Now that school is back in session from Christmas/Winter Break, classes have changed for the new semester for some of you, and for others, some may have returned to school sporting something new from the Christmas gift pile. Since things can change a LOT over break times, gossip definitely follows. So, that girl in fourth period is whispering behind your back and you know for a fact because your BFF gave you the low-down; what should you do? I mean, you could go ahead and spin her face, but what good is gonna come from that besides three days of lock down in In-School Suspension/Restriction or havin' your moms rip you a new one? There is a better way to deal with gossip than fighting or biting back with another rumor. Check out three ways to thwart gossip girls.

1. Do Some Investigating. Try to get to the bottom of the rumor if you can. Ask your girls to do a little undercover, private eye work for you. The stories could stem from something that actually happened but got twisted in the process. Or, it could be that something fabulous happened to you over the break and people are hating.

2. Stay Calm. Getting overly hype about a fake story only causes more kids to talk about your reaction and spread even more rumors about what you said or did in response to the rumor. Try your best to keep your cool, which is easy for a classy chick like you, and keep it moving. 

3. Enjoy it. We know it sounds crazy, but being the It Girl at school is status, for real. Because of the gossip, everyone wants to know what you're doing, who you're with, and, dang, what you're eating in the caf for lunch. Ride the wave and enjoy the fact that people are blowin' you up with friend requests on MySpace.

Those are a few ways to deal with pesky gossip from girls in class that are hating. Listen, everyone can't always keep their game on point, so they have to talk about you and your fine self to make themselves feel better. Take in stride and you'll be back to your normal routine in no time. 

Keeping the New Year's Eve Party Going

Just because New Year's Eve has come and gone doesn't mean you and your friends can't continue to get your glam squad on. January is prime time to be amped to reinvent yourself, especially for the new school semester coming up in a couple of weeks. Mixing unexpected touches of bling--especially for class--can give you a boost of confidence and a diva attitude.

 Try a sequined tank, like the one pictured by G-Unit ($34.99, Dr.Jays.com), under a black denim jacket with skinny jeans (Lindsay Skinny Jean in Indigo, $12.50, Forever21.com) for going to the movies with your girls, or your boy. 

 Use some sparkle paired with a bright burst of color for school, you'll be the envy of your friends, and better yet: your foes! (Wide waist pencil skirt, $16.50, WetSeal.com)

  Take this plain-Jane mock-neck sleeveless shirt from Red by Marc Ecko ($22.99, Dr. Jays.com) to the next level by slipping on a long necklace with a large crystal charm (Crystal Heart Necklace, $4.80, Forever 21.com) to make that generic shirt so stunna!

And last, for those of you girls who go to religious services, try a shimmery sweater or dress with ballet flats that give your footwork something to be happy about. 

Take advantage of these ideas and you'll be flossin' your own unique style before long. Why not feel the holiday spirit a little while, longer, especially when you look good, girl!
