Everyone looks at FB differently. If I can do something that keeps someone from being hurt or upset, I'll do it, because FB as an entity HAS caused some hurts and upsets. If you were too quick to accept a request and as a result became uncomfortable that Sasha from jr high now knows about your lousy relationship with your mother, I would wager that Sasha is not the one with the problem.

This is exactly my point - everyone looks at Facebook differently. Therefore, don't immediately get offended and think, "Oh em geeee! This person hates me!" when they could be taking my approach to the whole thing.
Don't get me wrong - I'd be a little confused if my best friend dropped me on Facebook. However, a sister who I haven't seen or really talked to in 5 years.. I don't think I'd be freaking out about it.
I think the OP needs to analyze her relationship with the person who has dropped her from FB, and if it's really bothering her, she should talk to that person about it.
And trust me.. I don't post enough information about myself on Facebook to care what anyone is able to see. It's just a matter of, "Well, this person requested me, they haven't attempted to talk to me, they never update their status or comment on any of mine, and I haven't seen or talked to them since elementary school.. so what's the point?"
ETA: it appears as though the posters above me have done the same thing, and so have many of my friends. Doing a little spring cleaning of Facebook friends is nothing new.
