<p>@aunt bea - court action is tedious and expensive. I briefly considered it Sophomore Year and even talked it over with our family attorney, but the whole process seems exhausting and I’d rather not have to deal with the stress, especially piled on top of college applications and SATs and everything else. I feel like its only an hour a day, I can work through it.</p>
<p>Preamble, from the language you are using today, I think this is serious.
“I’m not too distraught”
“This isn’t hurting me”
“. . . making me slightly uncomfortable”
“It’s bullying”
“I briefly considered it sophomore year” (restraining order)</p>
<p>It is adversely affecting you because you’ve already attempted to change your schedule so as not to deal with her. (Don’t they have a restraining order application through your county clerk’s office?) </p>
<p>This is what I would do: go with your parents to the VP at your school that handles discipline. Tell him/her what you’ve experienced (and that you even brought your situation to college confidential to ask for suggestions. Most of us here would agree that it is bullying.)</p>
<p>If your parents are with you, the administration can’t ignore you. You need to mention that you have considered a restraining order-this should make them sit up and listen.
Then just calmly say that you really want to have a successful year and you don’t want to make any waves but that you are not comfortable being near her. Show them this webpage and thread.</p>
<p>Then, take up Lacross as a senior, and carry your stick around with you everywhere! It should help with your admission to Johns Hopkins!</p>
