Don't know how to help DD

DD is 16 and taking her GCSEs this year. She was abruptly dumped by her boyfriend of 10 months at the end of the summer and was devastated. The went to the same school but he was leaving to go to 6th form college. She had always planned to go to the same college before they were together - he knew this as we had discussed it. They are a similar age and live in the same area so of course want to do the same things. He recently found out she was going to the same event as him in December and she got angry messages from some of his friends some of whom she has never met saying that she is stalking him and should leave him alone and the only reason she is going to this college is because he is there. He has blocked her so she cant contact him. To make things worse her school friends are still in touch with that group of boys. They are not particularly good friends to each other as I think they are more concerned about staying in touch with this group of boys. She is now considering going to another college as she is worried she will have no friends when she gets there as they would have spread these rumours about her. I have suggested I contact the ex boyfriend so he can come round and they can talk as i think they need to accept they are going to be at the same events/college and are going to need to deal with it but she says that will make it worse. She suffers from anxiety and this is really pushing her to her limits. I really dont know how to help her. What would you do?

Honestly I don't think you can do anything apart from support her at home. I would have been MORTIFIED if my mum had got involved with an ex!
