You shouldn't be too worried about it. Just ignore them and decline their requests.

As everyone else has said, just decline the request, and consider ignoring them.
But keep in mind, should you send them a message (like to ask "who are you?" or something), they WILL be able to see your profile for a short period of time (I believe it's one month).
To change this, click on "privacy" in the upper right corner, then click on "Poke, Message, and Friend request" in order to chose what info people can see if you poke them, friend request them, or message them.
Personally, I recommend unchecking things such as "Contact info", "Personal info", "Education info", "work info" and anything else you'd be uncomfortable with someone you message, poke, or friend request seeing.
But you may want to leave just a few things there, so that way if you friend request someone you DO know, they'll be able to know it's you.
Also, if you don't contact someone in any way, they cannot see your profile. So if you just block or ignore the people that keep adding you, they'll never be able to see your profile.
And they're probably just adding you because you left a comment on a group or an application or something like that. Some people will send requests to everyone they see.

I find that I sometimes get random friend requests when I write on the wall of an application. They might just be trying to increase the number of their Facebook friends. Ignore the requests and don't worry about it.

Decline their request. The only thing they should have been able to see is your name, school, and profile pic. The rest is private unless they are in your local or school network.
One thing to watch out for is if you send them a message to ask if you know them or something, they can see your profile for up to 30 days. So don't message anyone that you don't want seeing your profile!!!

I think they are trying to come to the U.S. I have had friend requests and messages from Turkish guys. And my friends too. Just ignore them.

Decline their request. Put your profile on private so that only your friends or people from your school can view your pics/profile. You definately don't want 20 year olds trying to message you.

That's happened to me too! I have NO clue how they found me, but I just blocked them all. You do that by going into "privacy" and then searching for the people you want to block, and they won't even know you exist.

I wouldn't worry, unless they try to contact you in person. They are probably just older creepy guys. Delete them from your facebook if you feel uncomfortable.

Keep denying them, theres a lot of creepy people on the internet so just don't accept them and you'll be fine.
