  1. Gossip starts when a group of people are having a conversation and someone only hears part of it. That person then goes and tells someone else what he just heard. You end up with a result that is similar to the game of telephone. The message ends mixed up and someone gets hurt.


  2. People who cant keep their mouth shut..

  3. Usually either by someone trying to start it or by some one misunderstanding something and repeated it. Either way it is wrong.

  4. Bad thoughts that we just can't keep to ourselves!

  5. The media,

    One person starting rumours,

    Truths being blown out of proprtion in a chinese-whispers like fashion,

    Mis-interpretations....

  28. It comes from one person finding out a secret and spreading it person by person and then everyone knows and sometimes someone gets made fun of because of the secret sometimes it comes from someone telling someone they think is a good friend something and they really can't keep secrets and they spread it around school or work or other places and the person may be made fun of then or giggles might come up as they pass by.that is how they work i guess^.^
