How did it make you feel, and how did it impact your life?

At the time it made me feel horrible but as time went by and i figured out it wasn't true and it just made me stronger.]]> 2018-08-23 15:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894158 What https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894197 A multiple rumors were spread about me with extremely negative and harsh name calling about my appearance to others. I felt completely devastated but refused to allow others define me. I didn't want to focus on the negative energy. It changed who i was today and My perspective on how closed minded people are. The relationship with others while hearing these rumors faded rapidly. When they had no clue who i truly am. I was frustrated and hurt, all these emotions in one, i refused accept what others thought of me. also, i learned to not care of what they think of me. Which makes me stronger and better as a person.]]> 2018-08-23 15:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894197 Gossip! https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894208 I help spread rumors everyday. I've had a rumor spread about me, but that's a story for another day. The rumors I help spread are normally when two people are dating, about the people i hate, or just something surprising happens. ]]> 2018-08-23 15:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894208 Favorites https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894532 It was about a person not getting what they deserved for accomplishing things. At the end of the year we had a ceremony where they presented people with awards and metals they had won throughout the years. In the program this took place in one person in particular did a lot of work and accomplished a lot of things that helped somewhat improve the program. They got little to no medals. Another person took credit for what the other person had done and got over 4 metals as well as a cash prize. None of these individuals were me but I was really close with the individual who got little to no medals, and so was everyone else in the program. Everyone was more comfortable and liked the person more than the one who received all the medals. For me this felt wrong because I felt that it wasn't fair that the person who made a really positive impact on the program got little to no recognition while the other person, who had also spread other rumors about the other person mentioned not only took credit for their work, but also made little to no positive impact on the program. ]]> 2018-08-23 15:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894532 The Skinny Girl https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894633 Once upon a time not long ago, there was a rumor about me going around about how I was anorexic. It made me feel even more insecure about my self-image because it was actually true. It impacted my life and my health, because people talked about it so much I went into this deep stage of depression which caused me to stop eating. This resulted in me being underweight and even skinnier from when the rumor first started. I reacted to the situation by denying it but it did not last long because everyone found out I'd been hospitalized because of it. I still suffer from Anorexia, but I am taking things one day at a time. I am proud to say my weight has improved and I'm as healthy as can be. ]]> 2018-08-23 15:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894633 Quick Write https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894726 A few years ago there was this rumor about this girl I was really good friends with. The rumor that was spread was that she was trying to get with every guy she saw and she was doing drugs. I'd hear people talk about her as I walked through the halls to my classes, I felt I should have said something but  I decided not to. I  knew she was going through a lot at the time and I was as well. Our friendship soon ended because she started hanging out with the wrong people and I didn't want to be around them. I remember always still checking up on her even though we no longer hanged out, she'd come to me when she was having difficult times, and  finally one day I stood up for her. That day I don't think she ever found out about it but it didn't matter if she did, I knew I did the right thing. Although she spread rumors about me because we no longer spoke when we went into high school, I still forgave her and didn't talk badly of her.]]> 2018-08-23 15:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894726 gossip https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894854 yesterday in history my friends and I were talking about this chick and how she broke up with her boyfriend just to go flirting with other guys. ]]> 2018-08-23 15:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894854 schooL https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894904 I WAS AROUND PEOPLE WHO WERE TAKING EMBARRASSING PHOTOS OF ME ]]> 2018-08-23 15:21:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274894904 https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274895505 There was a rumor spread about me that because of the way I look that I smoked a lot and slept around]]> 2018-08-23 15:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274895505 history class https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274895668 In history class yesterday I was talking to two girls and we were talking about this girl that broke up with her boyfriend to get with another guy.]]> 2018-08-23 15:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274895668 Family Gossip https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274895957 After my dad's cousin's funeral when all of our family came together at my aunt's house.

At least not that I know of. To be honest, I don't care what they say. Although I have been engaged in a gossip about someone else. The gossip was how a student got suspended or expelled for threatening another student. It made me feel a sense shock and also kind of bad. It made me feel bad because I'm talking about this one student and they do not know we are talking about them. This impacted my life because it showed me the side of part taking in gossip and the reality about it is that it sucks major. Not only are we talking about them, but we also don't know how the other person feels or what they're going through due to these rumors getting out. I reacted as I always do in these types of situations, I just ignored it and try to forget about it because baby llama don't need no drama.]]> 2018-08-23 15:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274896585 I once heard a rumor about a boy my age at school a couple years ago and everyone was saying he was gay behind his back but it wasn’t true. People laughed and made fun of him for it and he was very hurt but he told everyone that he wasn't and the rumor eventually went away. https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274897246 2018-08-23 15:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274897246 https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274897638  A time that I heard a bad rumor being spread about someone was when rumors were being spread about my best friend. People around school had started saying that she was pregnant, which was not true. It all started after summer break because she had gone into a depression, which had caused her to over-eat and gain some weight. But as soon as we got back to school, the rumors spread, simply because she had gained some weight. it was hard to deal with because she is my best friend I wanted to help her but I didn't know how. it made me sad because she is a great person who didn't deserve that. ]]> 2018-08-23 15:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274897638 https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274897870 a time when a rumor was spread about me was probably freshman year when i moved away from home all the way to arizona. The rumor was that i was pregnant when i really just wasn't. it made me feel like no one there was really my friend. it impacted my life by showing me who my real friends are that i can trust. I reacted by shutting down all the rumors and letting everyone know the truth.]]> 2018-08-23 15:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274897870 https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274898207  
I remember at my old school people would always discuss other people’s relationships. They would spread rumors about how they were not going to workout and cheating and stuff like that. It was honestly so stupid I don’t know why people don’t mind their own business. I j kind of let the situations like that go.

Someone made a rumor that any flashing lights going by would activate it again or just simply turning on and off the lights in the classroom. I had multiple classes with him and thought it was kind of  funny so did he so I didn’t see a problem with it. ]]> 2018-08-23 15:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274898242 Middle School Rumor https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274913890 In middle school there was this girl that would give herself hickeys on her arms and shoulders but would say it was from a guy. It was obvious she was telling lies because she wasn’t dating anyone and no one does that. No one is going to give you a hickey on your wrist let alone a spot that close to your armpit especially in middle school. Obviously a rumor like that was naturally going around the school everyone was hearing about it and I honestly felt bad for her since she had to do something like that just to get attention. ]]> 2018-08-23 16:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274913890 Anonymous https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274938802 A time that I heard a rumor was when people were saying a girl was pregnant and we were only in 8th grade. Everyone was saying they saw here and that she told them but in reality they didn’t see her and didn’t talk to to her. Everyone kept saying that she was pregnant for about three months and then they realized they were wrong. I was involved with this rumor because I would tell people and gossip about it as well as the other people.

I was able to convince her that the rumors weren't true. I didn't like how people were going around saying things about me even though they didn't me and who I was as a person. ]]> 2018-08-23 18:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274969126 The Crush https://padlet.com/rgyoung/7kf96jauw5gi/wish/274969221 In 7th grade i like a girl and i thought she was cute and i told my best friend and told him not to tell nobody.

I ended up going down a dark path and it was a struggle to come back to the light basically. I had no one to help me when this was going on. I was betrayed so many times throughout life and thought I would never be happy. This has been happening since pre
school up until 7th grade. After that I ended up not caring. I tried fighting back when it went to far which did nothing. But then i just stopped fighting back.
