The Childish Shenanigans needs to stop!
A few weeks back I was mixing diet pills with pain killers and the reaction caused me to not get any sleep and I became a mean person for a while.

Anyways someone keeps calling my Culinary College and leaving messages that I have their Computer and they need it back. This has happened a bunch of times and I received a warning that I couldn't receive calls anymore or I would be suspended. I had a chat with the people getting the calls and they know that they person that is making the calls are cranking and they are hanging up on them now and if they keep it up the person will get busted.

I created a thread saying that I was going to sell the computer and it was a gift so that they would stop. At the same time I had repurchased a kit during the summer and they told me that they would add it to my tuition and everything would be OK but it wasn't because I was going to get tossed out from the amount that I owed on the kit.

I wanted the person to stop calling my College that was doing the harassing and the only way at the moment that I could think of doing it was to say that I was going to get rid of the Computer.

The calls are still coming in but not as often and the person is sick that is making the calls.

I have started to pay the generous person that gave me the computer along with other things back but I don't have tons of cash so it's only a little bit of money at a time.

I am a kind person with a good heart but how much more can someone take without breaking down?

I pushed this all aside and I am not going to stop going to College because of a sick person that can't stop making calls. I have decided that I will finish College no matter what happens.

I have a strong will and I will make it.

But, when a group of people decide that you are material for an attack and they continue it on a day to day business and they find it funny then something is wrong with them and not me.

I have risen up from loosing my Mom, My Business, My House, Having no Health Care when I had a botched operation, Landing in a Wheelchair for a few years and pulling my self out of that mess by getting gastric bypass because it was my last chance in life.

I had to do it so that I could loose enough weight to walk again and I am very slow at walking but Honey I can walk up to a mile without stopping now.

All of my belongings were stolen but I still go on and I will not let anyone put me down ever again.

If someone wants to be my friend they can but if they don't then so be it. I will not beg anyone to talk to me ever again and I am going to make it on my own because I have always had a heart for people. I treat people the way that they treat me and I make mistakes like taking Diet Pills and Pain killers at the same time.

But, I don't find it funny to sit around and tell someone that their Degree will be worthless when they get out of Culinary College and thriving off of making someones life a living hell when they try to escape their surroundings.

I have come to a conclusion tonight I will never allow someone to make fun of me again and I will not beg someone to be a friend that part is now being put behind me and I am going to rise up and go on.

If you don't like me then put me on ignore or we could possibly meet over coffee and hash it out if you have enough nerve to show your face in person.

4. I think that it is a lurking Freeper
I have copies of the letter that my College left in my box about the calls coming in.

They needed to stop because I want to teach at the College but if they continue I want to leave the states.

I am a truthful person and I despise people who try to tear others apart so that they can feel better about themselves.

7. I see, but I don't know how a lurker, or even a DUer
would know your real name or the college you go to. Unless you have revealed that in prior posts but I wouldn't know that.

3. Not sure what the point is, but sounds like
you think it's a DUer who's making the crank calls, and you're hoping this thread will make them stop? And you think it's the person who gave you the computer? Or the person you are selling it to? Or someone else?

And since the school knows these are crank calls, they are no longer threatening to boot you out for getting calls? Or are they still threatening you with booting you out?

Sorry for the questions, but your post is difficult to read, and I'm just trying to clarify.

Best of luck to you!

9. You have it mixed up
I think that it is a Freeper that is lurking on here and maybe that will read the post and move on in life.

The person that bought the computer has nothing to do with the calls. I wanted them to stop the calling and I tried to make them think that I got rid of the computer but they continued to the point that I was afraid to walk home on my own.

Anyone can ask security at my College about this situation. My College knows about what is going on.

5. I admire your tenacity and courage.
Your refusal to give in and break down is admirable.

13. What did she say that wasn't true?
I sincerely think you would benefit from counseling. No one is your enemy here and everyone has been quite supportive and tried to help, but you really require more help than a message board can provide. I hope you can come to realize that and seek assistance.

18. Locking.
Do not follow someone into another thread to try to continue a disagreement you had elsewhere. Do not talk negatively about an individual in a thread where they are not participating. Do not start a new discussion thread with the purpose of "calling out" another member or picking a fight with another member.

Let us all consider this rule.
