 What can you do. People will be people and teens will be teens. I'll give you the same advise I give to my daughters, one of which is queen of the drama queens. Develop your sense of self. Who you are, your integrity (honesty), your boundaries of what you'll allow people to do and what you don't. You may not be able to escape the drama around you, but you can choose not to be part of the drama. By developing your sense of self, people will get to really know who you are. If a rumor is spread about you, and you've built yourself, people will also know what you will do and what you won't. If this happens you won't have to defend yourself. It would disappear because it's beyond what you would do, and everyone else would know that too.Also when people try telling you stories or inflating them, tell them you really don't want to hear it. Let them know you have enough going on trying to get through school, without hearing other peoples problems.

Don't get caught up in cliques or groups who are hateful to others. I am sure you will find many friends who feel the same way you do. Take your work seriously and support all the good organizations. Get involved in some of them.
