Hi Allison,

Welcome to the forums, I'm glad you're looking for help. Can I ask, have you talked to your parents and would they be any help if you did? If you've talked to your ex-boyfriend and made it clear that you want to be left alone, and he's not respecting that, you need to get help from people in authority.

You mentioned school but I'm not sure if you meant HS or college. If high school, then the school should be informed, but it would, unfortunately, be taken more seriously if it comes from your parents. Or is there a guidance counselor you could trust enough to go to?

If you're in college, you made need to contact the police and let them know that you're being stalked. It's good you're taking this seriously since it could just be that he's having a hard time dealing with the end of the relationship and time will help. BUT this kind of behavior can also indicate something more serious going on and you need to make sure you're safe.

Please know that hurting yourself is NOT a good way to handle this. It's much better that you speak up for yourself until someone who can help will listen rather than trying to act out by hurting yourself to get a reaction. You don't deserve to be hurt because someone else is behaving badly.

AG
