I don't care that she is a tsundere. And I can somehow understand her reason but that isn't even close enough to justify what she did. Fact is, that she betrayed her friend (which some might see as worse than bullying somebody don't really know a thing about) and throughout middle school the only thing she ever said to him can be seen as an insult, or at least that's what everybody understands it as. If she would have stopped her bullying after some time and simply ignored him (Japanese elementary goes up to 6th grade if I remember it right) I could still understand. I know how hard it can be to reunite with a friend once you parted ways with them but she continued to insult him in middle school instead of letting it simply rest. It's probably still better than Kawaii, who denies ever having bullied anybody.

However, I do understand why she doesn't like Shouko. In her eyes she probably road the trend in bullying her making everybody guilty but also allowing them to declare themselves as followers rather than perpetrators. Moreover, Ueno probably lays part of the fault on Shouko herself because she never tried to do something about it herself. On top of that she believes that everything would have been good if it wasn't for Shouko. If she never appeared the class would have never started bullying Ishida and they would have likely at least remained on good terms (Not like it wasn't obvious that those guys started to go their own way already before Shouko came into the class, as they didn't continue to partake in Ishida's stupid shit..)
