    In divorces,everyone is called “crazy”,”bi-polar”,or said to have “had a nervous breakdown”.

    In cases of O.T.D.kids,”the parents did…..wrong”.

    Articles on psychology are everywhere,and everyone is analyzing everyone else to death.

    Please:STOP DOING IT.

    And when others spout this foolishness,ask them EXACTLY what their sources are.

    “The guy in shul”? “A reliable source”?

    WHO?

    MAY I PHONE HIM?

    And then DO THE SAME THING TO THE “RELIABLE SOURCE”.

    Or simply tell the person,”You should not be saying this,unless you are THAT PERSON’S DOCTOR. And If you are that person’s doctor,you could be sued …

    This rant seems a bit nuts 🙂

    I happen to agree with Eclipse. I think that too many arm-chair psychologists are throwing around these terms with no real substance to them. Sometimes nice people get divorced because they are not right for each other. Sometimes kids rebel, because well… that’s what kids do when they become teens. Sometimes they are intransigent, but it does not mean the parents did something wrong OR that the kids are emotionally disturbed. Having said this — sometimes people ARE mentally ill, and parents made horrific mistakes with their kids. But it still is not our place to judge.

    I always,always challenge rumors.

    I once cleared someone of a terrible rumor by tracing it all the way back to the source.

    The woman who had started it (by jumping to the wrong conclusion) told me, “THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR SOME OF THE DAMAGE.”

    Why does everybody “yap” and try analyzing why people go tdivorced, why that kid got kicked out of school etc….? If they want to help, they should daven, instead of being over many lavim of lashon hara.

    If you want to stop it just tell the yentas “Stop right there I don’t listen to Loshan Horah”.

    Nice idea but when the person is being spoekn about by tens of people, he can’t go around requesting that people stop saying malicious rumors about him. Everyone should learn shmiras halashon & put it into practice! Then mashiach will come and we won’t have tzaros which people can “yent” about!

    aries-“If you want to stop it just tell the yentas “Stop right there I don’t listen to Loshan Horah”.

    Thats a Madreiga only a tiny percentage of the population is on (depending on the crowd you circulate in). A juicy piece of Lashon hara is juicier than a juicy piece of steak or moist slice of chocolate cake. No matter how we all know those people are respected, people find it hard to abstain from talking/listening.

    Ofcourse, it is hard in the beginning but once you start saying it, it becomes easier and easier.

    You can say,”I don’t like it when people discuss me,so I try not to talk about others.”
