My neighbors don;t respect because I did not punish and beat up my neighbor? Should I have?

So sorry to hear about your neighbors! Theres nothing worse than not even being respected in your own home. I don't think that you should compromise your morals, especially for such a seemingly stupid man. I know it is cliche, but he's really not worth it. Try listening to your IPod when you're outside so you don't have to hear them and it will be easier to ignore them. If they threaten you call the cops. That is the best thing you can do and eventually maybe they will get the hint. The less you react the less fun it will be for them and the more likely they will be to stop. I really hope that things get better!
