Gossip

I think this is a very appropriate analogy to make about gossip. Gossip is bad things about people that someone starts and gets around as fast as a bullet gets to its target. If you are the generator of the gossip you will lose your friends and will make yourself disliked by everybody. If you are the one the gossip is about people may start to see you in a bad way and people will think that what the gossip said is always true about you. I would have told the girl to say sorry to the boy and never do it again.
