My ex-boyfriend keeps posting private things about me on my Facebook page and I won’t see them until I am out of school. I take them down but I don’t know who has read them. I don’t want people knowing what we did.
While Facebook and MySpace can be a fun and healthy way to communicate with your friends, it can also be a place to be bullied, harassed and/or stalked.
You should be allowed to be friends with an ex-partner on one of these sites without having to worry about being picked on, harassed or even have all of your private information spilled. Unfortunately, it seems like your ex-boyfriend is not your friend and does not respect you.
The easiest thing to do is change your password and block your ex. You can even give Facebook a different email address to be contacted in case you are worried he may try to hack your password.
I understand that at first you may be worried about hurting your ex’s feelings but he clearly does not care about yours.
A more difficult solution to this issue is to confront him about why he would post personal information about you and tell him that you do not like it, even if he thinks it is a joke. Ask him to stop and if he doesn’t: block! block! block!
If you have blocked him and he continues to harass you, you may want to speak to an adult about what your options are, especially if it begins happening outside of the Internet.
Your information is for you to share and only for you to share. The same goes for other’s information. It is important to respect each other and to allow for privacy.
