I have a friend (we'll call her) Tammy. So Tammy texts me the other day saying there are rumors going on about her being pregnant (but she's not). She said that people have come uo to her saying that i told them she was pregnant. And i haven't so i don't know why they would tell her that. I don't even talk to the people that have asked her. So main point is she is believing them over me, someone who has always been there for her. its really bothering me because we were good friends and she's letting rumors (that i didn't even start and aren't true) ruin it. she won't respond to a myspace message i sent her. and i can't convince her i never said it. what else can i do??

The people who are telling this to her is either trying to pick a fight, or they don't like you and is trying to pick a fight between you and your friend. And if she is a good friend, she wouldn't let this come in-between you and her.
You're the only one who knows its true, and you've already let her know that it isn't true, so the best thing to do is to leave it up to her. And if she doesn't come around, thats her issue. Its her lost, friendships/relationships are all about trust. And if you can't have that, there is no real friendship/relationship between either of you. Give her some space, and give her some time to think it over. I'm sure she'll come to reality that she does need a friend like you. When she's down & out, who else is she going to go to? She'll look and suddenly realize that you're the friend she needs. Friendships are about trust and reliability. If she's a real friend she'll let you come to her for help. The other people, I'm sure she HARDLY eve knows, she shouldn't trust thier words over yours. Ask her, "Who would you trust more?, Some people you hardly even know or someone who has been there for you no matter what? Ask her something like that, she how she will react. If she doesn't come to her senses soon, then you should drop her as a friend, she obviously can't be trusted herself. It's her loss, she's lost a friend in you. Hope I helped.
