Yes right point, if we start thinking about our own self respect and safety we would never fall into these temptations BUT it is our age (hormones) which tempts us unconsciously to fall into trouble I guess. So according to me it is us who have to be aware of such things and mostly our parents way of raising us!! They should raise us by sharing incidents that happened before because of social media from our childhood on wards however once we grow up nothing can stop as from falling into trouble EXCEPT OUR OWN MIND!
    Agree, If we do awareness seminar and long lectures for school students they will get bored. We have to do it in a interesting and motivational way. Yeah our age( hormones) is the problem that's why i said we should follow our self discipline and being self controlled. I accept that our parents should raise us, To face the daily challenges in our society.
    You're not going to master the rest of your life in one day. Don't stress. Master the day. Make this a daily reminder.

    For that, i don't have an answer. The victims should speak up, because that might give all the victims around the world to feel supported. Talking helps. These victims commit suicide, for the reason that people around the do not know about what they're going through or they choose not to understand their plight.

    We're past the point of asking justice from the government. We need to stand up for the victims. In social media we all see what happens...just a like and share. That is the maximum support we provide to these victims. Our actions should speak for ourselves, not our mouse clicks. We women have to learn to support other women. Most of the time, it's the ladies who slander other women. Bitter truth.

    Okay. I just want to add few point which may help anyone being protective. I'll break it to TWO parts as Stalkers & Hackers.

    To be protective from Hackers, you may do the following:


    • Fist ever thing to do is enabling "Login Notification", which will let you know if someone else logged in (via Hacking)
    • As we do in Emails, check you activities, locations, devices, you logged-in. You can find any delicious activities there
    • Make sure to enable Login Approvals or Two-Factor Authentication
    • ​Don't use the same password everywhere on the web, done Tick the Remember Password option or Keep me logged-in option. And DO use a Password Manager
    • Keep your browser updated, and enable Secure Browsing
    • Dont ever click on untrusted URLs, see this post if need more information
    • Finally, Make sure you Log Out when you don't use the application


    To be protective from Stalkers, you may do the following:


    • First ever thing you could do is blocking stalkers without seeing you in Facebook. This can be done through Privacy settings of Facebook.
    • If you know a particular starker, block them through the Profile and Report them
    • Stop allowing people to search your name in FB, which may make the starkers search your profile. Again it's possible thorough Privacy Settings
    • Don't make every information public, which may give them clues about you and aid them in getting you
    • Don't allow friend requests from everyone, but restrict them
    • MORE THAN EVERY THING, use your HEAD, and be proactive, and be preventive.

    Maintaining a self discipline at only a certain period of time won't really bring a change. Don't you think so?
