Hello there. I am Riley and I am concerned about people spreading rumors.
 Rumors are a bad thing. If you don't know what rumors are they are gossip that is not true. Rumors are caused by jealousy,bullying and more. I have heard of a lot of rumors.One rumor I have heard of is that someone made a rumor of kids fighting at a party. However, kids at the party said that he didn't fight. So it's a rumor. Rumors are everywhere in schools,outside, and inside.Rumors are a big problem in BPS.

 I have had problems with them same with all my friends . Rumors affect everybody, not just the person the rumors about. Rumors can change by not spreading them or making them. For example, if someone tells you something ask them if its true or if its a rumor. Rumors are not a good thing and they dont make you more popular. They don't make you cool.Rumors are very bad. At your school/work they don't go away unless you make them go away by not making them or spreading them. There are sometimes good rumors. For example,  I heard that you are getting paid or something like that. But they are not all good like I heard Jimmy eats weird food. Before you go and tell all of your friends go and ask Jimmy what he eats or ask the person who told you if its true. Before you go and make fun of Jimmy or something like that. Rumors are not a good thing, so don't do them.

 Thank you for your time,


Riley Cook
