You hear a juicy story from a friend,who heard it from another friend,who heard it from a person in the hall,who read it on a note passed in math class,1       was written by somebody who probably just made it up.

Chances are,rumors and gossip are always floating around your school or community. That's totally normal. After all,everyone gossips,2       parents,celebrities,and politicians. It's part of how we communicate and stay 3       ( connect) with other people's lives. But what is the difference between a rumor and gossip?

A rumor is a piece of information or a story that has not been verified,meaning that the person 4       (tell) it doesn't know if it's true or false. It might be true,it might be partially true and partially made up,or it might be totally made up.

Gossip,on the other hand,is a little different. Gossip is talk that is somehow "juicy", meaning it deals 5        subjects that are 6       (shock) or personal. Gossip is usually about things like love and 7       (relation) ,or private things that people don't talk 8       (open) about. When a piece of gossip is known to be false,it's a lie,plain and simple. If a piece of gossip about somebody is true,it can still be very hurtful because that information may be private and personal.

Sometimes,rumors and gossip are 9         (harm) ,but at other times they can be very hurtful to individuals,friendships,and whole groups of people. Did you know that10        (spread) rumors and gossip about someone is a form of bullying?
