I hate gossipers and slanderers!!! Do you??
slander:(noun, verb tr.)
1. (Law) Oral communication of false statements injurious to a person's reputation.
2. A false and malicious statement or report about someone.
I think this short explanation on what this term means is ENOUGH...
You can send me and share the examples of gossiping and slandering which are so HARMFUL and DESTRUCTIVE. I wonder if there is anybody who likes that.
SO ; One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated. This rule really works..
Greetings to those who try to avoid gossiping and slandering.
Yours always,
Sensei.

Hello, Sensei!
That is very interesting, trite and at the same time continually topical issue! Gossips! Everyone can be a victim of that unpleasant phenomenon!
So I would like to write about how to protect oneself from slanders!
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”
Since gossip is so powerful it has a great influence on others and so it must be battled through positive influence in response. There are a number of actions you can take against gossip.
Ignore it:
-Avoid people who talk gossip and don’t give any opportunities for them to spread it
-Simply leave the room or conversation when gossip starts
Don’t respond to questions about opinions on others or other gossip traps
-Ignore gossip and don’t engage in any gossip based conversations
Prevent it:
-Never start any of your own gossip
Change the topic whenever a conversation leads to gossip
-Refuse to listen or respond to any gossip you are faced with
Hide any hurt feelings or dramatic reaction to gossip. This fuels the gossips to continue as its often what gossips want to generate.
Confront it:
-Politely say that you would prefer to talk about that person when they are present
-If you know the source of gossip, go and confront them immediately and calmly tell them you do not appreciate them talking about you and that it causes hurt feelings whether intentional or not.
-If you hear someone start some gossip, offer to go to that victimized person with the gossiper right away to discuss it.
-Simply respond to gossip, “Would you like to have someone share that about you without you knowing?” and walk away.
-State I don’t like talking about other people because I don’t like them talking about me.
-State that you don’t talk about others unless its to help them or support them
-State that you don’t want to talk about others negatively unless they are involved in the discussion
