You should get off social media as you are not stable enough to be able to use it objectively. Try going outside.

First you said you're not a creepy stalker, then in the very next paragraph you say you cyber-stalked the girl. Stalking in general is a creepy activity, so you sound like a weirdo that needs social skills.

Also, "EVERYBODY" doesn't cyber-stalk like you thought:

You seriously need help, not friends.

Actually, that says good things about the other kids. I keep hearing stories of girls being cyber-bullied when nude photos are leaked of them. In this case, the school turned against the leaker. Kudos to them.

I've never cyber-stalked anyone, nor do I have any interest in doing so. There is no one that I find even remotely interesting enough to cyber-stalk.

You need to examine why you think that is normal, though I am only 50/50% that this is a legitimate thread.

Agreed. Her being shunned and marginalized by the other students shows a surprising degree of ethics and morality for teenagers.

There are some people in this world who really should NOT have internet access. Period. For any reason.

I think she is one of those people.

This is just - unbelievable is the only way I know how to put it.

You are nowhere near cautious enough. Actually, by giving up your mother's maiden name you have made it easier to identify you with *more* certainty...if any of this is true...and, given that 'Thalia' is the mythological Greek Muse of Comedy, I kind of have to wonder...

#HavingAHardTimeBelievingThisIsReal
Agree 100% with you Zymer... that was my initial impression, but on the off chance this was for real, I wanted to offer helpful advice rather than declare this a trolling attempt. Whatever the case may be, no one should ever use any personally identifying information on a public forum.

OP, the title of your thread says it all: You were rejected on social media by someone you thought was your friend. You thought she was your friend but she wasn't, and to make that clear to you she rejected you on social media. I'm not sure where the issue is.

People, this is a high school kid you are talking to here. You are bordering on bullying a kid.

I think everyone should lighten up a bit on her and be a bit more understanding. She probably doesn't have parents she can talk to about this stuff, and all the adults here giving her a hard time are not helping her any.

She's just a kid who is struggling with boundaries.

This kind of thinking is the problem with today's society. If you tell someone something they don't like, it's "bullying" or "hating" or some other nonsense because no one has any skin and no one is allowed to voice an opinion if it hasn't been watered down to spare feelings. I miss the days when older folks would check your actions and straight up tell you that you're outta line without fear of being reprimanded by a bunch of snowballs that need safe zones.

Do you cyber-stalk people you've never even met? Do you release nude photos of your "friend"? If you condone these actions, then you're encouraging irrational behaviors like these by default...which contributes to the problem.

Go back through the posts... where she was told that is was good she was marginalized by her peers; where she was called a weirdo; where she was called mentally unstable; where she was compared to a six year old; where she was called a psycho; where she was compared to the crazy lady in Misery; where she was called a serious stalker.

You think treating a kid in this manner is good? If so, I feel very sorry for you and any kids that you might have.

If there is anything wrong with "today's society", it is because it comes from a tradition of abuse towards kids. If anything, taking issue and realizing that it is wrong to fling bullsh!t like this towards a high school kid is what will make society better.
