Having learned by experience how gossip and teasing can be a verbal weapon, I took all the underdogs under my wing. I socialized with everyone regardless of race, body weight, or how many pimples they did or didn't have. The next time you're listening to someone gossip, notice how the tips of their fingers float to the edge of their mouth. That happens because their inner conscience is trying to halt the chain of events and slap their trap shut. We all know that babble is cruel and unnecessary.
Most girls gossip to elevate their own status among others, at the expense of others.
The cost can be very high as we all know from recent events. Unfortunately it's not only teens that enjoy this pastime, adults do it as well, probably just a tad more sophisticated. You will be the victim of gossip one day too. Gossip gives us a very fleeting heady sensation, we feel bold and beautiful as if we're the guiding light of the moment. As the world turns we pivot with it.
