ok so i went out last thursday and i curently attend college, the night was fine and i decided to go upto the local takeaway which is known for certian people causing trouble all the time, nothing happened and then i found myself walking home with a friend but on the way home he noticed 3 cars following us which was the same people who usualy cause the trouble, so we hid and evuntualy got safely home but i was hoping that was the last of it but today the same people pulled up beside me and started trying to talk to me but i couldn't understand what they were saying i was too scared to do anything other than walk, i got home but am curently so scared atm and i was wondering how can i deal with this situation as the chances are they will bother me again at some point, please someone help! 🙁

Report the activity to the University Police/Security. If they do nothing or stonewall you, report it to the police.

One more piece of advice:

Regardless of what the police choose to do, notify your university's LBGT student group, and they may be able to put the screws on the administration.

One thing you may want to try and do is always walk against the flow of trafic. If they do start following you in their car turn around and walk the other direction. It is harder to turn a car around. If you can walk on streets with one-way traffic. I have successfully used the strategies in very dangerous cities like Tijuana, Mexico. Always try to walk with a friend at night.
