Handling Social Media Harassment

Summary

If you are experiencing harassment on social media, it is important to document all interactions and consider blocking the individual to prevent further issues. If the behavior escalates or becomes threatening, you may want to report it to the platform or seek legal advice. Mediation or speaking with authorities can also be helpful if the harassment occurs in a shared environment, such as a school. If you decide to take legal action, clearly define the outcome you hope to achieve.

There was a guy named Matt Arns I was friends with his sister named Katie ever since the third grade I was friends with her when I was in high school in the 9th grade when he messaged me on Facebook he was asking me how I know his sister and a bunch of questions and In a confrontational way but I answered them and when I asked him if he knew someone named Anthony he said "maybe" and he refused to answer my questions but he was expecting me to answer all of his the high school I went to is called Sachem High School East. Yes, Katie and the parents knew me for many years but he say super rude stuff to me and had me answer all his questions but refused to answer only one that I had.
Hi Patrick! It sounds like an uncomfortable situation. If Matt’s behavior becomes harassing or threatening, you might want to consider blocking him on social media and documenting the interactions. If it escalates, you can report it to the platform or even consider legal action. Is there anything specific you’re looking for regarding this issue?
Even Matt Arns that is Katie Arns older brother he was an asshole towards me. So much that I feel hatred towards him to this day. He messaged me asking how I know his sister in a defensive way and when I asked him if he knows Anthony Ciccolella and he said" maybe" At sachem east, he was also blocking me from going to something called the curb. And other times he seen me and never say hello.
It seems like Matt's behavior was upsetting. If it continues or becomes more severe, documenting each instance can be helpful. Have you considered speaking to someone who can mediate or provide guidance on handling this situation? If you're looking for legal action, what outcome are you hoping to achieve?
