In middle school I learned how to solve for the hypotenuse and identify properties of an atom, but the most enduring skill I picked up was how to gossip. Eighth grade in particular was consumed by chatter and rumors — my classmates and I had spent nine years together, witnessing one another’s staggered entrances into…
