about people, because you just basically "broke" after trying SO hard to fit in with your peers?

I did. I basically just given up after hearing ANOTHER negative thing about me, and started to gossip and spread people's secrets. I knew lots of them because I was the shy girls who doesnt talk.

It didnt make me any popular (which I knew it wouldnt) but at least people were being less nasty towards me because at least then they knew I could be nasty too if they went too far.

Did any of you ever do that before?

I can only remember spreading one sort of rumor. On an overnight class trip to a national park another kid and I went for a walk. When we came back we claimed to have seen a deer, when we hadn't. I don't know why we did that. As for gossip, everyone does that at least a little bit. I try not to do too much of it. I am especially against spreading malicious gossip. Whether true or false, it shouldn't be spread. The exception is in cases like child abuse. Then you have to report it to the authorities. Or if a friend is getting into trouble with drugs, booze, or sex. Then you need to protect them from themselves by telling their parents. You could go through your parents to do this if you want, but if you really care about a friend, sometimes you need to protect them from their own bad choices.

Never. But then I am incapable of doing such because I can't remember names and faces.
