Gabriella_4.1_OL

A girl lost her scholarship and had to leave school due to a major problem, and everybody was scandalyzed about the event. Few people knew the truth about what was going on including me. I heard many people gossip in the halls with their friends about why she got expelled. Many rumours started arousing, and then it got to the point where I was not sure if I should laugh or get mad about what they were saying. One of the rumors was that she was pregnant. In order to clarify what happened, the authorities called the students to meeting. They explained the reasons why the girl had to leave the school. It was mainly a GPA issue and that she was hanging around the wrong people. Many interpretations were drawn by different people. They judged her actions based on dispositional factors and not situational ones. People describe events in their own perspective, and most of the time these judgments are wrong and biased. People at school add information that was not true and made up their own stories. Even though the authorities tried to clarify the situation by doing a meeting, they went sort of unethical with the management of the whole problem. At the end, people will always talk, so as long as we know what is the truth, we should feel serene and calm.

It's ridiculous how easily people make judgments. What's even more ridiculous is how nosey people are sometimes. A lot of times, the things people spend their time talking and gossiping about has nothing to do with them at all; for instance, knowing why the girl lost her scholarship will not affect anyone's lives but the girl herself (and maybe her family). I think people need to spend their time and energy talking about things that matter instead of wasting time on empty chatter.
