A few weeks ago, i recieved these messages from ppl who knew my name but i didnt know who they were cuz they blocked the number. They started talkin abt how i looked so ugly 1 day in skool on someday when we had 2 get dressed up, and i looked like if someone puked on me. They also said that i needed an extreme makeover. They said if i came 2 graduation looking like tht theyll beat me up. They also called me bad names. It souded like a boy's voice, but i think a girl in my class was in charge of it cuz shes been threatening me ever since the beginning of 8th grade. My mom played the voicemails 2 my teachers and my principal, and they were so upset tht they had a police come 2 the skool 2 here them. Then 2 other police came 2 my house later on tht day and theyre trying 2 retrace the call. Then the day before i graduated, it sounded like the same person with a blocked number called me and said he was this boy from my class. He then started telling me ho sexy i was and at 9:40 pm in the gym at our graduation party, he wanted 2 kiss me. He also said tht he hopes tht im a lesbian cuz hes 1 2.(I didnt go 2 the party though which was on Friday.) The reason why im so worried abt this is cuz i think its this 1 girl in my class controlling all this and id be going 2 the same hs as her in September. Do u have any idea why whoever this is is doing this 2 me. And by the way, i dont think i looked bad tht day, everyone told me tht my dress looked pretty and everyone always says im so pretty and nice. Since this girl is the opposite, do u think shes doing this cuz shes jealous of me???? Sorry if this was 2 long!!!!

hope you find the idiots

 Kids are just idiots- my suggestion is a) change your number b) try to garner proof and go to the police about it. Make sure to mention her name and have them talk with her- most likely it will scare her into shutting up.Usually people like that come from a bad home life and hate themselves and are insecure, so they have to pick on people they are either jealous of and/or people that look like easy targets to them.I had a girl in middle school harrass me every day. I wasn't obese, but i wasn't a stick thin beauty like she thought she was, and every day she'd tell me how disgusting i was, how everyone called me hog and horrible names, and basically ruined 2 years of my life. One day i got sick of it, confronted her and [lost my temper]. I never ever heard another word out of her mouth about me, and years later she admitted she was jealous because her mom always said horrible things to her, and she hated me because my family always loved me even though i was unattractive (still kind of an insult, but i let it slide).Cut off all their options to harrass you anynomously. Change your number, put your myspace/facebook on private, etc. Make sure you ALWAYS keep a record and tell someone when you DO get the calls, and save/record voicemails. Then start looking for the "who" and "why" and let the police and the school do the rest. Also talk with your parents and be as open with them as possible. Getting your parents support is key.Just remember that things get better, and people like that usually peak in high school- years later you'll look back and they'll be unemployed/pregnant/miserable, and you'll be way up there (which is waht happened to me and everyone else i know). People that have to pick on others lack the confidence and power needed to succeed in life, and those of us that get picked on usually are the ones that learn the determination to excel. Keep your head up!
