I think it is wrong because one friend is very mindful, and the other is very rude. The reason why it is bad is because one can be very sensitive and weak, while the other is very strong and ignorant. Another reason is because kids can be very rude and make a lot of hate comments.
It is wrong to be friends with someone who mistreats others because they are not good people. They disrespect others, and it might affect you if it were a family member. This person could also mistreat you because it’s how they are. Also, this person may backstab you and treat you just as bad. If I befriend this person, they might change their mind about me and be mean.
