<p>^ i CANNOT believe that you just said that i deserve this. i wouldn’t wish this situation upon my worst enemy. I am not even staying at home for the next few days because of this.</p>
<p>so i should not be paranoid because i have a registered criminal living 10 ft away from me who is trying to elicit me for sex?</p>
<p>and he waited until he was sure that i was home alone before me knocked on my door. what, was he gonna ask for a soda? -__-</p>
<p>so there is nothing to worry about when you have an old man trying to get friendly with a 16 yr old girl?</p>
<p>Unless I missed some sort of proof in your posts, you have NO PROOF to suggest he is a registered criminal, nor do you have any proof to suggest he’s only trying to sexually harass/assault/abuse you.</p>
<p>Furthermore, I find it ironic that you’re accusing him of trying to assault you and that you’d never wish that upon anyone, yet you seem happy to have him executing for merely trying to make conversation.</p>
<p>Eye for an eye, I always say. Someone should knock on his door and interview him for the census.</p>
<p>geez eritakan what are you offended because he is black?? -__- this has nothing to do with race. seriously. or are you an old man who targets underaged girls??
it’s like you WANT something bad to happen to me…people like you make me sick. i hope you get raped and killed. there. </p>
<p>ok i know how normal adults make conversation. he was not normal.</p>
<p>he IS a registered sex offender</p>
<p>How do you know he is a registered sex offender?? If so, is he permitted to live so close to a teenager? On that account you can call the police (ie if he isnt supposed to live near you). But again, how do you know he is a registered sex offender? can you clarify?</p>
<p>this is not something to play around with. get help, call the police, do something. seriously.</p>
<p>I don’t want you to get raped or whatever, I just think you’re being a little melodramatic. Jumping to conclusions is never a good thing. </p>
<p>You also need to take into account both of your perspectives. For example, I got paranoid back when I was about 13 when I got off the bus. I was walking home, turned around, and saw an old man walking rather fast and breaking into a run. I freaked out, but then I finally realised he was trying to return to me a $10 note I’d dropped. You’re evidently feeling the same about this, but it’s quite possible the guy is just trying to be friendly in a way which isn’t normal in your view point.</p>
<p>

<p>I really hope you don’t mean all that.</p>
<p>eriatarka - the guy could be a sex offender. pigs<em>at</em>sea said that the guy did asked her for her myspace. That is kind of creepy if you asked me. Like really, an old guy asking a girl for her myspace. Pretty much you could assume that guy is a sex offender.</p>
<p>pigs<em>at</em>sea - You should call the police, or hire a lawyer to file a restraining order, or something. Just get this man off your back.</p>
<p>Oh my god, you CANNOT ASSUME HE IS A SEX OFFENDER. Jesus Christ, unless some sort of official police document signifies that said man is a sex offender, you have no business instigating such claims. Likewise, you cannot go around saying someone is a sexual predator unless you have concrete proof to suggest they have broken the law.</p>
<p>^hey, are you a guy or a girl and how old are you?</p>
<p>Why is this thread still going on? It’s pathetic. Just do what you have to do now and prepare for anything in the future. It’s kind of simple.</p>
<p>Male, 16.</p>

<p>Guys, OBVIOUSLY she doesn’t mean it when she says she wants him guillotined and whatnot. Give her a break, if you guys were in her position, you guys would be very scared too.</p>
<p>My daughter was followed in our local library ONCE (not twice). This middle aged, well dressed, white guy in our affluent neighborhood tried to talk to my 16 year old daughter. She was so scared she locked herself in the lady’s room (not a good move, always go to a place where there is a lot of people). </p>
<p>I called the police. They went to the library and had a talk with the guy. Apparently he was out of work, and had done it a few times. The guy was asked not to show up at the library any more because there were too many young kids around. We never saw the guy again. My daughter was traumatized, and couldn’t sleep for a few nights.</p>
<p>Whether he is a sex offender or not, it is not normal for an older person to speak with you for no good reason. There is no reason for him to knock on your door. Any time you feel attention is unwanted, there is something wrong and you need to do something about it.</p>
<p>You need to tell your mother about it, report it to the police. If the police is not helpful and you were my daughter, I would move out of the apartment. I would do that to protect my daughter. Do not let anyone on this board tell you that you are over reacting.</p>
<p>I’m arguing for the fact that you simply cannot make such allegations against a person based on petty ‘evidence’, not for the fact that she may/may not be in danger.</p>

<p>Pigs-at-sea - i know you’re in an abnormal situation and all, but with responses like these you sound really immature and like a little child. I’m 16 too, so I normally wouldn’t say that to someone my age - but honestly. You should by now have a good sense of what the world is like, and how you should go about everything. If you really are scared and don’t think you’re misjudging him, then call the police and don’t think another thought about it. But don’t go around sounding really incapable and younger than you are</p>
<p>“if he was in the middle east, did you know that a stranger guy who even approaches an underaged girl will be automatically stoned to death??”</p>
<p>hahaha. I have come to a conclusion that most people on Collegeconfidential are idiots of the highest degree. I just happen to LIVE in the middle east and that is NOT true. Young, attractive girls get harrassed and hit on all the time. If the girl decides to take action, the guy is detained and questioned. No one gets stoned. In Saudi Arabia (but only in Saudi Arabia), if a couple engages in sexual intercourse without marital reasons, the man is whipped to death. But mostly every other country is very open-minded. I live in an area in Egypt where Americans make up about 30-40% of society.</p>
