Don't care about what others think of you.Don't be depressed of what others think of you.you've been with yourself the longest you know what you truly are.don't listen to other peoples lies.when are tell lies about you/other people,they are actually telling people about himself/herself and how much of a lier he/she really is and not even knowing it.even the bad stuff he/she said about you is the truth,you should not be scared to face anyone that knows about the truth.if you act scared,he/she will be even more happier and will start talking rumors about you again.if you are not scared,he/she will one day stop talking about you and you can have a normal life again.what i'm trying to say here is don't be scared to face the truth,be yourselves and defend for yourselves.
