Okay there's two situations here.
1: What do you do when you find out one friend spread a rumor about two of your other friends (ONE BEING YOUR BOYFRIEND THE OTHER HIS SISTER) that they don't take baths when they do, to the bus driver who's now being all weird and mean to them without proof and the two, TJ and Samantha, well their dad, is sewing or something and the lawyer wnats a statement from me on what's been going on while I was on the bus......lik what should I write? I haven't seen anything, just the bus driver getting on to them about things they haven't done....well that and she moved me from them because of this matter. Which was unfair.
2: TJ and I have been going out for like 2 days and only 3 of my friends know about it.....one of them told the other two......and well I know I'll get teased when everyone finds out and I dunno what to do!
1) The friend who spread the rumor: Unless you know for a fact that this person spread the rumor (that is, you actually heard them say it), then it's probably best not to confront them about it. It's a stupid rumor and anyone who actually believes it can't be too bright.
2) The bus driver: is obviously an idiot for (1) believing a kid's rumor, and (2) treating a kid badly like that. She probably deserves to be sued, and whether your bf's dad wins the lawsuit or not, maybe it will knock some sense into the busdriver.
3) The statement: be honest about all of it. Actually, what you could do is say "Someone started a rumor..." but not actually name who it was. That will keep your friend (the rumor starter) from getting mad at you.
4) Don't worry about the teasing. For one thing, if you show that it bothers you, they will just keep on teasing you; but if you act like you don't care what people say, then they won't have any reason to tease you. Also... even if people are teasing you, deep down they will actually respect you for going out with who YOU want, and not worrying about what other people say/think.
(Rating: 5) thnx hun, and the rumor started did tell me lol!
