Aakash loves chatting with his friends on a social media app. One day, he received
a message from someone he didn’t know. The person asked Aakash to share his phone

number to become better friends. Aakash was excited to make a new friend, but he felt a little
unsure about sharing his personal information.
He decided to talk to his older brother, Sameer, about it. Sameer told Aakash, “It’s always best

to be cautious when talking to strangers online. Never share your personal details, like your
phone number, with someone you don’t know in real life.”
Aakash agreed with Sameer and decided not to share his phone number. Instead, he blocked
the stranger and told Sameer about the conversation.

Based on the above case, answer the following questions:

1. What should Aakash have done if he felt uncomfortable with the message?

2. How can we stay safe while chatting online?
