My Neighbors have been harassing me, what should I do?

Question

I am an eighteen year old college freshman and I am currently commuting. I have lived in my neighborhood since it was first built and I was just in 5th grade at the time. I live in a very suburban town on a VERY suburban street with like no trees or privacy. When I was growing up I loved it. There were tons of other kids my age and we all grew up together. I liked everyone and everything about it. I have no idea what happened... I went my first semester in college (I lived at school) not even talking to anyone on my street except the occasional wave or hello when I was back for the weekend.When I came back to live at home, all of a sudden these middle school aged kids (that I don't even have any idea where they came from) start "talking ****" to me. At first I was like ok... this is odd, who are these kids and how do they know me? I basically shrugged it off though and ignored it. Anyway, for several months since these kids would yell extremely loud occasionally.

Answer 1

consult  local police and if they do not help consult state police

Answer 2

Restraining order or move....

Answer 3

maybe you look like a pot head to them or you looked at them in the wrong way, It could get ugly if you don't do something about it.. they could do something to your car or even rob your house when your not home, they could be clocking your house. call the cops next time they are by your house and tell the cops they are harassing you. Be very carefully they might try to mug you or something, Call the cops.

Good luck..

Answer 4

Been  there done that. In other words I know what you are going through.

My guess is the person across the street where the kids are hanging out is provoking them. It sounds like you don't want to start any trouble but if things get bad enough you might want to ask the police what to do. You don't need to call 911 but call the local number during the day and explain to them what you told us here. Especially the part about none of them living there. Why would they even be there? It is possible the drug problem lies in that house, kids tend to act out what they see. Even middle school kids they are caught between being kids and needing to be part of the cool teenage crowd.

Your best bet is to ignore them and let authorities deal with them. If you confront them and someone calls the police you could end up on the short end of the stick.

Good luck to you.

Answer 5

kik their A**

Answer 6

Find out where at least one of them lives...and talk to their parents.  It sounds like they have nothing better to do and have chosen you as their target of amusement.  Have a handy camera ready, take their picture.  Doing that may end it.  Once you find them, and talk to parents, or it doesn't end, then take it to the local authorities.  It will probably get worse once they're out of school, on summer vacation.  Good luck! (ask a neighbor, maybe they know where they live)

Answer 7

They are probably just trying to get under your skin at that age especially if it is a group it can turn normal acting barely teens into little jerks they feed off of the attention and this is the age that most start relying a lot on what their friends think and the meaner the better I'm not sure why they have targeted you maybe because to them your new (or a change)

Don't let them get you down and telling their parents might work or it could make it worst ignoring them is a possibility but it might not work you could shoot them but then you would go to jail ( just kidding) maybe if you have some big' strong male friends that you could hang around outside your house and just dare the little craps to say something that might work but also might be considered immature these are just some thoughts

Answer 8

omg do u live in bolton connecticut? or anywhere in connecticut?  wow...um anyway..i would say find out who the parents r and call them and report the behavior.(i understand though, that sometimes bad kids come from bad families so this may not work)   if it doesnt work then i say take them to court! really! do whatever you have to do but dont use violence or do anything you will regret!!! its not worth it!!!

also,  you could try consulting a therapist, they always seem to know what to do!!! and talking it out and really getting an insight on what to do would help you a lot! these kids do sound horrid and your right, something needs to be done!

Answer 9

i would p**p in a bag, and throw it at them. if you aren't scarred of them. or just beat the c**p out of them... use a bat, or throw some stones at them, or get one of your juiced up friends to come over and scare the h**l out of them...

Answer 10

put up a privacy fence or tell their parent.
