One is low self esteem, another is habit and for me the most important is their parents. Where did children learn how to gossip? are their parents gossiping? do parents tell children not to gossip and they do it? This is really interesting for me. I think both parents and children are involved in this issue. When it comes to children I always focus on parents, what do you think?Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09533679201893225630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30644215.post-1161359645639053482006-10-20T12:54:00.000-03:002006-10-20T12:54:00.000-03:00I agree with you, Andrew.

I'm sure we can always speculate and say that people who think they're better than others probably have some deep-seated insecurities. But, maybe it's possible that they simply think they're better than others. And no one is better than anyone else.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I think that people who gossip ARE pretentious. Even if they are really feeling insecure or intimated, pretension is that outward expression of superiority. And I think that once people, especially young people, recognize that gossiping is equivalent to a supercilious attitude, they will stop.Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09720024916714288188noreply@blogger.com
