    This triggered me because in highschool my uncle's wife was Facebook stalking me, didn't realize she clicked on to the profile of a friend who wrote on my wall and then called my grandma to tell her how i was sneaking out to all the places my friend had posted about on his profile.
    I didn't realize what was happening when i got ambushed and screamed at for going places i never went on days.... I never left my house.
    Im lucky i was suicidal with crippling depression so i could easily point to the fact I was literally home all day everyday so there was no time for me to be lying about where i was going...
    I immediately went on Facebook when mid scream, they slipped that nobody "saw me at the places but somebody saw it on my Facebook wall". I went to my wall, pointed out there was nothing that was being described, then I saw my friend's post, clicked on his profile and found every fucking thing I was accused of doing.
    I wasn't even 16 at the time, I'm 28 now.... And I still won't accept any family on any social media. I don't even use Facebook anymore, I just update my profile picture like once a year to give the impression I use it regularly.... Just so they KNOW I saw their friend requests and REFUSE to acknowledge them.
