AITAH for confronting a classmate who was bullying someone in front of everyone
This happened a few days ago and some people in my class are split on it so I figured I'd ask here.
There's a guy in my class who has this habit of making comments at other people's expense. Not outright aggressive but the kind of thing where everyone laughs and the person on the receiving end just has to sit there and take it. Most people brush it off or laugh along because it's easier. This time he was going at one of the quieter people in class, making fun of something they said during a discussion. The comments kept coming and the person he was targeting was clearly uncomfortable, just kind of shrinking in their seat and not responding.
I told him to leave it. He looked surprised and made some comment about me being too sensitive. I said it wasn't about being sensitive, it was about him repeatedly making someone else the punchline and that it was getting old. It went quiet for a moment. He didn't say much after that but later some people told me I made it awkward and that he was just joking around. I don't think what I did was wrong but the reaction from others made me second guess myself.
