My project is about what interest me the most, Gossip! I’ve never personal experience gossip in a horrible way, but I have experience gossip. Gossip is another word for hate basically. When people don’t like someone, because they don’t like how that person go about things, he/she feels they need to go share irrelevant news with others. A person can also feel he/she self-esteem is low and be jealous of the person their sharing rumors about so they will either stretch the truth or make up lies.. A student from Branford high was interview about her personal experience with gossip. That student doesn’t mind sharing their experience with gossip. This person is a 16year old female that would like to be known as anonymous. She was dating this guy and since he was a popular guy very attractive a lot of girls didn’t like her. Not only because she and him were together, but also because she was new to the school. She believes words were passed around the school out of jealousy. Examples such as she’s ugly, a hoe, she has yellow teeth, and etc. Very mean and cruel words that hurt her feelings that made her want to transfer out of the school. For someone’s first year at Branford High School that sure is not a warm welcome. Not only does that go on in Branford High School, but in other High Schools as well.
Gossip is a topic that no one wants to be apart of. Gossip is a waste of time, Hurt feelings and reputations, Jeopardized chances for the gossipers’ advancement as they are perceived as unprofessional for students, people in general who may search for jobs. But due to the gossip not knowing how far it may travel its not a good outlook.
Gossip shared in the celebrity industry is different from the infamous. Celebrities have to expect it from someone to know that there doing their job correct basically. Because there’s always going to be that one “hater” that has something negative to say about someone. I’m sure to know that it does hurt feelings, but not as many people’s feelings in that industry. In the real world (non celebrities) gossip hurts even more especially when you’re young at age. Gossip goes a long way in high school. Mostly with females people think but males are just as likely to spread gossip as females are. That’s why people in general say that girls are drama which I strongly believe too. I think certain females are drama but not all females. If people can have some consideration for others than the word gossip wouldn’t be so familiar to others.
Gossip is not only most popular in the junior high and high schools. But is a big deal at adults jobs. Especially upon the females, people would think that, because you’re older and wiser you wouldn’t have time for immature games and little kid playing such as gossiping. But now a days dealing with a lot of females at your job 9 time out of 10 gossips will commence.
How to deal with gossip? First off I’ve read in a study that, dealing with gossip is to be direct with the person who is spreading the gossip. Let he/she know how the gossip affected you and how hurtful it is. How to prevent yourself from being apart of gossip is to change the subject, pay attention to what you say about others in your conversation. Don’t share personal information to others that you don’t know or trust the well. To prevent other drama just let it go. If you’ve already asked the gossipers to stop blabbing about you or others and they’re still at it, move on and let it go. The gossipers will eventually get bored and move on, and you’ll be happy that you didn’t spend any more of your time worrying about what they had to say.
