Stalking: As shown in an episode of ‘Peep Show’


Everyone has a different perception of what stalking is because more often than not, we exaggerate when using the term. For example, a girl could say that she is being stalked when in fact a boy is merely showing an interest in her. However, when does this ‘interest’ turn into full-on stalking?

Is it when (as shown in the clip) the person shows up wherever you are? Or when the person follows you home? When they make sure that they change their plans so that they meet yours?

The definition of stalking can be broadened as well as limited. The rule that we must always remember is that when a person of interest beings to feel uncomfortable, its time to BACK OFF!

Stalking is usually seen as something bad merely because the sheer lack of privacy. But it is so much more than that. It begins with the invasion of privacy but leads to bigger ‘badder’ things such as theft to please said person. I wouldn’t say that stalking is a small thing, but in comparison to the things that it could lead to, it is miniscule. BUT STILL WRONG!!!

Hoever, this is just one persons opinion... Others (as shown in the article below) would argue otherwise:
