Aunt Audrey agony auntHi there,

Firstly i assume you have spoken to your parents or carer about these bullies, if not you should.

There area few things you could do to stop this, one is to get the bill payer to call the telephone company to block any witheld numbers. If it's a mobile phone, make sure that you do not take any calls from witheld numbers, don't answer and give them the satisfaction of bullying you further. Change your number if you feel that might be better. You may want to contact the police if you are really worried that they might attack you, I think they get a kick out of frightening you. If you don't speak to them they will give up eventually.

Good luck!

Sweet-thing agony auntMaybe if you called the phone company for your area, they could have that number blocked. This works in the States. Also you may need to notify the police. Such harrassing behavior is illegal here and callers such like this can be tracked down and prosecuted. I would suggest you not go out alone, carry pepper spray in your purse and be on your guard until you get to the bottom of this. Good luck.

Well the easiest way to get someone off your back is to intimidate them. But in this case I would just laugh in her face next time she calls. Cause seriously she is such a loser for talking shit over the phone. Just laugh in her face and tell her how ridiculous you think she is cause she is all talk. And if she does try something you got to scare her. Like go crazy. Grab the first thing you see and break it over her head. Go crazy. Act like you are psycho. But not on the phone. Only in person. Act like you are completely demented. Don't be scared. Never show fear. And if you do beat her up, she is going to look like such an ass in front of her friends. So make sure you give her a black eye.

And don't talk shit yourself. Next time, be cool to those around you so you can avoid this kind of drama.

Megan Deetes agony aunthi it sounds like someones playing a prank on you but if these people are getting to you its probably best to block the number if you find you are still worried prank calls are a criminal offence and they can be reported to the police if you honestly think these people are a threat (however i'd only use this as a last resort)

Feel free to talk to me if you need more help)

good luck :) xxxxxxxxxxx

I'd say contact the police. This is at least harrassment and possibly something much worse. If they police do not deal with it themselves they should be able to recommend to whom you should speak.
