OMG, i had that same problem, but mine escilated to a much more intense factor.  What i would tell you would do, that is doesn't matter what other people think about you, as long as your BF knows that you like like him (i wont say love because that might be to deep) then it doesnt matter.  I know noone whats to hear that because from my own experiance just believing that wont help and that is probally what you dont want to hear.  what i would do is spread rumors that is she/he is a lieing bi*ch and then more people would like to beleive you than her because if they think she is a lier then they would believe you...well i hope i helped!  Oh and one other thing.  Dont become her freind again!  i made that mistake, move on, that is what i found out too late

You may not be gay, but your actions have now opened a can of worms.  If your friend is a true friend, she wouldn't be spreading rumors.  The best thing you can do is to talk to her and try to straighten it out.  If that doesn't work and the rumors persist, there isn't much you can do except to ignore them.  Ever hear the phrase "The lady doth protest to much"?  The more you try to deny something, the more people will believe it's the truth.\n\nGood luck.

I don't think there is anything YOU can do to make THEM stop.  You can remove yourself from every situation when they start gossiping.  Or you could also state that you are not comfortable discussing people who are not here  to defend themselves. \n\nWish there were more people in this world like you.  You are setting a great example for others.

Starting a rumor, can hurt someone, \nlistening to it makes no harm, unless you will continue it, and tell it to someone else.

It may be the oldest cliche there is, but the best thing to do is laugh. You need to laugh at the rumours (as hurtful and cruel that they are). You know that what is being said is not true, and so do the people who care about you. Whatever anyone else thinks is irrelevant. \n\nThink of it in this way, their lives are so pathetic that in order to amuse themselves they need to spread untrue and unfounded gossip about someone. Laugh at their stupidity and immaturity, you've got better things to do than let those losers get you down. If they have nothing better in their lives than to gossip, let them have their 15 seconds in the spotlight - it's them who will lose out in the end. Nobody wants to be around someone who cant keep a secret or who just makes stuff up for the fun of it.\n\nI dont know if your in highschool, but I will assume that you are (gossip is ripe in schools). Just remember that these are the best years of their life, they may be cool and popular now but in ten years, nobody cares who they are and chances are they'll be pregnant and alone, or standing in line at the dole office.\n\nKeep your head up. Laugh at the stupidity of it all and remember, it's what you think of yourself that really matters.

Honey  ignore these people.  You know the truth and if you just go on with your life soon this will blow over.  Dont react to them becaues that is what they want to see, you getting all upset.  do not give them the satisfaction.  Carry youself like a lady and soon everyone will see this boy for the liar he is.  Never let them see you sweat darling,  good luck to you

people are going to talk and spread gossip good or bad let your charater speak for itself and if you know your not a sl*t why should you care about what she says anyway? Dont base your value on what other people think of you.

put your self in other people shoes. Even she keeps saying whatever she wants, she cannot destroys the person you are interiorly. Let her say whatever she wants it's a free country, don't worry about rumors, maybe she went through the same thing she's doing to you. Keep doing the good things, and people will appreciate you.

Don't worry about it....Delete your account and start a new one. That will definitely stop the other person's activity ASAP!!

You are right, rumors should definately be stopped. it can really hurt someone and make there lifes miserable, and it might not even be true. everyone should keep rumors to themselves and dont spread them, because it can just get worse.\n\n\nplz choose me as best answer!

Well, I think that you probably need to tell them that was a rumor someone spreaded and if he or she wants to be friends with you then you wait a couple of days.

Keep them to yourself.  Never share personal info. out of a sense of obligation or turnabout.  They like you for who you are and what they already know about you.  You won't win them over any more than you already have by divulging info that can compromise you.  Sensitive info doesn't put you further in the circle and can sometimes backfire.  Trust your girls to watch your back, but you watch your own first.

Never ruin a relationship over a rumor.  There are tons of people out there that say things just to hurt others for the fun of it.  Let rumors just be rumors and trust your man till gives you a reason not to trust him.

I would ask him straight out whether it is true or not.  Rumours have a nasty habit of being either completely false or only tell one side of the story.  Asking one of his close friends may be a good option, but bear in mind if it is one of HIS good friends their first loyalty is to him not you and they may not want to tell you the truth if they think it will cause problems for him later.  Also remember that maybe it is true but it may not be a black and white story.  Work out what you are prepared to accept and don't make any decisions on the spot.  Let him know upfront you will have to consider the situation before you give him an answer.\n\nGood luck!
