Is gossip dangerous and/or harmful?

I think that gossip can be taken differently by different people someone who doesn't get gossiped about don't take it seriously. There are many consequences to gossip you hear all of the time about kids going into school and shooting people its a real situation. Gossip is the same as being a bully just grow up and mind your own business so no one gets hurt because what if that person was you. Gossip and bullying has ruined too many lives and its a shame that its a shame that some people get pleasure out of it. There has to be changes or the world will be too harsh for some people to even make it emotionally.
