That's the way life is really. You cannot do much to stop it, the best bet is to ignore it. Its easy to do as long as you remember what the truth is you tend to forget the rumors. When you start listening and caring about the lies and the people telling them it just ads fuel to the fire, sometimes you will even let them turn you into something your not. Have confidence and keep your head up and level, ignore the other crap and rise above it all by standing on the truth.

People are going to talk. If they don't have evidence, then they create a story. What is said is basically done. They sell rumour as if it is fact and it usually has but a grain of truth. For example, if someone saw you with your friend in a restaurant, they might say that you were out together. It's true, but then they add tone of voice and innuendo and make it seem like it is more than innocent. So, if you start a rumour that you and David are no longer going out, and add the same innuendo and 'marketing strategy', then other people will eventually start other rumours about David being single again and blah blah blah ad nauseum So, you have several options; 1) Ignore it, eventually they will spread rumours about other people and leave you alone 2) Fight fire with fire, which is basically stooping to their level 3) See option #1

There's no real way to stop a rumor. People love gossip and even if you told people the truth they wouldn't care.
Try not caring so much about what other people think. It's about who you are & what you do that people will really know what you stand for. Rumors are for loosers anyway who have to live vicariously through other people. Don't be a follower...be a leader and show them what you're really made of.

dont even think about it. ignore them. you were born and raised without their presence so, just live them alone. you know to yourself the real you , the truth and untrue. you are now like a celebrity rumors are everywhere - whew! what a lucky girl. think of this take everything in a positive way! at least people around who are spreading the rumors making you much more stronger person - be optimistic.

one way to stop a rumor is ignoring it. If people think something your're not, tell them the truth. If you don't want to, one day, you are going to burst it out loud from keeping it bottled up. I suggest the sooner, the better.

Rumors usually die down after a while. You can try to dispell them by telling as much people as you can about the truth but this might not work.

Just wait the rumor will eventually die and your real friends aren't going to buy in to it so don't stress.

By confronting each person who believes the rumor.
Rumors never have real proof, so if you show real proof, the rumor will be crushed.

People (guys especially) think about hot women like you all the time. Don't worry, must are too scared to do anything about it. Just take it as a compliment.
You know what they say...the only thing worse than being talked about is....not being talked about.
