We live in a society where many people either know everything, or feel as if they need to know everything about other people's lives. I grew up in an extremely small town, so I know what it is like to have business that is good, bad, or neutral spread around as fast as possible. People get so caught up in oversharing, that they have a fear of missing out. I am not trying to say that posting a photo on Instagram of yourself or with your friends is bad, but constantly making a status on Facebook about your opinion is unnecessary.

I bring up oversharing because many people who participate in this are often the ones spreading other people's business. I have one question. WHY DO YOU CARE?

Really, why do you care? What does spreading a rumor about someone else do for you? Seriously, I don't understand. Many times, these people that gossip about others have no emotional attachment to the person, they just thrive on gossip and on finding out the next juicy detail.

This is to everyone who thinks that their opinion is better than others', to anyone who has a problem with people having fun in college, or to anyone who gossips about the people they dislike. This is also to everyone else who can't stop running their damn mouths for no reason.

I'm sure your life isn't fully in check. By all means, share the video of a dog licking peanut butter or of frogs dancing, but posting your own opinion to receive affirmation, or even to get an argument out of others, is simply childish. We ALL know what you're doing, and you look really desperate.

Some people go even further. I'm not sure if it stems from jealously, but we'll blame it on that since everyone always does. The amount of people who go after a respected person to ruin their reputation are just a low. You really care enough about another person to try to make them look bad? The truth is, you make yourself look like a piece of trash in the process, so attempting to do so really shouldn't even be on your mind. Stop caring so much and fix ya-damn self.

So, the next time I post, my friend posts, my cousin posts, or some random person across the world posts, people need to remember to stop caring. Nobody actually likes gossip. The only reason people choose to be around someone like that is to find out information, because you best bet that no one will actually trust them with anything.
