“Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday？”Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining，Tori brags.“You bet I told me two days ago.”
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about？It just happens to be yours truly，Adam Freedman.I
can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even ，Lindsey and Tori
aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School，including of our
conversations are gossip(闲话)．I have noticed three effects of gossip：it can hurt people，it can
give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction，and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked
y，gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups，trouble at home，even
dropping out—that a person would rather keep more embarrassing or shameful the
secret is，the juicier the gossip it ly the worst type of gossip is the absolute
often think of gossipers as harmless，but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful，then why do so many of us do it？The answer lies in
another effect of gossip：the satisfaction it gives g the latest rumor(传言) can make a
person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’rly，hearing the
latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.” In other words，gossip is
satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感)．
Gossip also can have a third effect：it strengthens unwritten，unspoken rules about how
people should sor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors
in a ated into high school terms，this means that if everybody you hang around with is
laughing at what John wore or what Jane said，then you can bet that wearing or saying something
similar will get you the same kind of negative do’s and don’ts conveyed through
gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
The effects of gossip vary depending on the next time you feel the urge to
spread the latest news，think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story”
might have.
