If you are in school you have probably dealt with some gossip. Surprisingly, girls are not the only ones who gossip. I once had a guy say I had a crush on him when I didn't and told all of his friends. I was so embarrassed. Gossip is the act of spreading thoughts about someone that may or not be true. Trust me, gossip hurts. If you are a victim of gossip here are some tips.
Talk to the person who is gossiping about you- If you are shy like I can be, write down what you are going to say then practice it in front of your mirror, or in your room until you are comfortable. Make sure that you pull the person aside because if you don't the situation may be misinterpreted.
Be calm when talking to the gossiper- When you are mad you often don't think as well as if you were calm. One time my friend tried to talk to a gossiper while she was angry and it came out harsh. So, make sure if you are mad, take in a few deep breaths and then talk to them.
Ask someone you trust about what you should do- You can confide in a best friend or a mom or even a dad. Tell them your situation and then ask their opinion.
If it is on social media.......
Social media is powerful and information can be spread in a matter of seconds. If you are being cyberbullied don't be afraid to print out the hurtful comments, shut down your account, then either talk to the person,or go to someone you trust. No one deserves to be gossiped about whether you are biracial, or black or white.
STAND UP AGAINST GOSSIP.
