Ex friends that want revenge

Back in college, I was semi friends with C. Another girl called T who was also at college kept telling me to add her on Facebook. I thought she was nice, but I didn't want to be close friends with T because I didn't think we would get along if we became friends and I knew that if I added her on Facebook, that she would try to become a lot closer and be friends. I eventually caved in because of the pressure she was putting on me to add her. I talked to her a few times on there (I liked her, I just didn't want to be close with her and I thought it would probably be okay to just chat) which I didn't think made us friends.

 

A couple years later, I became friends with A at CIT, but after a while I grew out of the friendship. I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I stayed friends with her.

 

I realized I also grew out of the friendship with C. My sister told me to just tell her I'm busy when she invited me to parties so I did that for a few years and after a while, she one day let me know that she was okay with me not hanging out with them anymore, but she was there if I needed her. I didn't understand what she meant though by the way she explained it to me so long story short, we ended up becoming friend-friends and she kept asking me to hang out and I felt like I was very wishywashy with all of it because I didn't know what to do.

 

I ended up deleting C and T on Facebook and trying to let A know as politely as I could that I didn't want to be friends anymore and I read on a site after this that they all want revenge on me for "pretending to be friends with them."

Everyone is saying I stopped being friends with them because they weren't popular enough and that I was only friends with them to try to get popular which isn't true and doesn't make sense when put together. I just grew out of the friendships and I didn't even know T and I were friends. I was friends with A for a long time because I knew it would really hurt her if I ever stopped being friends with her and because she gets furious when people stop being friends with her because she thinks people owe it to her to be friends with her.

 

I read on the site where people write mean things under people's names that C wrote "Earth girl is someone who pretends to be your friend for seven years and if any of her plans back fire, it all turns on you."

 

And under her name it says "C is a really good person, but if you hurt her in any way at all, she will get revenge on you and it will be so strategically planned that you won't see it coming."

 

Under T's name it says "Revenge is coming"

 

And under A's name it says "If you ever hurt A, she will find the perfect way to destroy you right before cutting you off." Even though I was the one who tried to NICELY end the friendship with her about six times because she kept asking if we could be friends again. Our friendship wasn't working out because I couldn't be myself around her and we didn't have any conversations that flowed and I just wasn't enjoying the friendship anymore.

 

Could I talk to the CIT about this even though we all stopped going there a long time ago? I don't know what else to do. Everyone is taking their sides too when they don't even know the full story, they just know what they want to believe.

 

Plus we are all 25+ years old and A is in her late 30's and they are still acting like this.

People told me to get professional support for this so I got a social worker and she just says there's nothing we can do about it, we can only change how you feel about it, but I want to actually do something about it such as talk to the CIT or someone in authority about it because I am being threatened. My Mum says since what they are doing is a threat that I could go to the police about it if I had proof of what they are doing. She also says she thinks their threats are all just talk which isn't true and it's also unfair on me for her to assume that. My parent's don't take this seriously.
