Badgering girl brought up with small notebooks (10)
I believe the answer is:
harassment
'badgering' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'girl brought up with small notebooks' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'girl' could be 'ara' and 'ara' is found in the answer.
'small' could be 'sm' and 'sm' is located in the answer.
'brought' could be 'sent' (sending is a kind of bringing) and 'sent' is found in the remaining letters.
A single letter 'h' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
(Other definitions for harassment that I've seen before include "Means trash (anag.)" , "Constant intimidation" , "Persecution" , "Intimidating behaviour" , "Perhaps stalking" .)
