you cant. Going by rumors of when I was your age... I was a warlock, a murderer, did drugs, participated in orgies, was pornography addicted, etc.
In truth I was troubled and introspective, but none of those things. You are giving heed to gossip, a sin. Ignore it, and be her friend.

i see.
so you think her friends are bull****in me?
hmm.. tats weird.. tho, coz on msn, she said she was a bi-sexual, but i dont think it was her tho.
Answer:
I say there is no way to tell. Gossip is a sin to engage in and the info is more often than not false.

Not good. Making someone 'straight' should never be the goal when approaching homosexuality. Your goal should be to help her become holy in the eyes of God. I read it once that heterosexuality is not the opposite of homosexuality; holiness is the opposite of homosexuality.

Live with it. It's her choice, even though it is wrong. You shouldn't try to "straighten her out," because that's far beyond your capabilities. If it grosses you out to the point that you simply can't be friends with her anymore, then fine, go your separate ways. If, however, you can stomach the fact that one of your friends is a sinner, then you should simply treat her the same way you treat any of your other friends. All this gobbledy-gook about trying to help her become holy and trying to show her the love of Christ should not be an excuse for you to act differently towards her. You should try to help all of your friends become holy, because none of them are. You should also try to show all of your friends the love of Christ, because all of them need it.
That's my twopence.
In His love,
Nate

But currently it sounds like just a rumor. Heck, Ive heard rumors I was gay in High School because i didnt have a girlfriend.
I am just saying t show her the love of Christ by giving her the benefit of the doubt, and treating her like a human as Christ would. Christ was not too grossed out to hang around with the worst sinners of his day. As such, it should not make a difference as to how you treat her.

I know all that, Bill. The only reason I said he should part with her if he's grossed out by this rumor/discovery/fact/whatever/etc is that the last thing this girl needs in her life (regardless of whether she is bi or not) is a "friend" who is believing rumors about her and trying to "fix" her. It was for her benefit that I suggested it, and not out of principle (obviously I don't think you should part ways with your friends just 'cause you're grossed out by their sin [or rumored sin]... but I do think you should part ways if you can't handle that being grossed out in an appropriate manner). Yoda_me has repeatedly shown himself on these boards (no offense to him) to be rather immature, and that immaturity will probably lead to an inappropriate handling of this situation, regardless of the veracity of the rumor.
Hope that made sense.
I should probably just stop giving advice. Heh.

gotcha, and you are right. I don't know, I am just not fond of seeing people drop their friends because somebody started a rumor. Ive been hit by that way too many times. Hope I in no way offended you.
