Solution
If my friend is using a fake social media account to play a prank on others, I would immediately talk to him/her and make him/ her understand that this is wrong and can also be offensive. I will try to explain myself by giving real-life examples. However, if I do not succeed with my convincing then I will inform his/her parents, family members, or mentors about this and stop my friend from committing this mistake.

They won’t eat peas, don’t like your bread -
For something in it crunches;
They gag on fat, the gravy’s gross,
They won’t eat grapes in bunches.
Tomatoes, onions, peppers, fish
Garlic nor cottage cheese;
Oh, it’s a dish uncommon rare
That truly seems to please.
No red sauce may the ice cream have,
“It’s bleeding,” they will say;
And gravely hand it to their mum
To take it to clean away
But let us speak of chocolate cake,
It must be frosted o’er;
They’ll devour three full slabs,
And calmly ask for more.
Oh, I do so always love to eat
With picky little pests,
Whose parents joy to make them
The most undesirable guests!
