Case 3

• They get annoyed and say you’re being paranoid.
• They continue to pressure you to share your phone number. When you refuse, they ask for other personal information – where you live, what school you go to.
• When you refuse to give any personal information, they say things to try to make you feel bad – that you will never make any real friends if you don’t learn to open up and they won’t waste any more time with someone so paranoid. They suddenly stop messaging for a few days.

Next step: what do you do now?

• Feel bad and message them again, sending your number

• Just stop talking to them and move on

• Report them and check your privacy settings
