happiest – “I think you are wrong about the criminal part.”

I’m not wrong. You’re very naive. Let’s say this a figment of her imagination (I’m not saying it is, but it could be), calling the cops could be (not definitely) considered harrassment.

Would you want someone calling the cops on you because you decided to stare at someone. I offered the most logical advice. I don’t think another high school girl is going to hurt her, nor do I think Frum managers at a grocery store are upto hurting other people.

First of all, she should tell her parents that she is not ever going back to this store and she should say why. Second of all, if she ever feels she is being followed by someone, she should call her parents immediately. They are adults -they can investigate. If they feel it is a matter for the police, they can call. If they feel she suffers from sort of paranoia, they can get her the help she needs. I feel a lot of the advice here is a disservice to this teenager. Noone here is able to judge up the situation and I don’t think anyone here except perhaps Aries is capable of judging up someone’s mental state. And this is difficult to do even for mental health professionals who do it in person.

I’ll reiterate my point – she should seek advice from her parents only and not from a bunch of anon. bloggers. Usually people can come here for advice and a lot of advice is on the mark, but I don’t see how anyone can accurately figure out what exactly is going on here. You need someone to be there in person to see how much this is imagination and how much is truth.
