Cyberstalking On Girls: In today's digital age, while social media and the Internet have made communication easier, problems like online stalking have also increased. This is a serious issue, especially for girls, because unwanted messages, repeated calls, or relationship proposals affect their privacy and mental peace. Some important steps can be taken to avoid cyber stalking and stay away from the trap of unwanted relationships.

Ways to avoid cyber stalking

1. Keep social media profiles safe

Make your social media accounts private. Follow or accept friend requests only from people you know personally on Facebook, Instagram, or other platforms. Do not make personal information such as phone number, address, or date of birth public. Share profile pictures and posts with limited people only.

2. Avoid chatting with strangers as much as possible

. Avoid replying to chats or messages from strangers. If someone sends an unwanted message, block them immediately. Be cautious of those who start a conversation on social media on the pretext of 'relationship' or 'friendship'. Such people often try to obtain personal information.

3. Check privacy settings

Regularly check the privacy settings of social media and messaging apps. Set the last seen, profile photo, and status on WhatsApp to "Only Contacts". If you receive a call or message from an unknown number, ignore it and block the number if needed. Also, never pick up an unknown video call, as it can become a means of blackmailing.

4. Do not share personal things

Stalkers often try to reach you using small information, for example, never tell which event you are going to attend today. Apart from this, avoid using dating apps and get correct information about any stranger before meeting him. Do not go to meet anyone in a deserted place.

5. Report cyber crime

If someone repeatedly harasses or threatens you, immediately lodge a complaint with the cyber crime cell. In India, you can complain to the cyber crime helpline number 1930. Save screenshots, messages, and call details as evidence.
