Deny the Request

Even though you’re a bit bored with what your current friends are posting, it’s probably best to ignore this one. You don’t know who they are, they aren’t friends with anyone you know, and you’re not sure how they found you. You decide not to accept their friend request.

Person Blocking a Friend Request

Why would someone want to friend you who doesn’t know you or any of your friends? Are there some risks to accepting random friend requests?

What would make this person safe to accept as a friend?

Maybe they are in a different class at your school - or they are a family member or friend of one of your friends from school. Finding these things out before accepting a friend request is a great way to keep yourself safe online!

Only share your profile with people you know. Be very careful accepting friend requests from strangers!
