Rumors
Think of a rumor you heard recently. At the moment of your hearing it, what did you believe? Who had control-- the one who spread the rumor or the one about whom the rumor was spread?
Last year, there was a rumor about a meanest teacher in Gunderson. I considered myself as a maverick instead of a conformist. The students used Blogger as a tool to verbally attack the teacher. Soon, almost every sophomore believed to this cruel rumor. In addition to that they found the fault of the teacher in order to make it more valid. Obviously, the teacher was the victim and they were the “troublemaker”.
