I am 15 and me and my friend thought it would be funny, to say we were seeing each other to are year, we decided to do it even though I was having second thoughts, but my friend said its just a joke, but I thought of it at a test to see if people are homophobic at are school cause I thought most people are. My other friend told some people with out me realise, so she started the rumour and she told to girls and they come and said to me is it true and was just in shock so I didn't say anything. the rumour was (it has changed since, I’m not sure what is though) that me and my friend, a girl had kissed each other in the high street my shopping with another friend. the rumours spread like wild, by lunch time which was about after an hour after it was started everyone knew "the story" apart from my friends who knew the truth.
Then somebody who is a friend of a friend told someone it wasn't true. it was just before I was going to say that it had all been made up and people had added there own bits to the story. My friend who the rumour was about was shouted at when she had said nothing. I was just shouted it at just a second ago when I have said nothing either. i was also called a dyke, which I am not. What shall I do?

unfortunetly, when you are young as you are, and you start something like that, people are going to act immaturely about it and of course, believe everything you say.
you have started something that will probably stick with you for a long time. Its not good to lie, especially about something like that,
im not really sure what you can do to cure it at this point, but you need to be mature about it, and everytime someone asks "is it true?" just be very serious, and grown up about it, and say. "no. it is not true, never has been true so tell your friends the truth.I dont like being called a dyke. get over it and find something else to talk about."
then walk away. if you give people a big reaction like screaming or yelling, they will like seeing you freak out and will keep talking about you, and never stop.
you have to act like you are ove it, like you dont care anymore, you have to act grown up. mature. once people start to see that you arent worried about that stupid rumor and that they arent gonna get a reaction out of you, they will eventually get over it and forget about it after a while.
hope this helps! =] email me if you need anything.

First of all, you and your friend should have never started this in the first place. In school, rumor's are constantly changed to something worse because people are immature.
What those people are calling you is beyond rude. You're going to need to find a way out of this. Maybe try to get the message through everybody that it was just a joke.
But honestly..I really doubt people will believe it.
Rumor's don't last forever though. There really isn't an answer to this because no matter how many times you tell someone it was a joke, they will continue to believe the rumor that spread.
Good luck
