When I was 9 my mom threw me and brother out on the streets. He was 16 at the time and he took care of me. I'm 15 now and he's 23. Well I usually don't tlak about my past because I really don't think that it's that bad. At least I had my brother and that's more than some people have. Well the school found out about what was going on so I had to go to the school counsellor and talk to him and he told me that it would be a good idea to find someone that I can really trust at school to talk to if I have a problem. I really don't have a best friend I have friends but I never really got close enough to anyone where I was comfortable talking to them about important stuff. Well anyway I finally got up the courage to talk a girl that I've been friends with for a long time. At first she was really nice about it she said she would be there for me and that she understood and that it's ok to talk about things. Then I heard her say that I'm a lier and that I make things up for attention. I finally talked to someone and they did this to me. She told everyone that I pretend to do drugs and that I act all tough but I really don't. I've never said that I've done drugs or even tried them. I don't believe that they are the answer to anything.
My question is what can I do about this? Should I say something to her or pretend like nothing happened? And should I trust someone else or should I just keep things to myself like I did before? Thank you in advance and I will rate high.

Although that is not the case, teenagers love drama and gossip, and will just make shit up. The best thing you can do is ignore it. If someone brings it up, laugh about it. It's really hard to make things up about someone who doesn't give a damn. They're doing it to get a rise out of you; if they can't, they'll stop.
