Answer:

To me, fake news is something that is being told to you from a resource, of which you are coming to believe is unreliable. It is something that has come back to you, that is incorrect. Something you think is absurd, and completely blown out of proportion. Everytime a story gets told, and another person tells it, it changes. For example, say Mya told Neisha that Tay was a bully in the past. (whether it is true or not is up to you.) And, although Mya and Neisha promised to keep it between them, Neisha told Lisa, and obviously, Neisha did not tell the story in the same exact words Mya did. Whether it was intentionally or not. Then Brook was told, and she decided she was gonna tell Biola. Biola took it upon herself to tell Neisha, wanting all of the chaos to end. Once it all came back to Tay, the whole story was jumbled up into what the girls wanted it to be.
