End of the year problem

I'm not worried about exams. But I am worried about something else. Its the end of the year. People start being two-faced, back stabbers, you start losing your friends, gossip starts, rumors are going around, and fights emerger! It happens every single year! This year Is starting to get bad. Everyone is being one of the above. Including me. Its hard. I want to ignorn it. There are "cliques" at my school. They arn't like stricted cliques. But still. I have already been blamed for rumors like 5 times today. Its the smae people with the same thing. I'm trying to ignorn the gossip and stuff. But I found out that one of my friends said I was a Slut(and others things it won't let me say). [she said that about a lot of people] but the person who told me and my other bff usually lies. But she was telling the truth! I'm trying to advoid these huge problems! But they end up at my feet. People blame each other and I'm getting pissed! I really need someone to give me adivce over all this. I feel like Im overwelmed! Exams, Friends, Rumors, Lies and of course Teachers!!!

Oh my gosh I used to have the same exact problems every year and still mostly do. My friends are drama proned (even though they don't like to admit it) and it drives me insane cause all they do is gossip and create more drama. I was blamed for a couple of rumors this year, and got into a yelling match with one of my best friends right in front of half the school but I've learned a lot this year, and that would be to just get over it. Your friend called you a slut, don't be her friend anymore. Just be yourself and don't take anyone's bull; you hear people talking about you, you confront them and you tell them to back off and mind their own business. Stand up for what you believe, if someone cussed your friend out go up to them and get into their face. Let people know that your not afraid to fight and that you will stand up for what you believe. Friends that tell lies and rumors you don't need them, people that tell lies and rumors just ignore them. And don't let yourself get in the mix of things, it just ends up getting worse. Just stand up for yourself and show everyone your not afraid, and soon they'll leave you alone...that's what happened to me all in a month too.
