How can you stop false rumours from spreading?

My two best friends hated each other. There was a huge fight and I ended up choosing one over the other. The friend I didn't choose started telling everyone that I was a lesbian with my other best friend. Now the entire school is spreading the rumour and no one will talk to us anymore. Help??How can you stop false rumours from spreading?
Walk around with a guy then everyone will know you aren't a lesbian.How can you stop false rumours from spreading?
ignore the bitches. have fun! don't worry about them. they must love you to think about you all the tI'me, enough to start rumors. being lesbian is not anything to be ashamed of... it could have been way worse. but im sorry that happened!
sorry but you cant just stop rumours from spreading just tell people to mind their own bussinesses
um try to stand up to the person thats all you have to do
Say it is not true.
You can't prevent someone from spreading rumors. Its not what your called.... It's what you answer to. Remember that. You just have to learn to get some thicker skin. People gonna talk about you all your life. That is just the way it is. Just remember the way it makes you feel when the time comes and you have the choice of gossiping about someone or biting your tongue. You can only change you, and the way you act to people's false accusation. Why even react to it if you know it is not true. And just a word of advice. When two people have an argument that has nothing to do with you. the best thing you can do is stay mutual, and not pick sides.
confront the girl who is starting the rumors! I guess and start spreading it around that she is just jealous and the rumors are not true. Make people listen to you!
oh sweetie, just give it time. some people have nothing better to do with themselves than make others feel as bad as they do. soon, there will be another story going around about someone else and they'll forget all about this one. besides, the more you try to quell this rumor, the more people will talk. just go on with your life and realize that those talking have absolutely no life.
What can I say, it's school. That is rough, though. Your best bet is to just ignore idiotic people, they will come around.
gossip does spread. and it doesn't fade. So go ask a guy friend to fake they are your boyfriend for a few weeks.
beat the living crap out of her, or ask me too. i will
spread rumors about the other person, or just tell her to back off your life
It's a little late to stop it. However if anyone calls you a lesbian just roll your eyes and say, ';You have to be kidding me, you believe in that crap? Well what can I expect from an idiot, but to believe anything he hears. Did you know that clouds are made of cotton candy. Go tell that to you're friends and maybe I'll tell you some more life secrets.'; It's all about the tone though. You have to do it in a sarcastic, what the f*** are you smoking tone. That usually smarts the name caller.
u shouldnt have chosen between the 2 of them u should have just said u didnt want to be friends wit them anymore and find new friends


and the rumours u cant stop them if they want to believe them then let them but wen truth outs u and ur best friends will be friends wit everybod else whilst that other gurl spreading the rumours wont be friends wit anyone she wont even have a boy by her side dont worry bout it just ignore them
you dont, people will talk about u until the day u die, and there is nothing u can do about , it the only thing u can do, is take it and ignore it. and pretend that it doesnt bother u, than they will see that its not getting to u.
You shouldn't have chosen one over the other. Real friends won't make you choose something like that. And you can't stop rumors... Just ignore them.





People who believe such garbage and won't talk to you because of it aren't worth talking to anyway.
actually you cant do anything about it...... you are just gonna have to deal with it... the only thing that you can do is ignore her and thats it.....
well i would have to say that thats almost an impossible thing to do; espically in american culture!!





well if people start asking you about it just shrug it off. eventually people will get bored. people dont talk unless there is anything to talk about.





hope this helps!!
Im not sure tell everybody that its not true that its really the other way around that ur freind is lesbo. And if noone beleves u then their must b a secret that she told u that she did not want anyone to know tell that around the school then tell her that if u want the rumors to stop that she has to stop.
Bring some ';RED Rosed'; to school and give it to the friend who started that false rumor. Give it to her in front of everyone. And do not say much, just smile. People would think it is a 3 way lesbian affair. Basicly, you screwing her too. lol
Screw em' all!





You should kiss your friend right in front of everyone and say ';Now What?'; Jk... I don't think you're bold enough for that =0)





People like her are stupid and looking for attention. So ignore the chick. Tell her to find a carpet to lick!
I would cofront the ex-friend in front of a group of other people (so that others will hear) and tell her -- ';we are not lesbians - so I want you to stop spreading that rumor.';
You can't stop ridiculous rumors, you can only ignore them. You know it's not true, and you don't have to prove it to anybody. BUT, if you try, don't over-compensate, and don't stoop-down to the rumor-spreading level. Just wait for things to cool-down, and then maybe you should try talking to your other best friend.
by creating a new rumour


ppl always like the new and forget the old
Find a boyfriend go out with him and everyone you meet tell them you are not lesbian.





I would hate it if some ***** made a false rumer about me being gay.
just tell people ya thats it thats true and they would think that it wasnt true because who would admit that?!?!
Stop worrying about it they will get over it soon enough and find something else to talk about. Why could you not keep both friends you should not have had to choose you could have been friends with both and did separate things with each. In the end they are just words and they can only effect you as much as you let them.
well you should just tell your friend that your sorry that your not friends and ask that friend to stop or you could just be friends with both behind there backs
