So this girl text harassed me on Saturday.
She got my number from another girl and started texting me saying I was a
Poser.
Bitch.
Effed up.
Two faced.
I locked every one of her texts and I replied to every one but like three with 'K.'
No today, Tuesday, she was talking to a few people I know and I walked by with a friend, she says to the group of people
"God I want to beat the shit out of her"
Ect, ect. So I have a few witnesses.
Now tomorrow I'm going to my school principal about her.
What kind of trouble could she get in?
Additional info, added Wednesday October 14 2009, 9:43 pm: She ben talked to by the principal and if it happends again he told her he himself will get the police involed, thanks everyone..

Text harassment is a misdemeanor and can get the other in a lot of trouble. For example, my friend was arrested for text harassment. [ acarmelo's advice column | Ask acarmelo A Question ]

Don't ever respond to her texts, even with just a "K". That's all she wants, to know that you read them. It'll drive her CRAZY if she doesn't know rather you got them or not.
Is ALL of this happening at school? If it's not, the principal can be lame and say it's not his problem cause it's not taking place on school property. Happened to me before. I was so pissed.
But your principal most likely won't do that.
As for how much trouble she'll get in, it depends on how strict your school is about "bullying". Most schools'll take it pretty serious. They'll at least call her parents. Probably administrative detention or ISS. It really all depends on the school & how serious your principal takes it.

The first thing is if she text you DO NOT reply back if you do you only give her what she wants. When she sends you a nasty text she is expecting you to read them get mad and say something back. What you could do is try calling the company or going to the company of the cell phone and get her number blocked. If you have a trakphone (Prepaid) then you will not be able to block out her number. If she is making threats about you, You can go to the principal but the most she will get is a verbal warning to knock it off because she has not done anything to you yet. The truth is though her saying she wants to beat you up is more than likely just all talk. If she makes a threat to you just laugh it off and walk away if you show no reaction than sooner or later she will get bored with you and move on. As far as the texting goes you might want to try getting a hold of the company and have it block her number if it becomes something very serious you could report it too the cops but that is the last thing I recommend. Do you know who her mother is? You could also say something to her. Will you be a snitch? NO you will not be. The daughter is making threats too you and sending out nasty text messages than yes the mother should know about it after all if I doing something like that I certainly wouldn't want my mother finding out because we all know what the consequences are when our own parents give us punishment.
