| Miss Weird, I am afraid of my friend. He's not really my friend anymore. But we were talking the other day, and he told me to warn one of his friends, so I did and his friend got really mad at me. Then he keeps on warning me and saying he'll emabarass me. I do not want to be embarrassed. And his friend keeps IMing me and being all nice, when before he was calling me names. And he always seems to find me and IM me. I am getting really scared, like he's stalking me. He also said that he was another one of my friend's friends. This time the user said it was a girl. I didn't believe it. I am scared to go to school in fear of something bad happening to me, and I feel like throwing up. I am really scared, Miss Weird. Please help. Too Scared For School |
| Dear Too Scared, I am trying to interpret your letter. It is slightly confusing. You say that your friend, we'll call him Bob just for clarity, told you to warn his friend whom we'll call Joe. Joe gets mad at you and warns you and says he'll embarass you. And then Joe is all nice to you. And then Joe is stalking you and pretending to be other people. Is that right? Then this is more about your friend's friend than Bob...well, either way, this is what I have to say. Remember that God is in control! When you are scared, you can depend on God to help you through it. Pray, ask for wisdom on what to do, and ask for comfort. Know that God is doing what He knows is best for you. He knows all and knows what is going to happen in this ordeal. If you trust in God, things will turn out the way they are supposed to. As for the stalking part, I would consider switching sn's. That way it'll be harder for him to find you. Don't talk to anyone who you do not recognize. If you ignore him, hopefully he'll stop this. Why are you scared about going to school? Are you afraid that he's going to embarass you? Again, trust God! He is the God of comfort. Turn to him for that and trust that He is in control. Pray and read your Bible for answers. Miss Weird |
