Definitely tell an adult or someone else that you can trust. Don't give out any personal information, especially your social media handles or your address.

Stalkers must be reported to a position of law. If you are being stalked you should tell an adult right away.

The first and foremost thing you should do is speak to your friends and family. After that, go to the police. Explain to them what is happening. They will try to help, but still make sure friends and family know.

all you have to do is report them. if you respond to a stalker they think that you are interested in talking and continue, you have to report or block them.

you can block them, or you could report them or call the cops. Stalkers just keep going at it so if you call the cops or do something to stop it eventually they will give up.

Well, you apply different measures depending on the level of stalkness.
If people follow you and they like to see that you know they're there, then that is worrying.. If they do it frequently and it affects you, which I presume it does, then you should try to contact people that can do something about it. Your parents, or maybe the police if it gets worse.
If it's not as severe as I think it is, you should try to approach that one person and tell him or her that it bothers you, I think they'll stop.

Just continue the things that you are doing and don't let them bother you.
If time comes that this stalker started to make you feel uncomfortable, ask for help to the persons around you.

First ask them to go away, if that doesn't work the best thing to do would be going to the authorities and reporting your case

Honestly that's kind of complicated, but if it's getting to a point where you feel paranoid every time you look at your surroundings then you should probably get a restraining order and/or contact some kind of law enforcement such as the police. If you feel like a person is stalking you, it wouldn't really be a good idea to confront that person face to face especially if you're alone because it can become dangerous.

Call the police, get yourself safe, be aware of your surroundings, let your friends, employer and family know about your situation. Do not travel alone and please do not be ashamed to get help, do not hide or take matters into your own hands.

Try and tell someone that could stop the person, or call a cop to tell them what they are doing to hurt you, or make you uncomfortable.

First of all, I think the most important first step is to immediately block the person. If they continue to harass you, you must then seek further help. (ex- emailing 7Cups)

Go to the police, see if it's possible to get a restraining order. If possible get help from a counsellor experienced with stalkers. Don't be shy to tell your loved ones and co-workers so they don't give out information. If needed, change your number and just share with people you can be sure that they won't share it. Be strong, you can go through this - don't let yourself be emotionally manipulated.

Explain that they are bothering you to them. If they don't leave you alone, call the cops on them and report a stalker. If the cops don't do anything, then you have yourself a real problem, but most likely the cops will deal with them and remove them from where you are.

Tell someone about it so that the person could protect you from them and keep you safe, as soon as the stalker realizes that you have someone to protect you, he will stop.

Immediately tell an authoritative figure or a friend. If you have a stalker, do not wait until they take action. Even if you feel unsure whether that person is stalking you or not, don't wait.
