Gossip is never fatal until it is denied. Gossip goes on about every human being alive and about all the dead that are alive enough to be remembered, and yet almost never does any harm until some defender makes a controversy. Gossip's a nasty thing, but it's sickly, and if people of good intentions will let it entirely alone, it will die, ninety-nine times out of a hundred. ↗

I think the hardest part about being a teenager is dealing with other teenagers - the criticism and the ridicule, the gossip and rumors. ↗
