Talk Therapy

Nothing hurts more than discovering you're being talked about behind your back - especially if what's being said is untrue, malicious, or damaging to your reputation. A certain amount of harmless gossip is simply human nature - and we've all been on both ends of it. But what about when idle chat turns nasty? Spreading rumours, divulging secrets, and violating other's privacy certainly crosses the line and perpetuates a vicious cycle. Since gossip is usually at its apex in high school or college, pick up some pointers on how to deal with it. Top tip? The less you engage in trash-talking others, the less they'll talk about you. Words to live by.
