Hurtful untrue rumors
Im going into my sophmore year of High School, and for some reason, this past year I have been getting really harassing phone calls/voicemails, messages on myspace, and IM's from screen names I dont know. I never did anything to deserve it, but people keep calling me a slut and a whore. I dont understand why they are calling me that, and I dont know how to stop it. Its so unfair :(

Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
im not trying to be mean or anything but did u do anything to someone that would make them want to hurt you .. i mean maybe u didnt know how bad somehthing you did would hurt someone .. everyone reacts differently and maybe you would react differently than this person. it sucks that they feel they need to harrass you .. but just think back .. if you think of a person .. confront them .. it might make things easier

Whenever people sit there and call and harass, I just sit there and laugh at it. I find it funny, because I feel special enough that they'd take the time out of their lifes and that I'm that important to them that they need to call me. But usually it's just because they know your number, are bored, and have nothing better to do, and are trying to get a reaction out of you because it's "entertaining". But I just sit there, open the phone up and then set it down next to me and wait till it says "Call Ended" so I don't even listen to the phone calls anymore. But if you're very serious about ending the phone calls, you could make a harassment report to the police, and I heard they'll trace the call and find out the name of the person who did it and warn them, and then they can even block the number from your cellphone. Also, if you pick up and start hearing insults, just hang up. About myspace, just make your myspace private, so just your friends can see it, and then go to theirs and block them so they can't contact you at all on myspace. For IMs, just go to the PREFERENCES, go to BUDDYLIST, and go to the PRIVACY area where you can select wether you want just the people below blocked or what. So you can either just block them, or block all people who aren't on your buddylist. [ but that might cause some problems for new friends you make or friends who changed their screename and want to IM you ] so if they ever IM you, I'd just block them really quick. I hope I helped. <3

Technology is allowing people to say things they wouldn't normally say to your face. Delete your myspace-people don't need to know your life story. As for IMs it's a good way to communicate with your friends because you're just talking and they're not stalking you by looking at your pictures and comments and so on..Your cell phone is okay too. Just limit the time you spend on these things it's a huge part of the problem.

Just ignore it. If they get a reaction from you, they won. If you don't do anything about it, they'll see it isn't hurting you and they'll stop. Whoever's doing it is probably just bored and doesn't have a life anyways.

Have people that know you come together,tell everyone that you're not so they will feel foolish for spreading untrue comments,this world is cruel lot's of people love to judge people without getting to know them or do it for jealously or simply for the fun of bringing someone down,believe me once you do that it's going to stop,you just stay calm,don't worry about this, you just keep doing what you love doing,and don't let others take advantage of you.

Talk to the phone company and your parents about getting a new number. If you do, don't give it out to everyone, make sure you know exactly who it is that you give it out to. If you need to call other people who you do not want to have your number, press *67 then dial your number.
Make your Myspace private and just forget about the messages - if you see its from somebody you know will send you something mean, then just delete it without opening it.
Set your AIM (sorry if that is not what you use) settings to accept IMs only from those on your buddylist - do so through preferences.
Just ignore them and don't let it get to you, because whoever is doing that is try to get under your skin. If you show it does not let them get to you and find ways of protecting yourself, they'll back off. Hope that helped and good luck.

i agree with the person below. you need to start fresh. *69 the phone numbers & get them blocked. don't bother reading the messages on myspace & block everyone that isn't on your buddy list on aim. drama drama drama. don't let anyone bring you down. stay strong & ignore those who envy you. you're a better person.

Forget it all.
start new.
You have Caller ID right? Get the number and talk to police about someone harassing you on the phone. Give it to them.
Talk to them and say somebody is harassing you over the phone for months or however long, and they will speak to you about it. Possibly help it come to an end.
Make a new myspace. Transfer everything on your current one.. to a new one. Add your really close friends. Then make it private. If someone messages you, block them.
IM? Block them or change your privacy setting.. to like "allow only users on my buddy list" So no random people bothering you.
They are just trying to hurt you. Don't let them. Be happy. Ignore it. Or.. Laugh at it.
If you didn't do anything, it shouldn't bother you. Some people have jealously problems...
