That is so good. I love that story. I feel the same way, too, so you are not the only one!
—Tatiana, Age 9, Texas
 

I used to have that problem, too.
—Ilana, Age 11, New York
 

Ignore them! Don't let it bother you, and don't do it back because you are a better person then they are.
—Rosemary, Age 10, Texas
 

I know how this could hurt your feelings, but I think that you should focus on learning and getting good grades. Ignore the rumors!
—Nopealey, Age 10, California
 

That is sad, Arizona.
—Dakota, Age 9, Texas
 

I don't like people who gossip!
—Yuiko, Age 11, Hawaii
 

There is a lot of gossip at my school. If you even talk to a boy, then by the end of the day, people will think you both really like each other!
—Sarah, Age 11, Texas
 

When somebody says something mean about me like that, I feel sad.
—Sarai, Age 8, Kansas
 

Arizona, listen. If I were you, I would just focus on who your real friends are. Don't pay attention to people who are gossiping. Just try to ignore them.
—Keven, Age 10, Massachusetts
 

I have bossy people in my class, too.
—Olivia, Age 9, Florida
 

At my old school, some girls used to talk about other people in bad ways. One time, I found out that they were making up rumors about me, but I just ignored them, and I felt a little better. I guess the right thing to do is to just ignore gossip.
—Alicia, Age 11, Kansas
 

Please don't put gossiping in your stories.
—Hunter, Age 7, Maryland
 

I love Arizona!
—Lauren, Age 9, Illinois
 

In my opinion, anyone who's always talking about other people doesn't really have a life of their own.
—Abrianna, Age 10, Georgia
 

I think "Wondering" should just ignore anything bad that these people say about you or any of your friends. Gossiping usually means that the person who is gossiping is jealous of something that you have, so take it as a compliment.
—Lauren, Age 10, Illinois
 

Arizona, that was the best story ever! By the way, I have someone just like that in my class.
—Abby, Age 8, New Jersey
 

I know how Arizona felt! People are always looking for a bit of gossip at my school. So if anyone is having trouble with gossipers, just steer clear of them, and know you're not alone!
—Brianna, Age 12, North Carolina
 

This is a wonderful story.
—Lily, Age 7, Virginia
 

There are a few kids at my school like that, too. It really stinks, doesn't it?
—Kellie, Age 11, Massachusetts
 

At my school, I just ignore people like Lavender, Petunia, and Lilac. They aren't worth my time!
—Mayra, Age 11, Virginia
