Everyone talks about people behind their back, but when does it get to be too much? Everyone has felt what it feels like to find out someone they thought was their friend really wasn’t. Sometimes it’s normal to talk about people, but after a certain extent it’s just not cool.

People think they know other people, but really there is so much a person can hide. While someone is sitting there talking about another person, that other person could be going through things that are  unimaginable, and while that person is going through this, the other person talking about them is only making it worse. Honestly nobody ever truly knows another person.

Once someone tells another person a “secret” it’s not a secret anymore, more than likely that little secret will spread like a wild fire. It is the same with talking behind some ones back. People love drama and stirring things up. With that eventually what is said behind another’s back will get to the person being talked about.

Some people will say that it doesn’t matter if they talk about others, because if the situation was in reverse that person wouldn’t care. It does matter, nobody likes anyone talking about them, even if it’s something little, it still hurts. Everyone wants to be liked, and it sucks to be the one who isn’t.

People are going to talk about other people behind their backs no matter what, but after awhile it’s cruel. No matter what nobody will ever know somebody else, end of story. A person can hide so much from another. Most likely once someone talks about someone to another person it will come back to bite that person. The next time you’re about to talk about someone think about how it would feel if you were the one being talked about.
