Okay, so whoever's reading this has, more than likely, been talked about, or you have talked about somebody else. So when you talk about people, basically all you're thinking is how funny your jokes are or how paranoid it's making the person feel that you're talking about...so yeah, it's fun. But, the tables turn when somebody starts talking about you. You begin to feel sorry for yourself and feel like everybody's laughing at you. Not much fun, huh? No. I didn't think so. So why is it so easy to put other people down and make fun of them, but when it's done to you, you can't take it? Here recently one of my friends experienced this. She talked about this one girl FOREVER, like every 5 minutes she would crack a joke. Were the jokes funny?? OH YEAH! Was it right...well, no. But today the girl that my friend was talking about gave my friend a taste of her own medicine. This girl started talking about my friend. So, of course, it hurt my friend's feelings. All day she's been feeling sorry for herself and talking about how this girl was being rude. But what my friend doesn't realize, is that what this girl is doing to her, she used to do the same thing. She just doesn't like that everything she did to this girl is being done to her now. I honestly don't blame this girl for talking about my friend for the simple fact that I probably would have done the same thing. What are you supposed to do?? Turn the other cheek?? UHHH, no! This is high school...Girls are always catty and defensive. That's just the way we are. We're like cats, we react when somebody steps on our tail...(that was a metaphor just in case you didn't already know that). Sitting back and smiling and pretending it doesn't bother us is above us. People don't expect that. They expect us to act out in catty, jealous, mouthy ways. So while typing this, I thought of a name for us high school "drama queens"..."Gossip Goddesses." If you disagree with this, then you do nothing but prove my point. =)
