Gossip...
Its something that i think we have all done during our time at school. I also think we all know there has been gossip at a time about ourselves. The funny thing with gossip is that we all hate it when its about us but L-O-V-E to be part of it. Only a small amount of people can resist the urge to quickly tell a friend something about someone. However what I wonder is why is it so appealing? We all know why gossip hurts already. Its the fact that people know or think they know something about you but you dont know what it is. But what makes gossip the main topic during sleepovers? Is it the fact that due to peer pressure we have to be "perfect" during school and so let all that annoys us out at other times. Or is it that we feel like we have to talk about others to fit in? My conclusion:
" we talk about others to feel better about ourselves"
I believe that due to social pressures we always think about how we look, what we say and who we hang out with. This however just causes many to be perfect at pointing out their own flaws. I keep thinking that we are just so jealous of so many that gossiping brings us inner joy as we forget about our own flaws and can point out others's. What we can do about it? Personally i would like to say its as easy as just accepting our flaws and stop finding joy in analyzing others's. I and many others know how it feels to be gossiped about especially if the gossip is untrue. However it is not that easy. It will take time and more than just a few people to co-operate. How long this will take? I have no bloody idea.
