I have recently moved into an estate that's full of council flats with the rest of my family, previously me and my family were used to a middle class life style so I am not like the people that live around me now, they are all in gangs and are involved in street crimes. I feel they are thinking of me as a target yesterday a girl who's a little older than myself picked on me for no reason the problem is she's local, I didn't do anything to her until she started speaking to me, and because she's in a gang and her gangs members were with her at the time I didn't respond like I usually would because I felt a little intimidated I really didn't know what to do, I blanked out then she started trying to tell me what to do eventually I walked away. I heard laughing as I walked off, I felt more scared just thinking about what had happened... I really didn't deserve that happening to me I'm a nice girl but I'm going to be living with people like that so do I need to grow more of a back bone? I can't have them walking all over me but at the same time I don't want to stand up for myself and end up getting stabbed/beat up. I really don't know what to do, I feel I can't win with them... If I'm too nice I am seen as a push over, if I respond back aggressively I am seen as a mouthy bitch and deserve to be beat up. I'm thinking it may have been because I still have nice clothes and other things from my previous life style could they be jealous? I can't have this happening I shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable in my new home.

well i would let the first one go but when it comes to it happening agian if it does yes they seem tough and want to be in the spot light showing off to their buddys yes i would show more backbone but just to say i haven't done anything to you leave me alone and their probably is alot of jealous people around you need not be laugh at because of a confirtation they think they need to prove a point but i wouldn't take that either if it happens agian i would just say i don't need this neither do you so lets put it to rest
