Its been about 3-4 months since, we both hate each other now, but she has taken it to extremes... Writing death threats about me.
I found out about this at school, wasn't too worried but then people made it a big thing, saying 'oh you can get the police involved.' So this has got me more worried.
I'v told my parents, and they've said things like 'do you really think she is going to even lay a finger on you?' etc. And the fact that im in england and shes moved up to scotland.
But at school people are saying shes going to come down on the last day of term to do what she can to me....
So at the moment, I'm not the happiest, any ideas what I can/should do?. Search for more eHelps from this member »
It's my considered opinion that this is all empty scare tactics and adolescent drama. However, if you think for a moment that there is validity to the threats, or if you answered yes to a number of those questions up there, you should tell someone. It's jumping the gun to run to the police. Start by talking to authorities at the school, a counselor or whoever is in charge of discipline. Talk to that person and he or she will know what the next step to take is.
It's also really important to consider how you're feeling about all of this. Do you really think she'll come and hurt you? Because if so, you need to consider other appropriate routes of action. If you're really scared and worried, then I don't think there would be any problem at all with you going to the police about this. Death threats are a very real and serious problem, and can be so very scary when you don't know what to do about them. The police can try to reassure you about things and take things further if necessary.
Perhaps have another word with your parents. Remember that they're your parents - they have your best interests at heart, so hopefully, if you try having a chat with them and explaining how worried you are, they can try to reassure you too. They could even go to the school about this, if you don't feel up to doing it yourself. I think, more than anything, you should talk about your worries and fears with people, and let people (who can protect you!) know what's going on. I sincerely don't think she'd travel so far to get at you, but you don't want to take any risks, yeah? I'd also advise that you cease to have any contact with this girl at all - cut off all ties and hopefully, given time, you won't hear from her, y'know?
Take care of yourself. If you need anything at all, feel free to PM me anytime.
Even though your parents seem like they want to confront you, it's really up to you to decide how high the treat is to you. Your parents seem reasonable in where she is at. Yet, within that it's up to you to decide if the statements they've said to you need some thinking. For one thing you've mentioned your parents informing the distance between the two of you. With that it's best to think about that distance, and to think about if she is capable of getting to you. I would advise you to take more statements from your parents and take them into consideration to think them through.
Good Luck.
