"I heard she's pregnant"---"I heard she's abused"--"Did you hear what ____ did?!" " He did it, I know it!" " They're really poor, I hear they live in a trailer park". " That dad is evil, I bet he was the one who killed ___". " She was with ____ the other night and _____" WHY?????? Why are we so human we have to use words to feel above others?!
Gossip should die with 2014.
One reason it should die is that it's pointless. Absolutely pointless. Words, whispers, secrets in the wind that flow down the school hallways or throughout the office. Guess who it helps? No one! It is a sick way to feel superior to others, or to look knowledgable. Perhaps we do it for social gain. Who knows, we are only human.
Another reason is how it effects us.
So many kids have committed suicide in result of gossip and petty lies which seemed like simple words from the perpetrator that controlled them. The words eat them alive, they repeat in their heads over and over again with no escape. Gossip is a form of bullying and effects us all.
I admit that gossip can be positive in which case I support it fully. Sometimes it is an easy way to get word around (Or so it seems). It also ,if used correctly, can help uplift others and bring their self esteem up.
What is the point of telling someone a lie, or exaggerating something someone told you? Do we humans ever think of what we're truly saying? Do we think of the impact we could bring upon others? Gossip it pointless if it is negative. It deserves to rot in 2014's grave.

I agree with this people always be talking bad about others how they look or what they were.
i think you are totaly right people need to sop gosiping.You diid a great job with explaining the wa things work with people thies days.I relly loved the way you used the examples in your parragraph.You are doing a great job keep it up.
I agree with the arum her and think people are talking bad and spreading rumors. I want to say that it is pointless talking gossip it just basicly talked about. So people have conversation they are losers so overall I feel like people should mind their own business.
I really love and agree with this! All gossip leads to is drama,fights, and ends of relationships. Even if some gossip is true, or if it's not, it should not matter to you! Even if you know the "facts" it's best to mind yourself. All in all I really agree with all of this and plan on reading more of your essays.
Gossip I seriously pointless. It doesn't help at all. The only thing it does is hurt people and make them feel worse about themselves. It's even worse when they're not even true. Why would you make up a lie about somebody to make them feel bad? It's ridiculous. If you hear something so what? That doesn't mean it's true. Even if it is leave it alone. They have enough problems to deal with. We need to get rid of gossip.
I agree, people are dumb. It makes people feel low. Yeah I have gossiped but only about people I don't like at this school but that's only like, ALMOST two people. But I try not to.vi used to be worse. Really there is not point to gossip but self-satisfaction for one minute then sometimes guilt afterwards.
Better words could of not been used.Gosip has been around for much much to long, and the damage it does is catastrophic.If only someone or a large group of people would stop and think (hmm is is REALY necessary?).Hopefuly some day soon we can.
Perfection! Thank you aspen. My proctor moms nephew committed suicide. He did it about 2 months ago, his name was Brandon lossee. So thanks for bringing that into it. Especially because he was bullied and gossiped about when he went to POLARIS.
Gossip is usually just lies that people come up with to make others feel inferior to them. And what does that accomplish? Nothing all it does is make people feel depressed and worthless not to mention unwanted. Besides you don't know what they already are dealing with in their lives. You never know if they're already on the verge of committing suicide, cause if they are your comment could be the final straw for them.
I agree with what you have posted fully. Gossip has ruined one of my most important friendships, the one I used to have with Ivory. Gossip is so beyond evil, that it causes so much hurt, and depression, and violent feelings, and so much confusion as to the source, it becomes impossible to discern who it could have originated from in the first place! I strongly agree it should definitely perish with the year 2014!
Man aspin I agree with you a a billion percent thank you so much
