I’m so tired. About 2 years ago in my drama club, there was a girl. Let’s call her Charlie(15f at the time) she was into me(17m at the time) and after I got cheated on by my partner at the time, I needed somewhere to go. She gave me a little bit of closure and a space to feel safe. She ended up sending me a lot of sexual content that I had not asked for. When i eventually turned her away because i was uncomfortable; she ended up trying to get with another of my friends. He turned her away eventually too, then it happened again, and again. But the last time, she ended up telling the guy that me, and my other two friends were pedophiles and rapists. And that we had sent her pictures of our junk and forced ourselves on her. She ended up assaulting the guy later in their “relationship”

Fast forward 2 years. I’m out of school and away from the drama program. Out of nowhere, all of my drama friends stop reaching out, stop responding to my dm’s and all around ignore me. I find out that this girl had told the entire drama program that my entire friend group had assaulted her. I’ve lost all of my friends from high school because a girl couldn’t handle rejection. I can’t do anything about these rumors either, if I say anything to anyone, it’ll just bring attention to it and make me seem guilty since I’m a guy. It doesn’t help that a second person that I had declined a relationship with, ended up telling a few of my friends at a party that I had locked her in my car in senior year and forced myself on her. The only time we were in the car together was on the way to a movie along with 3 other people. She was the last one to be picked up, and the first one to be dropped off. We never even had a moment where we were alone in the same room. Let alone the same car.

I’m so tired of these stupid rumors and accusations. No one wants to go to the person being accused and get a scope of the whole story. I get it. Believe the victim, but always question the accused. Find out the whole story. The reason why this has suddenly popped back up in my life is because of the fact that the first girl. Charlie. She apparently works as a lifeguard in the same establishment that I’ve been working at for the last few months. I’ve gone to my managers, they know the situation and they’re going to keep me away from her. But that’s not the point, I don’t know what to do. I can’t exactly go around toting these screenshots of evidence against her around everywhere. It’ll just make me seem more guilty. Anyone have any advice on how I can fix this? Or at least get it off my mind?
