Starlight definitely could have gone about things better. However, Twilight wasn’t exactly an innocent party in this situation either. She badly insisted that Starlight make a new friend within a deadline, which is hardly in keeping with Twilight’s own friendship experiences. Then, when Starlight actually found somepony she felt a connection with, Twilight goes and decides that said friend isn’t good enough, and tries to push alternatives on her. This demonstrates not only a lack of faith in her own student, but the fact that Twilight was clearly more worried about impressing Celestia as a teacher than actually helping Starlight learn to make friends in this situation. It doesn’t necessarily make Starlight’s actions okay, but it does make them more understandable.
