Gossiping...


What is the point of gossiping? All i really want to know is why do people do it, i mean i know i gossip, but i dont gossip about things that could be hurtful to the person who it was about. I know that today people were gossiping about me and my brother, and i think it is absolutely ridiculous.

The thing is, is that there is a show called Gossip Girl which is all about gossiping, but all the gossip that goes on in the show is hurtful to the person that it is about.

When i heard what people were saying about me and my brother (there was something that was read in one of my classes about an argument between me and him, which i did not want to be read.) really upset me because i know that people are now going to think that im just a sell out and really dont care, but the truth is, is that i really dont care about what other people have to say about me, but there will always be that little part of me that keeps saying that i did the wrong thing to rat him out. But in my opinion, and other peoples (my friends) i did the right things.

So all i want to know is why do people gossip. Is it to "unintentionally" hurt someone, or its it just stuff to talk about. What is the point to gossiping.

I feel like in your case the people went out to hurt you. But in general I think that gossiping is just to have something to talk about. I think talking behind someones back and gossiping is the same thing. I think they have no intention of getting back to the person you are talking about but in the end it usually does. I think gossiping in dumb, even though I do it so much, heh. I don't watch Gossip Girl so I don't really know the show but yeah that's my opinion on gossiping. Hahah. See you in math tomorrow! :)
