Ex friends are posting mean things about me on Facebook, how to I make it stop? :(?

[beautysonlyskindeep. <3]

Basically- I kicked my friend out of my group (charity, not group of friends) because she was manipulating people, gossiping about my friends, and trying to control everything. She responded to this my divorcing me on Facebook, dissing my group ("immature juniors", I'm a senior), saying she won't talk to us ever again, and by posting mean things about me. She posted something like "At least I don't have her face", her friend commented on their new FB marriage (using our date...), that "at least it is a step up", and a few of my ex friend's friends are posting a bunch of mean stuff about me. I wouldn't mind if it was just my ex-friend, but a bunch of people (including her friend's parents) are posting horrible things about me. I'm almost 18 and I'm trying to be an adult about this- I don't wanna be rude and say mean things about them. But I doubt they would talk to me, even if I tried to talk to them. It hurts- especially when they called me ugly- they know I'm self-conscious about my appearance, yet they would post that. I'm so furious, but at the same time I wanna cry. What do I do about them, especially my ex friend's friend's parent? I feel like they won't stop :/
Both of them were bullied in elementary school- and they know my insecurities which makes this work. I think I'm gonna start off by blocking them on Twitter, so they can't post any more mean things.

Just block all communications with them

What b*****!! I'm a junior, and I know this is very common, and called cyberbullying. People commit suicide from it. Block all commincations. Ignore them. And if it's nessasary, tell them what's up and the better stop girl! Thats so not OK...

If you are a senior in highschool you can actually tell the principal because this is considered "cyber bullying" so they can get expelled/suspended

You can't "make" anyone stop doing anything. There is a such thing as freedom of speech. The only way you could stop her would be if you sued her but this would cost you money and you would have to prove that her words were slanderous, untrue or that they harmed you physically, mentally or financially. That is a LOT of trouble to go through for some immature person who is talking crap.

The problem with "social" networks like facebook, twitter and things like that, is that they are NOT really social at all. For as much as the internet brings people together, when you live life in a facebook page, you miss out on real life. It ALSO means that any rude person who hates you can see what you are doing. Don't think un-friending people will fix this. People can make up fake names, use other peoples passwords or hack into your account.

Basically a "social" network is a bunch of bored people behind a computer screen. It is much easier to talk crap with a keyboard than it is to tell the person to their face. People who do this are cowards. If you want to invite cowardly douche bags into your life who insult you online, use Facebook regularly and you will find a TON of them.

Winners are out in the REAL world making friends, living life and talking to actual people. It is fine to use Facebook to promote your business or to stay in touch with friends and family BUT when you start letting Facebook comments have an effect on your happiness, maybe you need new friends OR maybe you need to log OUT of Facebook for a while and log back INTO real life.

Losers exist everywhere and that is life. But when you choose to put your personal information in a public place, people will leave nasty comments. If you don't like it, stop using Facebook. Especially if you are self conscious about your looks, maybe posting photos online isn't a good idea. Even really attractive people sometimes get nasty comments from haters. If you don't want nasty comments online, PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY! It is that simple. Best of luck!
