During my talk with the girls we spent time discussing friendship, fitting in, handling negativity and, of course, rumors. Telling lies about someone can certainly bring that person down, but does nothing to move the rumor-initiator upward. We are often tempted in our youth to damage or bring down someone else in order to make them the "weird" one, therefore allocating ourselves as the "normal" or "right" alternative. The failure in this is that there is no such thing as "right," only endless difference. A rumor is also easy to spread but difficult to undo, which we learned once in an episode of The Office...ah, but I digress. The point is that there is no point to rumors. They accomplish nothing except pain for the victim. Just remember: no one can talk behind your back unless you are ahead of them.
