You can indirectly answer them, or not worry about it. Consider this, your friends and people who want to be your friends won't worry what others say about you. Those who do, and don't come to you with questions, aren't people you need in your life anyway. People who talk about others often do it because it makes them feel better about themselves. You should feel sorry for them, to have such low self esteem that they need to discuss someone else to make themselves look good.

Put them on the spot and ask them to be more specific, give an expmle, that way you force their hand they either have to admit they are talking about you or they have to withdraw. if they respond by being specific, you can then respond to them and defend yourself without having to assume and coming accorss paranoid, if they back refuse, they look like a fool because they are not prepared to back up their claims.
hope this helps.

Kill them.
Just Kidding.
If it's really not something serious that they're talking about, just ignore them. Don't give them the satisfaction of letting them know it bothers you. If it is something that's REALLY over the line, though, you could always talk to them. If you do, though, remember to be mature and leave emotional actions (like crying and yelling) out of the situation.

Don't show that you are upset by it. Act cool, maybe come back with something indirectly insulting to them. Just let it go.

Go up to them and say "if you have something to say about me, say it to my face." and if it gets worse ask them what you ever did to them!
