Best Answer

Rumors are pieces of information which may or may not be true. They are often misunderstood pieces of information that become widespread lies. They spread by "word of mouth," meaning people tell other people who tell others and so on. They can cause harm. Because they tend to be very mean and untrue, they can harm an individual's psyche or mental state.
