You seem like a kind spirit who doesn't like confrontation. Step up the mark and approach her about the crap she's spreading - confront her and tell her to grow up, saying you're not at school anymore "little girl", this is a workplace and business...
other suggestion is that I've given this advice before, infront of work colleauges confront her about the situation saying aloud "so, what's this s*** I hear you've been saying, do you know you make yourself look rediculous, coz at the end of the day, I go home and am happy, and you go home and create more negative bulls**** for your life", something like that anyway!! PUT HER IN HER PLACE and STAND YOUR GROUND, she's younger than you, let her know to respect elders!!!! Little s***!!!! Let me know how it goes!!

I am a woman so I know I will get slapped down for this, but welcome to the world of women in the workplace. I don't know what it is about my sex, that makes us treat co-workers this way. Let me just say, I loved my job with a minor pro-hockey team - i was the only girl in the office, and therefore, the only girl. Bliss......nothing like what my friends had to put up with that worked at Dr.s offices (95% female) or banks. Now I am a hotel manager and we are staffed almost 100% female. I get calls daily by grown women tattling on each other for petty insignificant things & they all work 1 person/shift at the front desk. They see each other for 10-15 min per day. How can they not find a way to get along. Sorry---I ranted and raved
Make a short list of some of the things she has done & said, and go to your supervisor or HR director. Go over the list of things, try not to get flustered or frustrated. Keep your emotion out of it, but let them know your level of frustration. Maybe a meeting with the 3 of you is in order.

Now you know just how it is. You can say and do anything you want and it will not help- at all. She needs a puynch in the mouth but then that would land you in jail.
Go get another job away from her.
The females do have much more power than us males in these kind of situations. if they say secual harasment you are finished. Yes most of the time it is a lie but it works.
They can say things but we can not.
Sure would be nice if you could smack her right in the mouth.
I have had this problem more than one time.

have you tried telling her in front of everyone that she's being a total prick and she ought to get over her enormous ego? when she says these horrible things just laugh and tell her she either has serious issues or fancies you that will piss her off and hey if she hits you she will be doing you a favour cause then she will get the sack just make sure you got witnesses i personally can't stand people like this wish i knew her i'd give her a round of ***** good luck babes if all else fails seek help through your union or citizens advice and all the best :)

Hmmm…I think she is just seeking for your attention. All these things just for you to notice her, girls can get pretty stupid sometimes. Try giving some attention laugh at her jokes or make rumors about you and her watch for her reaction. Just try it… if it wont work hahaha sorry cant help.

Tell everyone that you saw her making out with another chic at a bar, and that she's a Lesbian.

Do not let her see your fear.
Just confront her in some way.
If thet doen't work fight fire with fire, let her taste what she makes you feel with all the **** she is saying.
