Olivia's Post

Whenever I hear people talking badly about people in a conversation that I am a part of, I usually defend that person that they are talking about. I'm over making fun of people, because I know what it feels like and it's not a good feeling. Most of the stuff people say isn't even true, and then other people hear it and they spread it around, and the whole story has turned completely upside down being tossed around from person to person. What I usually say is, "What's wrong with that person?" or "What have they ever done to you?" Usually the person on the other end just shrugs, because truely there is nothing wrong with the person, and most likely they haven't done anything to them. That person who talks about people and makes life miserable for another person, is just plain mean, and actually unhappy with themselves, so they have to put others down to make themselves feel better. When that person hears what's being said about them, this huge wave of all different emotions comes. Anger, sadness, confusion, and they don't know how to deal with them, and the think of getting revenge, but realize it's just not worth it.
