Hi there,
If anyone is ever stalking you or making you feel unsafe then telling someone is always the best thing to do. If you ignore it or try and cope on your own it will probably make it harder for yourself in the long term.
Facebook and other social networks can be really great. But it can also be easy for someone to find out about you and try and contact you when you dont want them to. The more private your account is, the better protected you are from this. For example, most social network sites like Facebook have settings that allow you to block friend requests from people you dont know. Find out more about blocking and reporting people on different sites.
If your dad starts to follow you in real life too, its okay to tell someone about it. And it's okay go to the police. You have a right to live in a place without fear. So if he has hurt you before then its important to make sure youre not put in any danger. If you explain to someone like the police whats happening then they might be able to make your dad stop, so its worth thinking about.
