Gossip

People think of gossip as negative most of the time, but there are different kinds of gossip. There’s the negative- and the positive gossip.

The negative gossip is for example when people knows a secret and tell it to someone who shouldn’t have heard it. The negative gossip can also be called bullying. But gossip can also be a good thing.

The positive gossip is often good to get a good impression of people you don’t know yet but want to. That could for example be if one of your friends came to you and said the new kid in your class were very funny or smart.

Gossip isn’t always true. People often create rumours about someone they despite. People are stupid enough to believe it and they’ll tell it to some of their friends and so on. False rumours can be one of the meanest methods of bullying in my opinion. They can spread out to a whole school in a day or less. The problem with gossip and false rumours is that no one will stop them. Why don’t they just stop the rumour by telling no one about it?

I’ve experienced people gossip, even about their own friends. I really get a bad feeling in my stomach every time I see or hear someone gossip about each other and when they’re together they just pretend like they’ve never said it. I think the writer of “Remember me?” forgot to mention the most important part of gossip. It can ruin and destroy friendships. Many of my friends have had a big fight with one of their friends or even lost them because of gossip.
