Ahh yes, I can see how one could assume I meant talking about people in such a rude way. I don't and honestly, it's not even something that comes up very often anyways. I think the last discussion I had with another person about someone's appearance consisted of "I really don't get why so many girls find him attractive. He's not bad, but not my type." I would never say that to the actual guy, because it's still indeed an insult and I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings. [quote]I take issue with speaking negatively (Saying things just to be malicious) about people behind their back. When I was in middle school I had a group of friends who had talked behind my back and were just generally mean about people when they weren't around. The people who weren't involved in that stopped talking to the people who were doing that. For me it's a bit more personal and I try to think what it would be like for someone to hear all the things said about them while they weren't there.[/quote] I can relate. I was actually really bullied in middle school myself, but I can ensure you people mature. It do get better, perhaps not in high school but it do eventually, I promise :)
