How to stop a rumor.?

Question

Ok, so this boy at my table makes fun of this one girl all the time and hes really hott. I tried to impress him by making fun of her too. I said, "BLOW ME!!!!!" Nobody laughed. Everyone thinks im a L*****n now and that i like her. Its getting around pretty fast. What should i do?

Answer 1

Don't acknowledge the rumor. Don't offer a answer or take the time to respond to it.

Answer 2

just let it go, sooner or later something else will keep those losers occupied. Ignore everything, dont talk to anyone, dont do anything.

Answer 3

It will eventually die down, however I hope that you learned a valuable lesson on how it feels to be on that end of the stick.

It was no fun for her either.

Answer 4

Its karma.  It is just what you get for making fun of someone to impress someone else.  Sometimes life is fair.

Answer 5

Act like it doesn't bother you. Enjoy the humor in it and it will pass. People won't likely remember it two weeks from now unless you make a big deal over it.

Answer 6

The best way to stop a rumor is to not give it any power over you.  Don't respond to it.  Don't try to argue with anyone.  If you argue that you're not a L*****n, then you give room for an argument and it only drives the rumor deeper.

Also, I suggest going to the girl you were picking on and telling her you're sorry.  It's been years since I was in school, but when I was, I was the one everyone picked on.  If just one person had come up to me and said, "I'm sorry--I just didn't think about how you were feeling," perhaps I could have gotten through high school without trying to slit my wrists.

I know how hot some boys can be.  (Back when I was a teen, the word used to describe a hot guy was "cute.")  I crushed on my fair share of guys back then.  But is a guy who behaves so cruelly really worth impressing?  He's attractive on the outside, but if he treats others like that, it's a good indicator he won't treat you well.

I hope the rumor dies down soon because being bullied is not a good way to go through high school.  But I also hope you've learned not to pick on people or do things just to impress a guy, especially because it can backfire severely.

Answer 7

Don't worry about it. At that time in your life things will come and things will go just as fast as they came in. Something will happen next week that will take their minds off of what you said and be talking about something new. I wouldn't think about it too much.

If someone asks you about it just brush it off like it means nothing. Be cool.

Answer 8

never try to be something to someone your not. if he cant dig you in other words like you for you then he is not the one for you. i know that may sound harsh but people who judge dont matter and those who matter dont judge. treat people like you want to be treated. imagine how that girl you teased must feel every time she is hurt and how it effects her. to stop just ignore a new one will come along soon enough.
