Gossip is the practice of a nosy person, who tries to discover secrets about someone to share with others. On many occasions, the shared secret may not even be true, but it is disclosed in the same way. Also known as ti ti ti, gossip proliferates in small environments such as small towns. One of the gossip's goals is to defame other people to feel superior and important. A gossip likes to think that he is an important source of knowledge, often talking about other people's flaws and shameful moments without the permission of the people in question.

Text for question 5
Distract yourself. Staying focused on your studies can be difficult when people are gossiping behind your back, but try to distract yourself by focusing your energies on positive activities(…)
Spend time with positive people. We often feel isolated when other people speak mean behind our backs, but fight this feeling by making an extra effort to spend time with those who value you.
Value yourself. When we are victims of malicious gossip, we may end up questioning our talents and strengths, but don't fall into the trap of self-criticism. Instead, think of all the things that make you an amazing person, reminding yourself of your worth as a human being—make a list of all your positive qualities.
Do yourself a kindness. Positive attitudes promote positive thoughts and feelings(…). Do pleasurable things.
