Q: What can I do if someone refuses to leave me alone and keeps trying to message me online via any platform they can?
I have a very unstable friendship with an individual who because they went to my college I had to put up with, but my course finishes in two months and I want to end the friendship completely but this person is a very malicious and nasty individual who can turn on you very easily if he wants to. I know that when I try to leave he is gonna refuse to let me. He knows where I live where I work and all of my online accounts and email address.
A: If they do in fact start to harass you, you can get a restraining order. You can also in the meantime block them from viewing your social media accounts and block his email.
