How can you stop yourself being harassed and stalked?

Question

For about 5 years I have been getting harassed by this man. He thinks I fancy him. For years he went around telling everyone that I fancied him and when I was younger I went to several colleges just to avoid him and his racist friends. Before they would just spit at me, call me a "Goth wannabe/****** goth" or blow ciggerttee smoke in my face and accuse me of being his stalker . Now he knows where I work and he will stand outside my workplace sometimes with his friends and follow me to my bus stop. When I'm out with my boyfriend him and his friends will say nothing. I have even toned down my piercings, changed my hair colour several times and the type of clothes i wear and all that happened was that; his friend approached me and took a picture of me on his phone.

I have had to tell the security guards at my workplace which is really embarassing because I am a very quiet person and; I keep myself to myself. By the way the people harassing me apart from a few, are goths.

Answer 1

You should file a Civil Protection Order.

Answer 2

This is a dangerous situation,I was stalked as well,and it can make you feel so nervous.The best thing you can do is get a restraining order if you feel threatened.If you cannot get one then I would suggest the following things.Be careful of your surroundings,never go anywhere he could be alone.take a self defense course,buy an answering machine and let it screen your calls.Finally make sure others know about the situation,that way if any thing should happen to you the police could be notified.I truly hope it gets better.GOD-bless and keep you safe

Go up to him with a baseball bat and let him know to go **** himself and if he doesnt leave you alone your going get his *** whopped up and down the block. Hello? is your boyfriend a pus.. why hasnt he handled this for you. You need a real man girl.. If all fails ger a restraining order or order of protection against him. Or whenever he comes to bother you just scream really loud until he thinks your nuts and goes away. trust me he doesnt want the negative attention. Or just scream out loud.. help help stalker. Just be loud, being quiet is getting you anywhere.
