“A good reputation is the most valuable thing we have. If you steal my reputation, you’re robbing me of something that doesn’t make you richer, but makes me poorer.”
I think in a way this is true. My reasoning for this is because people react to you differently based on your reputation in your community. People tend not to like or hang out with you if your reputation is bad. People think a lot of times if you hang out with a person with a bad reputation then they will earn a bad reputation as well. When you talk bad about another person it doesn’t help you in any way it just hurts the other person more. You may get people to believe you and mad at the other person for a little while but it’s not really worth it is it? Things will take its play out and things will go back the way they were in the end. When it’s all over, people will eventually find out what you did and your reputation will go bad and back fire on you, do you really want that?
On the other hand the other person may end up getting hurt so badly that they end up lonely and bullied. People may not want to have anything to do with them. The person may end up committing suicide because of how badly they are being treated.
To me when you leave this world the only two thing people will ever remember you for is if you had a good reputation and if you kept your word. When a person takes that a way and you die labeled as a bad person, it didn’t help them in any way but it did make life harder for you. People don’t realize what gossiping can do to a person. I’ve been hurt badly by rumors before and it didn’t help the other person, but I didn’t want to show my face at school again until it was over. A reputation can be what makes people want to be your friend or stay away from you. If hurting someone’s reputation doesn’t help you very much and if it doesn’t help the other person why do we do it in the first place?

Well let me first start off saying good format, choice of words, and good flowing through it. You did great Megan good job. I look forward to reading more of your work. I like how you say "When you talk bad about a person it doesn't help you in anyway..." this is true. You might look good for a little bit but it will come back and bite you. Your entry has a lot of truths in it. So good job and keep it up.
