Hurtful Gossiping

Gossiping can be horrible. More so than anyone can think. Rumors can travel like the speed of light within one school. By the next day at least your whole grade will know that *Sam shaves his legs. This is completely untrue and is only an example but because no one thought to clarify with Sam half the school now knows, or rather, thinks they know the dirty secrets of someone. Its people that have to know the "latest dirt" on someone that spread the gossip. People like *Carrie who need to talk about other people for some unknown reason. Maybe she feels that if she spreads rumors, even if they aren't true, that it will keep others from finding out her parents are alcoholics. Again, this is completely untrue. Maybe Carrie spreads rumors because she isn't very popular and she thinks that people will want to hang out with her if she knows the latest dirt. Unfortunately, thats not how it works. People will talk to her for maybe a day at the most but once they have the information they want and then it will be back to the original clique. I know its such a cliche but, gossip hurts. Its not even all Carrie's fault, unless she is making up the rumors herself but a person like Carrie is the knife that spreads the peanut butter on the PB & J sandwich of gossip (sorry about the horrible metaphor). Obviously, someone has a reason to be mad at Sam and wanted to hurt him and make him regret doing whatever it is that he did. That person, we'll call her *Emma-lee, made up the rumor and fed the information to Carrie. Emma-Lee would be the peanut butter the part that makes the whole sandwich complete. Let's recap, shall we? Emma-Lee makes up the rumor, she feeds the information to Carrie and, Carrie spreads it to the whole school and the whole school bugs Sam about something that isn't even true. Or maybe it is true but he has to shave his legs because he is a professional biker (this is highly unlikely because Sam is only in high school). Thats is how gossip is spread.

if name has * it is fake
