My dad stalks me on social media, Help?

[Anonymous]

You see... My dad is stalking me on many of my social media. I don't mind him stalking me on my facebook & twitter but im annoyed about him stalking me on instagram. I can't really post anything without him seeing it. He follows some people so he won't just quit instagram cus i want him to. The only thing i want is for him to stop following me. I just don't want to go up to him and say: Hey dad, can you stop following me on instagram please? Thanks. I find that a little heartless... Any help? Thanks ^.^

You see, i don't really want to delete my account because i use that account to store all of my good memories on it, i have over 1000 posts, and i don't wish to delete those memories.
Also its a great way for me to communicate with my friends because everyone is on it & i don't want to loose all of my friends that are following me because it will take for ever to spread word of my new account w/o posting on my account saying: "i have a new account ____, dad don't follow me"
Thanks

He’s fulfilling his fatherly duty by being protective of you. You young people forget that Instagram isn’t some safe place where you can just post selfies and try to make your life look exciting and fun all day. Predators lurk on the internet and use the naïve, egotistical mentality of young folks to perv on them, steal their pictures, and in some cases even stalk them. It’s absolutely crazy to me how this upcoming generation is so overly concerned with self-presentation on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Youtube, and/or Vine that some of you are completely unrealistic and absolutely unaware of how many sexual predators are out there and the easy access you give them.
It also has something to do with you being underage. I’m sure he just wants to make sure you’re not whoring yourself out online and losing your self-respect so that you can get a bunch of likes that truly don’t mean sh*t at the end of the day.

You are lucky to have a father who gives a damn. There are so many messed up young girls and grown women who will eternally have problems because they didn’t have a dad like you who went out of his way to be protective and show that he actually gives a f*ck.

Why is it that you're so interested in getting your dad not to follow you?

You see... He isn't being protective because at the beginning i ASKED him to follow me cus i wanted to show him what i was doing. He IS NOT a protective father & is only following to know what i'm up to as i don't see him all the time as my parents are divorced. I just wanna post some stuff but all that does is make him go "awwww i'm so proud of you" or "awww your so pretty" or "i don't get the joke" or embarrass me in front of my friends. I'm actually not underage as i am the legal age to get instagram :\ I'm on private & i don't care about likes. I just want to share picture of my friends and myself to some friends to tell them what i was up to. Or maybe do a little fashion shoot to show my friends what i bought.

Tell him you deleted your instagram account and change your username. Change your profile picture and make it not of you. Then go private forever. It's the only way

Your dad is just trying to look out for you and make sure you're safe online. What sort of things do you want to post that you think he won't like?

[Asker]

Its not that ill post something he won't like. Its that ill post something that will have him go: wow or you look great & post random comments that embarrass me in front of my friends :\

[BellePepper]

Has he done that before?

[Asker]

Embarrass me? Yea, all the time :\

[BellePepper]

Have you been able to talk to him about it?

Save your photographic memory in other places. Private places. There are so many out there. Just don't let him know about your new profile in that new location. I save my photos in an eternal hard drive, computer hard drive, my email, and Facebook.

As long as you're under his roof and under 18, he's entitled to it.

Change your username or make it private but in my case if you have a discord server like I have or have a youtube channel that won't be easy. Insta , fb same and lastly any other just do the same

If you don't want people to know what you're doing then you probably shouldn't be doing it.

Make a new one and private it?

My dad stalks me in real life

Close all social media accounts and register under new names and email addresses. Refrain from sharing revealing information publicly. Or just stop using social media. Both would work.*

[atomique]

Closed most social media accounts. Problem solved

[jimena]

Leave that account there and make a secret new one

[Dandeus]

Make your profile private.

[Asker]

it is now but since he's already following me it doesn't matter :\
