The main issue is that people from adults to kids alike can never get along and be there real self without thinking about what they might say to their parents or what they might think of them self and spread out to others. You end up being a fake person to everyone but your immediate family. Although gossiping works for its purpose, it unleashes a lot very negative implications.

I've found that people in our desi culture do not accept themselves as they are. There is always the feeling that they're not good enough. Thus, resorting to gossiping. This is a much deeper problem than it appears in our culture. It starts from a very young age. "What're they going to say?", "What are people going to say?" is imbedded into kids' minds even before they can walk around. That leads to lack of self-respect, lack of self-love and so gossiping is one way to make oneself feel better. And it works though! :-) At least for that moment. That’s a good point.
