Rumors and Gossip

RUMOR A rumor is a statement (or report) that is being said without knowing if it is true or not.

GOSSIP Gossip is usually about things like love and relationships, or private things that people don’t want others to know.

REAL OR MADEUP Rumors and Gossip might be true, they might be partially true, or totally made up. Unless someone can definitely say the story is true - it will stay a rumor or gossip story!

RUMORS AND GOSSIP SPREAD From person to person, or can spread from one person to a bunch of people at once. This is usually done behind the person’s back.

RUMORS AND GOSSIP CAN CHANGE They can change slightly each time they’re told, so they get more exaggerated over time

RUMOR EXAMPLE I heard that anybody who fails the next Math test is going to have to repeat the class over the summer. What are some rumor/gossip examples that you have heard?

WHY DO PEOPLE GOSSIP AND SPREAD RUMORS? To feel superior To feel like part of a group For attention For control or power Out of jealously/revenge Out of boredom

Why It Hurts, Why Its Wrong Words hurt as much or more than a punch! Gossip and rumors can be a form of exclusion - leaving someone out! Gossip and rumors DESTROY TRUST! True or not, private is private!

BREAKING THE CHAIN Decide whether the rumor or gossip is hurtful or harmless by asking yourself the following questions. Triple Filter Test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj-zseUqQxk&t=5s

Triple Filter Questions Before Telling someone something ask yourself these questions: Is it True? Is it Good? Is it Useful? If you can’t say yes– DON’T REPEAT THE RUMOR

Someone Want To Tell You A Rumor Refuse to repeat rumors or gossip Tell the person to stop spreading rumors or gossip Look the rumor-gossiper in the eye and using a strong (but not raised like yelling or angry) voice and say, “That sounds like a rumor. You should talk to _______(the name the rumor is about) and not spread that rumor to anyone else”

To Tell or Not To Tell You are in the hallway at school. You hear a girl planning a party and she distinctly says “I am not inviting Sarah” Sarah is a good friend of yours, how many of you tell her what you have heard? What are you really accomplishing by telling your friend what people are saying about him or her? Could there be times when your friend should know that things are being said? What could those be? If the rumor is damaging to reputation or someone could get physically hurt if someone doesn’t put a stop to it.

Rule of Thumb If it’s going to hurt the other person to hear it.....don’t tell the person! If you hear it from a third party, go with the assumption it is not true. If you know the rumor is false—say so!

Other statements to say That sounds like a rumor to me! You don’t have proof of that! You don’t know if that’s true! That sounds like something you should talk about with the person involved.
