Last night while she was out with her friends, Ava took a group selfie and posted it to her Twitter account. A student she didn't know responded, telling her she was beautiful. She saw the post, smiled, and went back to having fun. Soon after, she got another message asking why she hadn't responded. She ignored the message and turned off her phone. This morning, she found a series of increasingly angry and aggressive messages that this person sent her overnight. What should Ava do?
