First realize that it is normal to feel badly after loosing family members. Grieving is totally normal and healthy so try not to let this rumor mess with your normal grieving process. If you need to, find an adult you trust to talk you through this period.
Protesting and trying to prove that it's not true can lead people to believe that you're trying to cover things up. That said, ignoring the rumor can be a good strategy. Another strategy can be to diffuse the rumor with humor.
But really, the important people in your life should already know why you might be feeling down and anyone who believes the rumor probably isn't that good of a friend anyway.

The most effective way to deal with rumors is to ignore them completely. Don't even talk about it. If someone has nerve enough to confront you with them stare them down and calmly reply something along the lines of "Excuse me? I don't deal with gossip." The longer and louder you try to fight against it the more people will believe a rumor. Just wait a few days...something will happen or someone will say something about someone else and it will fade away all on it's own. You should however discuss this at home with your parents so that they are aware of the situation and can deal with anything that might come their way. Good luck.

You're right, it would be pretty bad if people thought you were emo. Next thing you know you'll be listening to Dashboard Confessional and old Sunny Day Real Estate CDs. Horror!
Every single thing you do to fight a rumor only makes it grow bigger. The best thing you can do is ignore it entirely. It won't make it go away immediately, but people will stop paying attention if you don't make it interesting for them.

this is a splash complicated, yet i'm getting it and that's RIDICULOUS! Your buddy is a finished B*TCH!! (sorry, yet she is!) Jeez, she needs to get a existence, I recommend, that's a organic subject that happens to all females and you do not administration whilst it happens! That happened to me as quickly as, (certainly final month) for the period of faculty. Your buddy is a finished jerk and that i think of that she could make an apology. do exactly not consult from her. ignore approximately her thoroughly till she apologizes and whilst she does, you permit her comprehend how that rumor effected you and how would she experience if anybody is giggling at her because of the fact of a stupid rumor that one in each and every of your "friends" made

Go to that kid and talk about him so bad...I mean plan out every thing you want to say...Talk about his clothes, shoes, hair and ect. Words are so powerful that you want believe how bad they would hurt his feelings....Make sure you do it in fornt of everyone.

Say that you're most likely not happy mainly because you feel troubled as you think someone (that kid) is stalking you.

Punish him for it. I would get out of control once I would see him. But that wouldn't be a good solution. If it's still a kid, tell his parents what he did and what you think about it. Then ask to get your image restored, leave it up to himself and his parents to figure that out, you don't have to repair the damage you didn't inflict...

Well just ignore, and don't worry about what people say.
