Rumors can affect people in major ways. Some rumors can brighten up your day, but some can completely destroy someones reputation. Rumors have caused many problems for people such as low self esteem, depression, and suicide. I know some rumors that float around this school are harmless and are just funny, but I know some that could really hurt some people. I don't spread rumors, I simply observe and see what happens. Sometimes I feel I should step in and help get rid of a nasty rumor, but I also feel very tempted to spread one. I will admit I have spread rumors, but I know when to stop.
