Sorry I'm so SO late in responding, I rarely use GL anymore. First off try to get help in stopping, I wouldn't suggest school counselors because they normally aren't that helpful, but try getting your parents help and maybe enlisting in seeing a therapist.. It's your choice whether or not you want to trust your friends with the secret, but choose carefully who you do tell. I know rumors are awful, but ignore them to the best of your abilities. If someone says something to your face just say "I'm sorry you think that" or "Thanks for the opinion, but mine seem to differ", and if they have something snarky to say back just walk away after that with a shrug. Who cares what they think? Rumors only affect you if you let them, and if people are dumb & rude enough to believe everything they hear and come insult you off of it, then they aren't people you would want to hang with anyways. It sort of just checks off who would make a bad friend in your school, makes finding a true friend easier, ya' know? And don't commit suicide, no matter how much it feels like no one cares (and I know I sound like a teacher or health class but it's true) there are always people who do. Some you don't even know about, and your family for sure. So tell the people you do trust and have hope, because no matter how many lows you hit, life is a roller coaster, and you will always come back up eventually, even if you aren't trying to. -Cindy
