most days i go to my cousin's house after school because she lives quite near me. anyway it was about 4.30pm when i left and my mum asked me to go round to my grandma's house to pick up something. after that i was walking home when out of the blue along comes this man who is on the other side of the road. he walks there for a bit and i don't think anything of it because i thought he might be going down the hill which is near my house.

so i get to the end of the road and turn to where my house is, and the man does too. i turn my head slightly to see him but continue walking. then he follows me up the road and just stands there, smoking a ciggerette and watching me as i walk up the driveway.

he stood there for a moment before walking away.

i was terrified by this experience so i told my mum as i got in, but she just laughed it off and said i was over reacting.

i'm really scared to leave the house for school tomorrow incase the stranger will follow me, because i've heard of so many stories of children being kidnapped on the way to school.

can anyone give me some advice?

Could just be a coincidence. Anyway, do you have a mobile phone? If you do and you spot him again try and take a pic of him and ring your mum straight away.
