What will you do?

let her... i would like to thank her for adding to my publicity.. lol seriously, sometimes, i would confront that person in a nice manner.. i would asked her what really is the problem.. this happened to me a lot in high school.. i just confront them with a smile.. haha.. then they would stop...

i would ignore them, because i didn't do anything wrong and i think with time everything falls to place.

If you know who is spreading the rumors, ask them about it. Communication is key in any relationship. As far as friends go,if I hear a rumor about any of my friends, I ask my friend. If you ignore the person spreading the rumors, are you sending them a message it's ok to do so? Look them in the eyes. Get it out in the open!!

I will just neglect the rumors. People knowing me will not be affected by rumors and I need not bother about those whom i don't know.

A friend told lies about me behind my back. I did not know it until my other friends called to confirm it with me. Well, that was the second time this friend told lies about me. I did not do anything about it. Her first attempt was not a success, and neither her second. My other friends know me well, so they would confirm with me if they heard a strange story about myself.

When I was in high school I found out there were two rumors circulating about me at the same time...one that I was a sl*t and another that I was lesbian...totally opposing rumors! I laughed it off because I knew where they came from and found it humorous that two totally contradictory rumors should be going around at the same time. The one that I was "easy" was started by a guy who had tried something with me and I had not let him...so he was mad at me and to pay me back lied about me. The other one, that I was lesbian, was started by a girl who got mad at me because I wouldn't fight her. It was stupid and funny since she was a closet lesbian, herself. With both of these, I realized that there really was nothing I could do so I just rode them out. My friends knew the truth and we actually joked about it a lot. Now my daughter is having to deal with rumors and gossip among her high school friends. High school is probably the hardest time because the kids are so immature. Some people never grow up and are stuck with that high school mentality so they just have to gossip and spread rumors. I just consider the source and, as has been said before, know who my friends are because friends will never listen to or believe gossip about you. The people who are doing the gossiping are the sad ones because they have never grown up.

I think the people who truly matter will just figure that its hot air. They will come to me and try and talk to me about what is happen. You know, get the word from the source. Then again, people will believe anything. Especially if it gives them something to talk about for a while. Sadly, more often than not, people are gossipers by nature for the most part. I would just sit back and let everything die down after a while. People are going to get bored with it after a couple of days. Perhaps I may get some amusement out of it depending on what it is. However, if I deny it, then certain people might think that I do have something to hide. Not talking about something is the best way for it just to fade into nothingness. When people deny something, then that really gets people thinking, no matter how outlandish it seems.

This has happened to me twice but I never did anything. However, that's when I have learned I have true friends who will always be at my side and will even fight for me. The first incident the girl who spread the rumor about me eventually talked to me, even went in my house to apologize and admit her mistake. My friends were very mad at her. People never believed her and instead of talking about me they even ended up talking how cheap she is. That's also the reason she reached out to me. I'm always nice with everyone while she is a total b!t(h and that's the reason they never believed her. The same thing happened with the second incident. A different girl was involved and what hurts more is that she is someone close to me and someone I trust. However, just because we were rivals in the Presidential position in our Sorority in College she spread nasty rumor about me to gain the trust of our sisters. I guess I'm just always lucky that people believe I am not that kind of person and they see the goodness in me. In the end I still won the position and she reached out to me to apologize. Our sisters were so mad at her because of what happened and even came to the point that they want to take away her privileges and rights. However, after I talked to them since I was the new Head of our Sorority that time they gave her another chance. In both situations I never did anything. However, because of my reputation no matter how hard other people try to put me down they never succeed.

Once a friend told lies about me behind my back. I did not know it until other friends tried to confirm it with me. Well, that was the second time she told lies about myself. The first one was not successful. The second one was not either. My other friends know me well, so I did not do anything about it, I feel secured enough knowing my true friends are with me.

Some people are there who really doesnt hav any work to do apart from gossiping and talking bad about others.There nature is such they cant think good for anyone.I think others must b knowing that persons nature so u need not worry you just ignore.If you give importance that person wil do it more.The people who are close to you knows you so why worry

IF that happens to me, i would trace as to where the rumors came from and talk to the person who started it all, ask his purpose of do so and settle things if possible.

if someone is spreading rumors on me i will not make any step to stop the person from doing because for me, it doesn't matter what they think of me as long as i know deep in me that the rumors are merely rumors and i know that someday that rumors will have its end....

Well most of the time i don't give a **** about what most other people think about me and that goes the other way around too.However the only people i listen to are my friends and they are my friends because i can trust them.I would sit back and examine other people's reactions whenever something about this happens. Happy mylotting

Personally, I've had it happen before to myself and really it would depends on if it had any relation to something i had done but i'd confront whomever i'd believe to be responsible for spreading it and leave it alone after that. Who ever asked got the truth and whoever believed it, well their loss. :)

silence is golden and if our conscience is clear, we don't have to be afraid of people gossiping about us because the truth will prevails... people can see at the end who is right and who is wrong... so i never scared of other people talking bad about me as long as i'm not doing anything wrong... if it gets out of hand, then i will confront the gossiper directly and ask for an explanation... take care and have a nice day...

It hapenned to me recently at university. I had this math class and it does happen sometimes that i leave teh classroom to go at the washroom. There is is this student who hates me because he is sexist and i am not christian so he created bad rumors about me. Like he told the teacher that it wa my fault if he fails because I leave the classroom to much. The fact that I also skip my classes makes him angry because I pass while he doesn't. So he went to the principal of our department and complained about my behaviour. Now, I am 24 years old while he is 30. I was angry at first and I though that I should go talk to the principal to tell that the guy is totally nuts. But at the end, I didn't do anything because that already sounds retarded to find lame excuses in order to stay in the program. I told this to a friend and she thinks that he is totally crazy to create those cheap rumors. I am sure the teacher and the principal think he is retarded. But if it's something that can affect your career or something important, then you should do something about it. If he said that I cheat during exams while i don't, i am surely not going to sit down and relax.

For me I let Jehovah God punished in them I trough my Borden to him and after all I will refresh and not get mad on them.

If people are spreading rumors about you, Ignore it and tell your "true" friends its false. People only spread rumors to piss you off, which then leads to more trouble down the road. Never try and get revenge either after, it causes more trouble to you, your family and your friends.
