Answer 1

Use a filter or a block on her email. Not just that one email; look through her emails and look for similarities. Does she always sign off the same way? Does she always some of the same numbers in her ID? For instance, look at my id, b30954. I may change Yahoo email addresses, but I usually include 30954; it's just part of my student ID at college. My little sister is still in high school, and she has 265 that she works around. Does your friend have something like that? Or does she use the same threats every time?

Whatever similarities you find, even the cuss words she uses, set up a filter for those. Even Yahoo does it; set up a filter to prevent any email coming through that is signed by your friend's name, or that has those cusswords in the text. If you need to contact me for more help, by all means, go ahead.

None of that will actually keep her from sending the email; it only keeps the emails from reaching you. To keep her from sending the emails in the first place, I'm afraid you'll have to resort to something else. I don't advise you do anything illegal, like breaking all of her fingers, though that would work. Instead, you'll have to file a report with the police. Have your mom take you to the police station and file a restraining order against Megan. The restraining order will include prohibiting her from emailing you, as well as other things that you're worried she may do.

The RO will not actually prevent her from pushing the Send button, but it should give her some food for thought. And if you recieve an email from her, then you know she has broken the law. I don't if, in your area, taking an RO out on a minor means that it has to be against her parents, too, but doing that will alert Megan's parents to how serious this is (obviously, your mother hasn't been able to convince them), and they will perhaps take her more strongly in hand.

Answer 2

After you finish reading this email--you must do this Immediatley: Tell your Mother that you need to call the Police TODAY. This is very serious. Either tell your mom to drive to the police station, or call 9-11. You need to file a police report as soon as possble. Tell them you are afraid she will inflict bodily harm. Show them the emails she has sent you. Tell them you are afraid.

On Tuesday when you go back to school, Tell your Mom or Dad to come to the school, and take a printout of all her harassing emails and show them to the Principal. They must meet with the Principal. Tell your Mom to demand that the Principal contact the girls parents and threaten to suspend her is she doesn't stop. Explain to them that you are afraid of her inflicting bodily harm.

Last: tell your Mom to read what I have just wrote you. I'm 30 years old, and a Teacher, and many students are now inflicting violence on other students, even in "Middle Class" neighborhoods, not just poor neighborhoods. About 1 year ago, a 13 year old girl was killed in school by her classmate. This is very serious and not a joke.

Answer 3

Most email services allow you to block an email address.

For instance, if you are using Yahoo mail, on the upper right hand corner of Yahoo Mail Beta, click on Options and then select Mail Options, then look for the Block Addresses link on the left hand side and click on that. Add her email address(es) there, you can block up to 500 addresses.

Answer 4

She can't break your computer, she might have sent you a file but you were the one that opened it and infected your own computer. Why are you online without your parents around and what are you doing opening emails from people that you don't know? If she keeps changing her email address then you don't know it's her....don't open any emails from people you don't know.

You can have a SAFE list on some email programs and then only people you know can send things to your INBOX and the rest goes into the JUNK MAIL or the TRASH.

If you are old enough to be on the computer alone with no supervision from your parents you are old enough to know not to open any emails from addresses that you don't recognize. End of problem.

You can't control the actions of other people....but you can most certainly control YOUR actions. Don't open them, don't read them, don't react to them, end of problem.

Answer 5

Save the e-mails as evidence and call the police.
Also ask for help and report her to your ISP Internet Service Provider, and/or whoever runs your e-mail account. Yahoo, Hotmail, Google, or whoever.

The best advice is KEEP ALL THE E-MAILS SHE SENDS YOU, AND REPORT THIS TO THE POLICE!!!
Making threats to someone is not only WRONG, IT'S ILLEGAL.

Answer 6

Just put it in the filter to trash any messages addressed from that account. Very simple. Or, ask your internet service provider to block all messages from that e-mail address. Most important, do NOT communicate with the sender of the undesired messages. Don't let the sender know you have done this.
The other thing to do, is set-up your e-mail, so that it rejects all e-mail messages addressed to you, unless they are already in your address book.

Answer 7

Sounds like you're both nuts. She broke your computer and it cost you a thousand bucks? Put down the crack pipe... You can buy an awesome computer for a grand. Who's really dumb enough to spend a grand on repairs? It's not a '64 Mustang, it's a crappy PC. Just block her. That's all you have to do, block her address. Don't flag it as spam, BLOCK it. Get a Mac.

Answer 9
