Dear Predators,
(I spend a lot of time writing in this blog about certain animalian predators that live in Yellowstone, like bears. This blog entry will be a little different; it's about the predator that is the human animal. Please don't be worried about me, as I am currently surrounded by some of the coolest, kindest, awesomest folks. A friend of mine, on the other hand, is not. This blog entry is in reference to current events in her life.)
Could you kindly take a moment and read this little note and realize what awful pieces of creepiness you are?
If you call a person incessantly and they don't return your calls, they don't like you, leave them alone.
If you send a person entirely unrequited text messages, they don't like you, leave them alone.
If you invite yourself over to a person's house without invitation, you're pushing your limits, leave them alone.
If you've been told not to come over to a person's house and you still drive by multiple times, you've crossed the line, leave them alone.
If you go to someone's house when they aren't home and try to go in to wait for them inside only to find that the doors are locked, you are a stalker, leave them alone.
If you wait for hours in your car outside a person's house when they aren't home or when they're sleeping inside, you are a stalker, leave them alone.
If you blame the other person when confronted for all your wrongdoings in this situation, you even more of a predator, leave them alone.
Predators like you are some of the awfulest people upon this planet. You intentionally cause harm, fear, and duress among the segments of society that you harass. You cause those people to change their lifestyles. You cause those people to change their life outlooks.
You are sick, sick people. Do us all a favor, go crawl in a hole and die. Seriously.
Sincerely,
Meghan

Life is scary sometimes. I hate people.

This is one of my favorite posts, not for the enjoyment of what is happening to your poor friend, but because of the strength and emotion in your writing. Spooky, obsessed stalker men rank up there with Hitler, Pol Pot, and seal clubbers.

Beyond your post, from a factual standpoint, it sounds like: 1) law enforcement should be involved (informed at the very least if it has not been done;) 2) your friend and those who care for her, should be looking for (if applicable) some community/neighborhood support and protection.
Trying to reason with the unreasonable is very difficult. Eloquence, while providing a release valve for frustration and fear (to some extent,) is not necessarily understood or taken seriously. Hence, effective. Unwittingly, it may even provide the sort of attention-grabbing acknowledgement or exagerration that is precisely what is being sought by unreasonable individuals. Before ugly labels stick, it could be a case of eerie shyness, or an unacceptably clumsy courtship attempt, which may taper off and disappear by itself. However it could also be something way more dangerous and difficult to decipher.
I'd be inclined to seek protection, assistance and support, as quickly as possible.
