I got doxxed by a troll on a forum , the troll posted my real full name and school including my grade level , pics of a Facebook account which the troll thinks it's me but isn't because I don't have any mainstream socials. The troll keeps pasting my name and pics from the Facebook profile everywhere on the forum, what do I do ???

Doxing is legally classified as harassment and is a criminal matter; contact law enforcement. Even if they don't do anything you'll get in their records so when your harasser tries to do something (like swatting) they'll know that something is up.
