I am so upset, this group of people on Facebook are going around saying I am a troll and am trying to scam people and this is not true! They even made a group about me to warn other people about what a crazy scammer I am. And they wouldn't let me join the group to defend myself, and after I tried to join they made the group closed so now they can talk trash about me without me seeing it. They even threatened to try to find me in real life. This is all because I was venting on many FB groups about issues with my mom an church group.

Have you tried reporting the group?

Possibly legal action could be taken for slander or whatever it is.

How about staying away from silly Facebook? The place is a breeding ground for the stupid. I've never had a Facebook account and never will.

Report them to Facebook!

Report it and then please go about your life. Dont let facebook and the nonsense bog you down.

You should leave all the groups that are related to that one. I would find another place for support. facebook is fraught with misunderstandings.

Facebook can be such a toxic cesspool ...

Never post personal stuff on facebook, keep it for somewhere like here where people will (should) understand.
Being attacked when you are already hurting is painful and unfair. There are many morons on facebook. Delete your profile, don't post or read this crap any more.

So true. A playground for narcissists.

Facebook is not real life. Unfortunately people feel free to express every stupid thing that runs through their minds. I wouldn't take any thing on there seriously. And it's a mistake to put your personal feelings out there for the public to ridicule. Maybe you can find something more edifying to do?

As has been said, report them. Facebook has a strong whatchamacallit against bullying. Also, block and/or ignore them; not overly important, in the grand scheme of things, although it might not feel like it.

Real threats should always be reported, technically. I personally ignore some of them because they're more likely just frustrated little children acting out, to be quite honest with you, or adults who clearly never grew up; I don't think I've ever been threatened by someone I thought really meant to carry out their threat; most of these idiots are just cowards that wouldn't have the man-bits to say jack-crap to our faces; they likely get off on scaring strangers because it makes up for how weak they feel in their "real" life. You know, how kids bully other kids at school, because they either get bullied themselves by kids at school, or by their parents, or siblings. I've been there myself... I was a bully for all of one day... at primary school... know what happened? I believe I cried and apologised to the kid; I recall us then being friends. Why can't bullies be like that? xD

Honestly, Facebook isn't that bad if you're just sensible with whom you add and always keep in mind that there could be an idiot at any turn, when commenting on outside stuff.

I've used Facebook for many years and not really had much in the way of trouble there. Sure, there's morons there, but you just ignore them, and if you really want, you can just ignore all comments and stick with talking to your friends, sharing stuff on your wall, and doing whatever else on there. I am, however, not one of those people with 300+ "friends"; I have 14 people there, 8 of whom are family or local friends/acquaintances, the rest are people I've known online for a long time and therefore feel I can trust them enough to have them on my Facebook wall and what-not. I choose very carefully with what I make public.

^^^Well stated.

If you sense the threats are serious, I'd report them. If it's in writing, the threats, at least send that off to Facebook. There's a line that needs to be drawn. Whatever the threat, slander or of a physical nature, it's harassment, and such behavior is better off addressed asap.
Sorry your feelings are hurt, it's painful when dealing with it. Remember, just like IRL, not all around are the bully. Just usually, if you don't stand up for yourself, it could escalate. Not everyone knows to defend or how, and it is a better feeling to take your own initiative.
