 8 S 7 AITA for refusing to cut my hair to make my sister feel better? I am 16F, my sister is 14F. She has jet black hair, and if you know about hair then you would know that it's very hard to bleach and even harder to do it right. Well my sister wanted to get platinum blonde hair and she decided to do it by herself. And it did not go well. She ended up completely frying her hair and it fell out and

    Human body - she's left with chunks of hair ranging from about an inch long to like 6 inches long. My mom took her to the salon to try to do something to it and they decided that the only thing they really could do was to give my sister a blank canvas so they gave her a buzz cut.

    Font - She was hysterical about it and cried for many hours after. The next morning my mom came into my room to wake me up at 8 and she asked me if I would be willing to also buzz my hair off because my sister said that my hair was affecting her.

    Font - I have very long hair and it would take literally like 5 years to grow back so I said I wasn't willing to do that. I offered to tie my hair up and wear beanies when around her or something but that I was not going to cut it off.

    Font - dutifulmomentum · 7h Partassipant [3] NTA - your mom should have shut that down instantly. It is awful she even entertained the idea of asking you to cut your hair.

    Font - ImFinePleaseThanks · 4h A Asshole Aficionado [15] Right, jealousy at this level might be understandable for a teenager - which is why a parent should step in and make this a learning-lesson that you don't sabotage loved ones out of jealousy for your own mistakes. OP did nothing wrong, it is absurd that she should suffer for her sister's mistake and lack of emotional maturity. This kind of childish mentality is unfortunately very common, for example when it comes to sabotaging other people

    Font - Ok-Mode-2038 · 7h Certified Proctologist [29] Your mother's request was completely unreasonable. The proper response by your mother would have been to be shoulder to cry on for your sister while also explaining that she doesn't get to ask other people to change due to her own mistakes. NTA.

    Font - round_robin959903 · 7h Partassipant [3] NTA. Your sister is experiencing consequences for her choices. You do not have to share her consequences. Your mother is absurd for even asking. But because I've seen too many stories, I would be cautious that one of them doesn't try something while you are asleep. I truly hope not but there are way too many stories here on Reddit like that.
