Hard situations.
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.

Your best answer is to tell the truth. If this really is a case of slander then the judge will decided. If you haven't seen anything then write that in your statement. Don't make up anything or speculate what you've might have seen because if it goes to jury, then you may be asked to testify and they'll be after the "facts" and not just hearsay. See how rumors can be bad? Sorry about your trouble but may be this can be resolved without going to court. I sure hope so!
Oh you said "sewing" not suing. I just assumed this was a typo. Dang...

hmmm.. this is a toughie..! maybe you should just tell yor friend who started the rumor that its not true and that yaall are going out now. then if anyone asks you about it or makes a comment about the situation just say "hey! thats not true! you dont know them so dont say anything about them until you do.." or something like that.
on the lawsuit thing.. just say how ufairly they have been treated. dont be subtle but dont be overdramatic and exaggerate. say how you think it was. just remember that what you write will probably be read in court.
i hope this helps!! good luck!:D
