Exclamation Being sued for 50k for something written on Facebook

I'm currently being sued for $50,000 for something I didn't do

heres a link for any info needed
http://www.citmedialaw.org/sites/cit...0Complaint.pdf

heres the problems

I did not create the facebook page but I know who did. I was kicked out of my school without having the opportunity to defend myself, and told that the only way they wouldn't sue me for creating the site was if I told them who did. I decided it was better not to, seeing as how that was my only leverage at the time.
I cannot afford a lawyer so I will be representing myself.

I am set to appear in court on thursday so an advice asap would be appreciated

You are not responsible for the other person's conduct but you need to put every piece of evidence together that you can show it was not you. And organize your thoughts.

If need be consult with a lawyer for an hour or so to help prepare. Maybe world law could assign somebody to help if you email them, or check with your local lawyers.

You could sue the school for damages if you truly had no involvement and they wrongfully expelled you.
