hello scratch! i came here to report a bug that`s really been BUGGING me every time i try to make a sprite follow another it always goes the opposite direction

What's your script?

Making a sprite follow another sprite is pretty simple:

when green flag clicked
forever
  point towards [target v]
  if <(distance to [target v]) > (10)> then
    move (10) steps
  else
    go to [target v]
  end
end

It could be that your sprite is facing in the wrong direction, because of its costume. Take a look at this:



In the costume editor, right means forwards. You can see that in this simple demo:

forever
  point towards [mouse-pointer v]
end

It might be that your sprite was drawn so that its face is on the left, which would look like this:



But note that the sprite is still following the mouse (its target), not going away from it. I think something would have to be wrong in your script for the sprite to be moving away from whatever it's following.
