Make sure that your account is set to private and that you only accept people you know and trust, and have already met face-to-face offline, as friends or followers. It’s also important that you make use of further settings to control who can do things like contact you or see your activity. It is usually best to limit these to be completely private or accepted friends only. It’s a really good idea to set up your accounts with an adult so together you can work out which settings are best.
