Confront him. IN SCHOOL NOT ALONE. Odds are if he hasn't done anything in 3 years, he won't, but talking to him about it creeping you out should put an end to the madness.

If the principal isn't doing anything about this (and most school administrators are freaking useless anyway, total waste of taxpayer money supporting that lot), call the district office and complain to them about the principal's inaction.

At this point, your parents are going to have to get involved. They can also go to court and try to get a restraining order against the kid, which would have the practical effect of getting him kicked out of school if a judge is willing to assign it.

I am one of the older advisers on this site. Hopefully you will find my advise helpful.


The fact that this young man is bipolar does not mean he is not dangerous or is not unaware of what he is doing. Both your parents and his parents need to be made aware of what is happening. Your parents need to know so they can protect you. His parents need to know to so they can make sure he is compliant with his medication and that he is not a danger to you, anyone else or himself.


What you need to do is tell your parents what he is doing. Being in 7th grade his age would be somewhere between 12 and 14 years old. Depending on his age he may be old enough to meet the legal definition of stalking in some states.


My advice is to suggest to your parents that they should consult with local law enforcement as to how to handle this. For one thing the principal released medical information to you she may not have had the right to do so. Here again depending on his age he may have the right to medical confidentiality and she may not have had the right to tell you he is bipolar.


By allowing local law enforcement to handle this; you and your parents are only involved in that which is directly involving you. The release of medical information is something altogether different which you and your parents do not need to be involved in. That is between the boys parents and the principal.

If this boy doesnt stop and the principle doesnt do anything about it then you should tell your parents to talk to your principle. If the principle still doesnt do anything about it and he doesnt stop then go to the cops. Because stalking might just be the beginning. If he is bipolar then god knows what hes capable of doing.
