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)

You should probably tell someone it's happening. It depends on the intensity though. If they are actually tracking you you should report it to the police.

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.

Be sure not to give away any of your personal information such as Skype, twitter, ect. If they continue it, be sure to report it

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.

Report them. The police are starting to take these kinds of crimes very seriously (finally), so if you present them with evidence you may be able to obtain a warning for the offending party, or a restraining order if it's serious. If it's online, remember to take screenshots, which can help your case greatly, but don't edit them in any way- this can be detected and will count against you in a legal case.

Ignore them. If they bother you too much, report them to the authorities, admins, teachers, your parents. Just inform people with authority that you're being stalked and they're harassing you.

if the stalker is not threatening you then ask for some personal help. tell your friends or family about it. if the stalker is threatening you then go to police . And don't tell you're information to the stalker.
