Someone started the rumour that he killed someone. But he says that rumours can be good because they can make you popular. But then again, they can be bad because you can lose your popularity and self-esteem. She's been a victim of them and she tries to stay away from gossips. She thinks people do it because they're afraid to confront the person.
Rumours can be good if good things are spread.
Rumours can make you or break you. They always feel bad when they're about you because they're lies. It's embarrassing hearing a rumour spread about you. If he heard someone started a rumour about him, he would try and solve the situation by talking to the person. He thinks some rumours are funny to hear, but not when they're about you.
