Rumors~ something that is said about a person that is not true or not from a reliable source.
As teenagers we hear rumors all the time ,maybe we've even heard some about ourselves. We all know how much it hurts to have false accusations made about us and how hard they are to correct. Once a rumor is started by someone they spread fast especially now a days with all the social media readily available to anyone anywhere. This makes the lies even harder to correct and makes it easy for someone to target and attempt to destroy another persons reputation ect. These are so hard to correct because once a false accusation is made its usually a twisted or exaggerated version of something similar that happened and when you try to explain the truth its not as "interesting". Our society today feeds off of interesting and believes what most fits what they want to hear. Someone will happily twist something to gain popularity, friends, or even to just be noticed. This is sad but its also true we see it all the time but what do people do about it? Nothing, what can we do about it? We can try to confront whomever started it but that always makes it worse on us ,you see we want to fight back but don't know how because that would give satisfaction to the "bully". So what can we really do ,we stay quiet and hope it goes away while it tears us apart on the inside... I'm not saying do nothing because it comes a point that we need to take stronger actions but honestly the best thing you can do is ignore it, don't give them the satisfaction they crave. The goal of a bully is to inflict the pain upon someone else that they already feel in his or her own life. Ignore what they do but don't hold in how you feel either that only leads to more hurt for yourself. Instead surround yourself with people who know the truth and talk about whats going on, doing this will remind you that your not alone and when you have people that know the truth than it doeskin matter what everyone else says or thinks, because at the end of the day the people that matter in your life know you for the real you, not the you that someone else created to draw attention or attempt to ruin your life. The ones that really know you will support you and having that will get you through it :)
