love-struckxo agony auntI've so been there and have dealt with this! I have basically had rumours spread about me, my whole teenage life.

For example -

There was a time when me and another girl had an altercation, and their were rumours spread that she had broken my nose and my eye was falling out of it's socket..

When all we did was argue, and nothing physical happened at all!

I have also had rumours spread about me, that I am a slut, and I have slept with this boy and the next.

People LOVE to exagerate, they hear a story and be like, 'well thats boring' and they add a bunch of things on to it to make the story come to life.. it's really quite pathetic.

The best thing to do is to just laugh it off. You know what the truth is, and what they think doesn't really matter. Don't let them effect the way you live your life. Put a smile on your face, and wear your brave face. I know it's hard, but silence only makes them stronger, and they love to kick people while they are down.

Stand up for yourself. The next time somebody comes up to you and says "IS IT TRUE....." Then say, hell no! and mind your own business or i'll shove my fist down your throat.

Maybe not the last part, but you get the point!! Sometimes people will NEVER grow up, no matter what age they are! The rumours will die down eventually and hopefully people will grow up and get on with their life and quit the immaturity.

Take care

xx

Don't let them get to you they can't control how you feel and what gets to you. So don't cry this is what they are trying to do it makes them mad to see you happy and strong. I know cause I had something similar happen to me most of the school looked down on me cause I didn't stand up for myself. This ya girl, peace.

I never personally had to deal with this. My kids' aunt just graduated and she had the same prob. She moved a year to go live with her mom and when she came back there were rumours she had a baby and thats why she left. All kinds of rumors that she was sleeping with this guy and that guy etc. What she did is surrounded herself with her friends and just stayed active, without letting it bother her. It wasn't true and she knew it so she just went about her business. She is a very beautiful young girl and most of the times rumors like these start from someone else's jealousy! If it's getting to you that bad talk with your parents about changing schools, but if that's not an option just shake it off. The girls starting the rumors are intimidated by you for some reason so they're just trying to bring you down! Be stronger than them and don't even let it bother you! Keep active with ur friends it will keep ur mind off of it.
