After commenting this with some of my friends and family; I noticed that I'm running out of options and solutions. I know that this is an animation forum, but I also know that there're some people that can help me with this problem and give their opinions about this.
I'll start from the beginning of this year. I started university, and I made a really good friend he was kinda shy when I first met him but when we started to talk he was a really nice guy he had tye same tastes in music and games and we were really good friends, we shared a few months most of them talking about ourselves and stuff, just like when you met someone with who you can have a long and entertaining conversation.
I noticed that this guy was getting too "close" to me in some moments like hugging me to hard and tickling me and those kinds of things, I had a feeling that I liked him, but he never told me ; I tried to be like I didn't notice it because I just wanted him to be my friend. Around June of this year our university was having some problems with the government and a lot of universities stopped their classes for like 2 months.
I live 1:30 minutes away from the university, is in another city so I just stayed at my home and kept contacting my friend through chat. I noticed that he messaged me each minute of the day. Sometimes I just couldn't answer because I have a life and help my family with things at my house most of the time, and then I received messages like "why you don't answer??? Don't you care about me?" I obviously replied saying that that wasn't true I did care about him and I just didn't have time to answer him, he was like this everyday all the day, 24/7. I was getting tired of it. Even when we played online games he just wanted to play with me and only me, and if I refused he would go all depressed like "why don't you play with me?" "your online friends are more important right?". Then he started to get really annoying, and it was when he told me about his feelings to me, I did liked him, a LOT, and when I tried to explain him that I didn't feel the same for him.... the nightmare started...
He created an account here on sp only to send me messages, and see what I do, after a few conversations he said that he would commit suicide if I don't like him, he already tried to, and went to an hospital for not eating or drinking water (yeah he decided to "die" that way) then he said that he never wanted to see/talk to me again, so I stopped messaging him. After a few days he got all pissed cus I didn't message him, and used really harsh curses in his message. I told my mom and she decided to call him by phone but he never answer, she told me to stay calm and try to talk to him again. I was too afraid to do it so I just ignored him.
Then when we got back to classes I noticed that he was just sitting at the bottom of the classroom not talking to anyone, anyone, absolutely anyone, just watching. I don't know what this guy is capable of, I don't want anything bad to happen to him cus... damn he was a really nice person; but honestly... I don't know what to do now. If he tries to do something, I don't know what may happen. And if I go to the police this would just make the problem worse.
If you have any tips, or a similar situation, or just an smart opinion, please post it, and don't take this as a joke. I was afraid of posting this because this guy has an account here and he knows english pretty well, he hasn't been online lately but he always lurks around, I'm just taking the risk because I really know that some of you guys might help me, or at least cheer me up.
A serious problem...

Sorry. You all would just flame him and stuffs. I can't tell.
Cronos. I've told him everything in the post already. That's why he went all psycho in the first place.

I've known a few people in a situation somewhat similar to this (mostly without the other person trying to kill themselves). I don't want to say you should contact the police, but there may come a point where you might have to, whether you like it or not. For now though, I would keep a close eye on the situation, keeping a watch for any sign of something that might become dangerous. Other than that, I don't really know much that could help the situation.

Camila came to me about the problem and I tried every realistic possibility there is to be at her disposal. But apparently, majority have been either tried or can't be done without making things too serious or out of reach. I'm here in Chicago while she's in Chile with a guy who would/might do anything bad to her. I'm fucking worried to the point of just hoping and praying that everything would just end. There's nothing I can do physically to protect her.
There is still one possible solution that might lead things out smoothly. Tell the school principal about the whole problem. The possibility of the principal of the school to take the guy to a psychologist or tell his parents would be pretty good, but there could be some twists in the story that the guy might tell. If the guy has records of his behavior at a hospital, then things can be sorted out pretty smoothly.
I'm sorry if I sound pretty pessimistic. I'm only being realistic.

I agree with Yun's idea about talking to the principal (or guidance counselor) about this situation. That hadn't even crossed my mind. It would cause much less drama, and be much more privately handled than anything else I can thing of.
Aug 22, 2013 9:25 PM #1072104
But it would be only the principal if you tell it to your family it would be more complicated.

Haha
Damn, someones got a pretty severe case of pussy-dependency disorder.
As for your issue, there is absolutely nothing you can do to help this person yourself, as you are the source of the issue here whether you would like to be or not.
And the problem can never become the solution,
that's just how things work.
You said that you'd already told him all the things you're telling us, so the best thing you can do right now is leave him alone.
It sounds like this guy has SOME kind of mental issue or problem or something that he needs to get sorted out himself.

I'll probably just ignore him and try to keep with my life but, will he ever try to do something to me? And also, is extremely uncomfortable to be with this person in the same classroom everyday.

There's no way to know. Which is why, even though you are going to ignore him, keep a watchful eye, and maybe have a few more to watch with you, to make sure that if he were to try something, it would be just that. Him trying, not succeeding. Hell, maybe not even getting to try.

Well, for starters, have you told anyone of authority about his suicidal tendencies? And, you have no guarantees as to whether or not he'll try anything, that's just something you're going to have to live with. I suggest not thinking too much into it

I assume his suicidal tendencies are something apparent since he did publicly go to the hospital for it. I think the school probably understands it, but they most likely do not know the Camila's relation to the situation. However, it would be a good idea to talk to someone like the principle - as Oblivion mentioned - and get someone else involved. At least that way, your issue isn't something that you and only you are fighting against. Who knows, maybe the teacher might even know to keep a watchful eye on your interactions.
