money on the fact that you probably are too. It’s hurtful, creates unnecessary
drama, and 99.9% ( made up
percentage but most likely right ) of the time is untrue. What do we
girls have to gain by saying negative things about other people? Hmm… let me
think about that for a sec… ok I have thought of something. It’s NOTHING! We
have absolutely nothing to gain by spreading lies or saying negative and hurtful
things about other people think about it – what are some of the reasons you say
mean things or spread gossip? Here are some of the reasons gossip has crept into
my life.
• Because I am
hurting – The person I talk about has hurt me in some way. And, for a
brief moment in time, saying mean things helps me make my hurt feelings
vanish.
• Because I am
not actually talking TO the person I am talking ABOUT –
Maybe we’ve had a disagreement. Maybe she’s dating my ex. Maybe she has RUINED
our friendship in order to be friends with another “crowd”. For whatever the
reason me and her just do not talk anymore. Except through mutual friends where
are words are so easily misconstrued.(
to make
a wrong interpretation)
• Because I didn’t say it
first – If I didn’t say the mean thing first – I am just repeating what
someone else said to tell the story – then I don’t have to worry about it
because I didn’t come up with it. I’m simply just repeating what some else said,
so it’s ok. (WRONG)
It really is so easy to get
caught up in the “he said, she said” that is baby stuff. My advice is to stay
out of it as much as possible.A
quote Whoever gossips to you will gossip about you.
Do you have a friend who will be in
a school play soon? Wish them luck and tell them you know they are going to do a
great job! Do you have a friend who is having a hard time getting along in
school !Talk to them about it and encourage them to talk to someone
My challenge to you is to find out
something one of your friends is struggling with – and instead of turning around
and telling all your other friends what that is help them J
Then, watch and see how much more
drama-free your life will be! And, how many more friends you will have
