Jaanu, don't be sad!
I hope I can help you out with this problem, because I myself am in Middle School, or Junior High, as some like to call it.
And I totally understand where you are coming from, because I've been in both positions.
I've been the one bullied, and the one who has bullied. And I truly repent for everything that I did do back then to hurt others. It's just that the sudden popularity gets to your head, especially when all the guys and girls follow you.
And I know how it feels to be treated like that by others. And so my advice to you is to talk to them. Speaking face to face can do wonders, and I mean that- seriously!
I did the same thing, and 'till this date, it's never backfired. Talk to them, and tell them to stop medelling in your life. It's YOUR business NOT theirs.
But I strongly encourage you to speak to teachers if the bullying gets out of hand. Remember- Bullying is against the law. If someone is making up rumours about you, there are a lot of things you can do without stooping to their level.
