Rumor
"She's a slut"
"I heard she was pregnant"
"I heard that too, only, I thought she aborted it"
"She's such a whore"
"I heard she slept with the whole football team"
"Maybe that's why she became a cheerleader"
We hear this all the time.
The funny part about this one?
The girl they are talking about....
She's a virgin
Her ex spread these rumors
Because she
WOULDN'T
Sleep with him
Her parents found out about the rumors
They disowned her
She lost all of her friends
No one wants to be friends with the pregnant slut
Colleges no longer want her
They don't even care about her 3.7 GPA
The rumors
They ruined her life
And she's only 17
So think before you speak...
And feel before you hurt...
You don't know how powerful your words can be....
