Drama Drama

Gossip is one of those things that is hard to escape from in high school. I believe that gossip is when you say something negative about a person when they arent there. I don't think you are gossiping when you are saying nice things about that person when they aren't there. Whenever someone starts venting to me about another person I dont really like it is very hard not to say I don't agree with them, but I do try to hold back my feelings as much as possible. When I do talk about people I say things that I wouldn't be afraid to say to their face. I also like to think about how much I hate when people say things about me that aren't true. The best way to stay out of the drama in high school is to just say  positive things about people when someone else may be bashing them. This way you feel better about yourself and other people like you because you look for the good in others. This little story was a perfect way to get across that gossiping hurts people and you should always watch what you say.
