Quick Write: Observation

The way I'm going to observe how much people gossip and spread rumors is listen to how much my friends gossip and even confront how much I find myself talking about other people. What I consider gossip and rumors is when someone is taking negatively about someone else and if they heard it from someone else in long chain of people. I will make observations all around the school and for the duration of nutrition and my PE period, 3rd. I will tally how many people talk about other people. If 2 different people talk about the same rumor, that is just more people to add to the over-sized telephone game. If one person talks about 2 different rumors, that is 2 many rumors that person should be talking about. I estimate about at least 10 people to talk negatively about someone else.
