How do you effectively confront people who are spreading negative rumors about you?

You could have a talk with a school counselor or have a talk with your parents. They will want the best for you and help you confront these people.

ask people around first of all and get facts about the rumour. Talk to those who have only heard the gossip. Try talk to your friends about it. Try to keep this conversation as low key as possible so that the friend doesn't tell the gossiper you are asking around. Remember, your goal is not to pick a fight or cause more drama with this person. You simply want to clear your name and make sure no one spreads more gossip about you. Tell the person that you need to talk in private, but try not to sound overly upset or dramatic. Picking a fight or yelling won't solve anything so try stay calm and collected. Try to stick to the facts and avoid emotional words or accusations. Just be direct with them. Wait patienly for an answer as some people are afraid of confrontation and will not know how to respond if you confront them. In fact some people have such intense social anxiety that a confrontation can cause a full blown panic attack. The persom may put themselves in denial. If the person denies having gossiped about you, let it go, but be sure you emphasize why this matters so much to you. Try to be the bigger person. You can't make people like you, or even be kind to you

i ask them why they needed to make these rumors in the first place and try to solve any issues laying in-between. Everyone has a reason for the words they say so the best solution is to understand why first then provide solution. After learning why they spread these rumors, me as the reciever i try to think if my actions or attitude towards this person made them feel threatened or less confident in any way. After honestly answering this question you will figure out what exactly needs to be done further on. Always remember that those who speak to you behind your back have something to say but cannot say it to your face,

When confronting people who aim to disseminate falsified and negative information about me, I would simply make clarifications of the truth in response to their fake narratives. This is a direct and effective approach to debunk gossips and rumors by stating one’s real opinion out loud. Furthermore, it is equally important to not let emotions get the better of me. I cannot be overcome by their obvious provocation, submitting to their negativity. I have to repudiate being subdued my negative emotions and focus on the truths and the positive things. In doing so, I can become unaffected by their negativity and lies whilst I try my best to spread positive narrative and the real truths.

If you know who it is then it would be best to confront them directly without much stepping around the issues. Tell them that what they doing is hurting you and that it needs to stop or else you will be forced to take different actions to ensure they stop it. Try to make clear how they actions effect you, maybe ask them why they acting that way. If they try to deflect or tell you that it isn’t them who started the rumor, bring evidence. You can try to talke to them I’m private first but if that doesn’t worke than making it public or semi public would at least ensure that people know the rumours aren’t true. I wish you the best of luck! Things like that can be really hurtful

As for me, I choose to not confront them. Somehow it made them feel better or was some sort of needful thing for them? If I know I have done nothing wrong then I have to understand that it's a "them problem" and not a "me problem". If they felt the need, that badly to behave that badly, I can only imagine they are doing these things to others as well. I think it's really unfortunate, but when I find out this is something that has happened to me, I can only see it as a gift and that I found out sooner as opposed to later, and it would be the time for me to no longer invest more in the friendship. People have their own problems and issues, things I am unaware of. I keep moving forward and try to still do my personal best.

It is always best to make sure you do not confront them in front of others. This can lead to embarrassment and may make that person go into defense mode and not want to talk about it rationally. It is best to pull the person to the side and ask if they are saying negative things about you. Give them the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to come clean first. Then ask them why they are saying those things about you. Remain calm and do not try to use judging type words. Instead, listen to what they are saying and understand why they are saying those things.

You don't. Let your actions speak for yourself. You will see those who are genuine person who cares for you
