Rumors at school. My best friends think I flirt with my best
Question Posted Friday November 10 2006, 9:43 pm
I am 13 years old. I am in grade 8 and life is getting somplicated. Almost all my friends are guys and now the most popular girl in school say I flirt a lot with all the guys. She spread a nickname for me called "Boy Toy" and now I cant talk to a guy without anyone making a big deal about it. One of my most trustworthy friends is a guy and ill admit I kind of like him now but its just too weird. But now shes got even my best friend believing I flirt with him all the time and hes starting to avoid me some more. What I mean is usually when we see eachother he gives me a giant smile and stuff and stops and talks to me. Now he like looks away. I dont know what to do. Its not like im a huge flirt (I think) Ive never even truely gone out with a guy. What should I do?

You can either ignore that taunts and talk to your friends about what's really going on. But also, defend yourself. When someone is calling you that, tell them to stop it. Inform them that the only reason someone started that rumor is that they can't handle a normal conversation with someone of the opposite sex.
