His friends started saying things to me. Really awful, sexual things that apparently I had done with him (I hadn't).

I went through something not a lot like what you went through, but something that was hard. Right before 6th grade, I started dating a guy that I really liked. I then had to buzz cut my hair, and I heard from friends that he was making fun of me. I figured they were lying ("they're just jealous"), but I wasn't sure. Then, his friends started saying things to me. Really awful, sexual things that apparently I had done with him (I hadn't). I later discovered that not only had he lied to his friends about me doing that stuff, he actually had been making fun of me. My "friends" got mad and decided not to be my friends anymore because they believed the rumor. I moved schools later that year. I've mostly moved on, but I wanted to let you know that I think you're a major inspiration. - Josephine
