Busybodies...

Sometimes I really don't understand why people feel it is their duty to announce to the world about what is going on in other people's life. I mean, if it's good news, that's fine. But what if it's news that the certain party wants to keep quiet? Just because the other party knows about it, does that give them the right to tell other people? Come on, you do not know the circumstances to why we would prefer to keep it quiet, so please, can you just keep your big mouth shut?

Do you think that just because you are related to us, that gives you the right to tell the world what goes on in our life? When a certain individual does not want to give specifics about what's happening, then what right do you have to tell the world about them?

Sure I know, you would say it's gossip, and other people gossip too, and yes, I know that they are their own individuals, they are free to say whatever they like. We can't stop someone when they want to gossip about us. Even someone as dumb as me can understand that.

But wth, you are our cousin! You, of all people should know how private we want to keep our life, and yet you still go around school telling other people about what goes on in our private life.

We do not appreciate it when you speak of what we wish to keep confidential, and I'm sure you would not appreciate it either if we told the whole school about what YOU wish to keep private.

Here's a thought. How would you feel if one day I blurt out all your secrets to everyone? How would you feel if one day I tell everyone about the things you would want to keep most personal? Would you say that's fine?

Please, respect other people's privacy, and other people will respect yours.

ok, rant over. *cheerios!*
