Gossip is harmful. Usually because it's not true. Some of the time it is but usually not. Even when it is true though usually people don't want their business spread all across the world. When it isn't true it's even more harmful, usually lies made up for revenge get spread and just keep spreading until it comes back to the person it is about. When that person hears this lie they get really mad or offended that someone would even think something like that about them. Sometimes it's not harmful, I guess there is good gossip but usually it's not interesting enough to get spread around.
