yes gossip can be evil.... grr... the bitches who USED to be my friends at my old school decided to make up a load of s**t about me being a slag etc. (which was NOT true by any means, i might add) and my bf at the time who id been going out with for 2 years and was my first love tried to ignore them but in the end cos they gossiped so much he believd them! so they broke up my relationship...ive seen him since and we realised that he's made a huge mistake but too much had happened to go back to how things had been before!
on the other hand...harmless gossip thats not going to hurt anyone can be fun, lol!
