Gossips around my school and classmates

We all know gossips can't be avoided. It's always there wherever you go. That's reality. But, in my case, I'm almost on the verge of pulling my hairs out. You see, in my school, my girl classmates talk about another girl classmate of mine. Sure, the first few times it's still curiosity toward the subject of the discussion. But eventually, it just got worse. It's not curiosity anymore, it's pure bashing of the person! And what's worse, I keep hearing it every single day! It's not like I like to listen to them bash the person, it's that I can't help but hear their not-so-secret conversation. After all, we do share the same classroom. What choice do I have? And I also don't like to meddle in their business since I'm already pretty busy with mine. And sometimes, it amazes me how I'm not involved with anything they do but I actually KNOW quite well what the heck's going on. And I can't help but feel sorry for the gossiped classmate.

I believe it is a great shame the people are sitting around or standing around and involving themselves in idol gossip. I feel sorry for the classmate the gossips is about. You don't have the choice not to hear what is said. However you can make your own mind up about what to believe.

That is true. But I really wish there was a time, even one day would do, that they'd stop gossiping. It's not healthy.

I used to be gossiped about all the time and there have been times that I have been in your situation and I overhear people being gossiped about. And it is a sad thing. Its like people aren't mature enough to talk about people behind their backs. Especially when they are talking badly about people and they don't even know the entire situation. I guess some people will never grow up. But the best thing that you can do is just try to avoid listening to them. And not involve yourself in their conversations and gossip. No matter how good the gossip sounds.

It's the way of the world, sister dear. As much as the concept of having to listen to these rumors are unpleasant, feel blessed that at least those people are only waging wars by wagging their tongues amongst themselves instead of doing so in physical combat. Your classmates don't want to mess up with their looks, right? Especially those who misunderstood their own genders? Leave them be and turn a deaf ear. Do not take their words to heart. They entertain themselves by hurting people's person and that is something one cannot change just easily. It's a personality that comes with having too much pride of themselves or very low self-esteem. Those peacocks only likes to fluff up their feathers and let them if that's how they want themselves to be--birdbrains (which you know, doesn't have much intelligence). You're a fine breed, young lady, so just remain a human and let them be birds. They always squawk early but they'll shut up eventually.

Are you close with those girls starting the gossips? Coz if yes, maybe you should tell them to stop talking about the girl coz it is really not good to do such a thing. I pity the girl being laughed at.

I am agree with you and I also feel sorry about those ones who have time for gossips. I do not like to be in any of those gossips business. In college and school time I was facing the same problems with classmates. I was just quiet and while of their bla bla bla I used to think in my mind about my wishes and repeat some good words in my mind.
