Can you tell me about this lollipop? It looks Cute? Look delicious? Make you want to try it? I tried it and it taste so bad. Do you believe it? Would you tell other people that it taste bad and don’t buy it? In nowadays, most of people believe what other people say about something or someone. Then pass this information to another people. The easy way to say that is gossip or better way to say it is to card about everything. I believe as a human being, we like to gossip of course I’m one of it. However when the main charter who we gossip on heard it, he or she might be hurt. Then what we get? It will ruin our relationship with each other; and I was one of example.
At high school year, I had a friend call Joyce. Even thought we were not close friends, but we still play together and said hi to each other. Something was change start with a guy call David. David was a transfer student. After him transferred to our school, Joyce kept saying I’m fat. She said “Lillian, you can keep going eating and then you will get fatter and fatter.” “Lillian, why every time I see you, you are eating.” or “Lillian, your stomach getting bigger and bigger, and you still eating.” Basically, I didn’t care, because I knew I’m fat. One day, a friend came over to me and said “Lillian, I think Joyce had quash on David? I even think that she was jealous on you, because you and David were too close. That’s why every time she said you are fat in form of him” I never though Joyce would say those thing for purpose. After that ever time she said that, I felt I was be insult. Then I began to dislike her. Of course after knew she was doing for purpose, I wasn’t talk to her again, didn’t even say hi. Every time when friends talk about Joyce, I would say “I didn’t like her, because she likes to insult me. The reason was because she jealous about me with David…………….” This ever ended until we graduate.
One year after graduate, I found out she and my boyfriend went into the same collage. One day my boyfriend came home and said “Did you know I met Joyce today and did you know what she said about you” I didn’t know what she said to him, but I want to tell him about what she had done to me in the high school. My boyfriend continued “She said, you are a nice girl, but you seems don’t like her. You like to say bad thing behind her back.” Said bad think behind her back. Well~~ I didn’t think I had said bad thing behind her back, beside she was insult me first. By the way I was telling the truth. Then we get into the fight. At the end my boyfriend said “Did you sure about her doing this because of her jealous? Did she have say she had quashed on David to someone else?” Well, I couldn’t answer it. Because everything I knew was heard from a friend, I didn’t ask her and I couldn’t make sure she had say it to other either. So, did she really do it for purpose? I asked myself again. This time I couldn’t answer it, but I know I might be wrong. I felt sorry what I had done to her and lost her as a friend.
My dear members, we always use our sense to believe someone or something, and then make a conclusion. We even believed what we hear form other people, and then add with what we saw. However not everything we saw won’t be true of what it means. Just like my story. Maybe Joyce didn’t mean to insult me. Maybe she tried to remind me not getting fat and to keep in shape. But I choose to believe what my friend said about her. Like this candy, it might looks cute, looks delicious, and makes you believe it will taste goo. However, we have to try it to find out the real answer.
Gossip may not be a bad thing; it was part of our life. It is an entertainment let our life have some fun or a topic for starting a conversation. If you don’t have a guts to ask the main charter for the truth, just shout up then be a listener. Don’t spray out as you mean it. Don’t make yourself as a big mouth person and hurting someone. If you real do it, then you will follow my step.
