@ YOU'RE THE WEAKEST LINK

You're like a watering can with extra holes. Everything goes out as soon as it gets in. Gossip can be entertaining and it can make you popular but for the wrong reasons. Sooner or later, you've sunk all your friendships by having such a reputation. "There are rules of friendships and keeping confidences is one of them," says Florence Isaacs, author of Toxic Friends, True Friends (Willam Morrow, 1999). Chronic gossiping shows that you can't be trusted with sensitive information. Draw the line between harmless chat and careless blab. Stop before you seriously damage your relationship with your friends and family. Ask yourself the next time you have au urge to spill: what would you do if it was you they were gossiping about? Just remember that what comes around goes around.

$ DIVINE SECRET KEEPER

You give new meaning to the word 'vault'. Once info goes in, it's never coming out! Before you throw away the secret's keys, bear in mind that keeping secrets can be a weighty burden sometimes. Of all people, you would know that it's a huge responsibility.
If it's causing you sleepless nights, anxiety attacks and nervous breakdowns, it's time to consider a different career. Choose to know secrets on a need-to-know basis. This way, someone else's problem doesn't become your problem. Or else, share the problem with a trusted adult. You're not betraying your friend. You could be helping her by offering a different (and more mature) solution to her problem.

# CAREFREE CONFIDANTE

You have the ability to know when to tell & when not to tell. How you do it is almost an intricate art form! Keeping secrets is the ability to balance gossip and chatter. You treat people lives the way you wan yours to be treated - with respect. It pays to be able to put yourself in someone else's shoes because you're sensitive (or smart) to know that it's crummy to be betrayed. Keep up the good work! Soon, people will be asking you how they can separete the fluff form the tough.
