Face book question. Teenager panicking!

One of the teens I work with is in complete panic!.She was accepted as a friend of a young man she liked. Apparently she liked one of his posts and commented on another first thing yesterday morning. She spent a lot of time scrolling through his posts throughout yesterday.
Last night he put a status up that he was being trolled so he is having a break from fb.
She swears she only liked and commented once. She is convinced he knows she has been strolling.
I don't think he would have known but don't know for sure.
What do people think?

So she's spending all this time fretting, being the vulnerable young person she is, because you didn't stop her worries dead at the first opportunity? You shouldn't have fed into this irrational fear. The school will be dealing with the consequences today, and she may be sending messages in the meantime in an attempt to 'clear her name' with the boy involved.

Incorrect.
I dont want to give false information about something that I dont know the answer to and damage a relationship that ha took a long time being built up. We talked about other general stuff and she went into school fine which is better than many mornings. In fact it is a great achievement getting her out of her house.

So you thought that her liking a photo and leaving a comment could equal trolling and that she could have been the cause of the boy taking a break from FB?
Something not quite right about this.

She's fine OP :) There's no way that he could know she's been scrolling through years of his wall unless the post she commented on was four plus years old. Commenting on one post and liking another won't be considered trolling! Almost certainly he's been commenting in groups or newspaper comment fields elsewhere and getting trolled there. It's just coincidence. I hope she feels better!

Like what?
I've had to change some details so that it is not outing and to keep as it is around someone I work with.
It was a simple question. She said she accepted a friend request from some she knows ( and I suspect has a crush on) she told me about the comment and liking a post and that's it but did look at all his posts ,(apparently) she panicked that he may now if she has been searching.
I asked the question here. Big deal.

If he had an issue with her looking at his post, he would have unfriended her. Tell her not to worry.

The kids I work with including this one are all over Snapchat, no one seems to use fb I use Insta so dont know much about GB.
