"1 Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? 2 He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart 3 and has no slander on his tongue..." -Psalm 15:1-3a
Trashing other people makes us feel good. For some reason, we enjoy putting other people down in order to lift ourselves up. That's why we make fun of people, points out their faults, and spread rumors and gossip. The truth is, though, that is directly against what God has called for us to do.
A person that talks bad tells more about that person than the person they are dissing. Ask God to give you a heart that isn't bitter and feels the need to put others down.
This thought is paraphrased from Revolution: The Bible for Teen Guys.
