Everyday when I take the bus home from school for the past 2 days I've seen some weird kid just walk around a park I pass on the way home that is near my stop and he walks then turns his head then walks to the sidewalk and starts staring at me and no one else seems to notice him he did the same thing Thursday and Friday and I'm afraid that when I have to tale the late bus Tuesday because of a club and the closest stop near my house will be that house and I will have to confront him should I beat him up? He looks 16 though so should I punch him and run away?
I think Matt was being sarcastic with his answer.
If you have concerns about your safety there are two things you can do.
First; tell your parents. If it is possible see if they can meet you at the bus stop or arrange for someone to meet you at the bus stop and drive you home.
Second; This is most important. When you get to school tomorrow go directly to the Principals' office and inform him or her of your concerns about your safety at that bus stop. The school is responsible for your safety until you walk in the door of your house.
There are a number of things the school can do to make it safer for you. They can make a police report and have a police officer look into it. Possibly having a police officer at the bus stop when the bus arrives. They can also move the bus stop to a place that is safer further down the street from this person until the problem is resolved.
Whatever you do; DO NOT START A FIGHT WITH HIM. If you do then you're in trouble. If you think a fight might happen turn and walk in another direction. Most kids have a cell phone ; if you do dial 911 tell the call taker you're scared this kid is going to jump you. They will send a police officer. This is a high priority call so any available officer would be given the call.
You need to be proactive here for your safety which means doing the right thing to stay safe. The right thing is to report the problem to the school principal or even the police. Call 911 if you feel in danger. The wrong thing is to start a fight.
