I confronted a friend about an issue we were having offline, and she had her boyfriend start texting me threatening messages saying how they were gonna come to my house and beat me up. I ignored them all and took them as empty threats. After I ignored them was when all the rumors and lies started going all around. MySpace posts were going up and had an overflowing response against me.
I keep getting tons of MySpace messages and text messages that are death threats from these people. I tried to be the bigger person and ignore the death threats, but the more I ignore them, the more violent the threats are getting.
At this point I really feel down on myself and don’t know how to stand up for myself to these people anymore without egging them on. I've already blocked them and done every logical step but nothing seems to stop all of this. I really don't know what to do anymore.
