In second grade, I told a bunch of kids there was a homeless person living between the portable classrooms outside our school. It caused panic, and the principal had to announce on the P.A. system that no one was living there. I pretended I didn't know who started the rumor.

I am always the source of the worst rumors about myself.

People make up rumors and put them on the Internet.

I think a lot of young kids at school are very conscious of trying to keep credibility in case they kind of stand out in a crowd and get bullied by trying to stay cool and stuff. And my whole thing, all the way through school, was I was just a goof... I didn't care.

I've heard rumors about myself that are true - and nobody likes that. But there's actually something very liberating when you hear a false rumor because you realize there's nothing you can do. People are going to say whatever they want - especially on chat boards.

Never make negative comments or spread rumors about anyone. It depreciates their reputation and yours.

There are new rumors about me every day.

There were a lot of rumors spread about me. Of course, I didn't show up to defend myself, so my absence helped create even more.

Dear Internet: You are very good at spreading rumors. Truth is more valuable and much harder to come by.
