AITA for going to the parents of the girl my stepsister has been bullying?

In the quiet halls of their high school, a silent storm was brewing—one fueled by cruelty and betrayal.

A shy girl named Mia, once simply another face in the crowd, became the target of relentless bullying from a stepsister who was supposed to be family.

The torment was subtle but piercing, leaving Mia to withdraw into herself, her spirit slowly breaking under the weight of harsh words and exclusion. When the truth surfaced, it shattered the fragile facade of family ties.

The narrator, torn between blood and morality, chose to protect the vulnerable Mia over maintaining a fractured relationship with a stepsister whose actions crossed a line.

This decision ignited a fierce conflict, exposing the raw emotions and divided loyalties that can turn a home into a battleground.

The Comments Section Came Alive:

It didn’t take long before the comment section turned into a battleground of strong opinions and even stronger emotions.

The original poster (OP) acted strongly upon discovering what they perceived as serious bullying against a known cla*smate, choosing to immediately involve the victim's parents rather than addressing the stepsister internally.

This action has led to severe consequences for the stepsister, causing significant conflict and tension within the OP's home environment, particularly with their father.

Given the severe potential impact of bullying versus the OP's choice to bypa*s internal conflict resolution, was the OP justified in escalating the situation directly to Mia's parents, or did this action cross an unfair boundary regarding family relationships and sibling conflict?
