Im very very angery ,and depressed right now . Im losing my MIND!!! Im haveing a hard time at school. People keep threating me. I would actually be happy though if he did what he threatend to do. (BIG LETTERS TO EXSPRESS MY ANGER)

[Lisa Michelle]

Ohh, I'm so sorry you feel this upset and angry, it's good that you are SHOWING it and letting it out - that's very important!
If you're being threatened at school you need to tell somebody because that's NOT alright, that's horrible behaviour and that person needs a wake up call, they need to be shown that you can't treat people like that.
Try to tell a parent or a counselor or somebody you feel comfortable with. Nobody has a right to threaten you and make you feel unsafe.

Absolutely! Lily333ann, no matter how you feel, it is the responsibility of your parents, your school authorities, and the civil authorities (police) to guard your safety. Please inform someone of the threats -- you are worth it (even if you don't actually feel you're worth it).

Who? What threats were made? Verbal or do you have any text messages or anything? How long has this been happening? Are you being stalked?

You need to report this but depending the specifics you might need to get a restraining order.

Its a older guy who should not still be in high school he should go to adult high school. He threatend to slit my throut and he emailed me to on facebook through one of my friends whos also his friend and said some nasty things. I told my principle about him threating me she just sent him home for the day he's going to be back tomorrow. He emailed me right when he got home so he obviously didn't care he got sent home. No one around her cares about me so they won't do anything :_(

I would take the threats seriously. I saw on the news yesterday a teen boy threatened to kill a thirteen year old girl. They were texting and her response to his threats were "you make me giggle". Three hours after the threats she was assaulted and is now in the hospital in critical condition on a ventilator.

I don't want to scare you unnecessarily but there is a time when fear is appropriate. I think this is one of those times. Don't panic but think carefully about how you can stay safe.

Your options are tell your parents, inform the police and provide emails as evidence and file assault charges, get a restraining order, talk to the school superintendent and ask that he consider suspending him or placed on home schooling, file a mental hygiene petition and ask that he have a psychiatric evaluation (also provide emails and name/phone number of your friend who is a witness to the threats), or do all of these. Also inform the superintendent/police/magistrate of the name of the school principal and what information you told her and her insufficient actions.

I would consider strongly the risk/benefit of attending school tomorrow. Please post what actions you take and the responses because I am very concerned about you.

If I were you I'd keep reporting it and save all evidence of him contacting you (the PMs from facebook).

Don't back down, keep reporting. Oh and please inform the principal that he emailed you when he was sent home.

Yoda did a most marvelous job of telling you what your options are.

Hello, lily333ann. Do your parents know about the concerns you list in your profile? Have you asked them for professional help? Do your parents know about the threat?

You have received some good advice. I truly hope the threatener is harshly dealt with. I also hope you get the help you need.

Good luck.

[brephi]

What a creep he is!!!!! This situation is dangerous and needs to be reported to the proper authorities. It seems your principal is not taking things serious enough. I would be scared too.

lily, possibly tell your parents and possibly the police? There may be some ways you can protect yourself. I don't know about verbal threats, but there are provisions to protect people - look into them

[lynn P.]

((Lily)) - very good advice from Yoda. If you have any emails or Facebook comments, you need to print them out. Have your parents contact the school and show them the comments - your parents need to tell the school, if this isn't handled properly, then the police will be called. How long has he been bullying you? Once you make these copies, you need to block him on Facebook by using the privacy settings. My 12 yr old was bullied on Facebook and we printed everything out and gave it to the principle and I gave a copy to his parents(not suggesting you/parents talk to his parents). Keep reporting everything he does, until it stops.

[lily333ann]

Thanks every one , I took all ur advise I printed of all the emails and stuff and told the police they said the will be dealing with him that what he is doing is unexceptable

[Lisa Michelle]

That's great lilly ann! That's really brave of you, I'm really pleased you had the strength to stick up for yourself and not let this horrible person bully you!
If you can let us know what happens, I hope the police take it seriously and something is done. You've done your part though and you should be incredibly proud!

Good for you, lily333ann. Like Lisa Michelle said, I hope the police follow through.

Be well.

[Yoda]

Good for you, lily. Maybe they can now get this boy some help before he does something to hurt somebody or himself.

Glad you're getting some help =)
