Just remeber one thing never avoid/hurt that person who really cares for you a lot Because caring peoples are too difficult to find :).
If you avoid someone, sadly I think their feelings will get hurt either way unless they have cartoon feelings.
Its not possible you can't avoid someone without hurting.
Get a restraining order, I think they will understand.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
