I had a best friend who was a boy and I could tell him anything. We would hang out all day and in school pass notes and stuff, but then my other friend made a rumor about me that i liked him. He heard and it was a little awkward for a while and eventually got back to normal. That week another rumor was set about me and he wouldn't let it go. I asked him why he was upset with me and he said "The rumor" and walked away. He ignores me online and when I call him he doesn't pick up. He doesn't seem to care about me anymore. I try talking to him all the time but he is too caught up with being in the popular group to notice me and I was wondering how I could get him to talk to me. Some of my other friends think I did something to him and now they all ignore me too. I only have one real true friend now and I want them back.

First,face him and don't let him go away until he explains himself.Personally,I'd demand an explanation if I've done nothing wrong and someone ignored me like that.Then just explain it's not true and ask him to be understanding.I really don't know what else I can tell you to do and that would help...
By the way,it sounds to me that someone's jealous that you two were such good friends and then decided to break you apart.If you get him back as a friend,pay attention to who gossips about you and make sure they don't,or I'll come there and get them!lol.Just kidding!Anyway,I hope I helped you.Good luck and do your best!

Friends get into fights A LOT and this one sounds quite unfortunate. Do you know what the rumor is exactly? I mean if you don't it could be ANYTHING really, it could be that you are seeing someone else and he is jelous which is probably more like it by the way he is reacting. Unfortunately, he is not being a very good friend by even approaching you about it, but you are young and it takes a few years for people to realize RUMORS ARE LIES. Right now, my best advice is just to leave him alone and not try to befriend him because if he really wanted to talk to you he would have done so by now. (it's true just think about it) By taking the mature root you will show that you are mature and you will feel better about yourself for having control over your life. If notices this and talks to you GREAT if he doesn't MOVE ON even if it means not having anyone for awhile...this is not going to be the first time you encounter problems like this in your life...but next time you will be more prepared! remember self-esteem is the most important thing you can have and always be nice...the best payback is within your own success and happiness and not by lashing out...
