once they start talking about someone, walk away. They're your friends, but unless you want no friends in the future, you should stop talking about other people. How would you like them talking about you?

I know this is weird...but maybe write something on your hand that will somehow remind you to not talk behind other's backs. When people start talking about other people, point out good things about them. Just say, "I think she's nice!", or "Actually,she looks pretty today". Stuff like that. Also, when your friends start ripping people up say "that's really mean!".

Kind of hypocrital I'd say. Well, I guess the best way to stop it is to just.. stop it. Talk about yourselves more, or other things.

Me and my friend had this problem and it wasn't really talking about everyone just about each other...some of my other friends don't like her very much and they always talk about her behind her back to me and I used to do it too...when they do that now i just kinda nod my head a little but dont say anything and try to change the subject.

First you and your friends should talk about how its bad and what you think about it, why you think you do it, and how you could stop...just brainstorm. if you already have a solution try it out, but my idea is that you guys should just think about what your gonna say and how you think it'll come out before you say it. that way it will prevent you guys from saying a lot of mean stuff. if you get into it too much and realize youre talking about people, change the subject!

every time you start talking bad about someone try to change the subject.
and with your friends, tell them you no longer feel good talking behind people's backs. if they're good friends, they would listen to what you have to say.

sbloemeke answered Tuesday October 4 2005, 12:59 pm:
To stop yourself, get the people you complain to to help you. Like, you may want to go to them and say something like "If I ever talk badly about anyone, please slap me to wake me up." Eventually, you will associate talking badly about someone with pain, mental AND physical, and will stop.
Suggest this to your friends as well.
I'm not being sarcastic here at all.
