 Dear Dr. AI Vil,

I’m a 21-year-old woman from Lifou, New Caledonia, and I’ve had enough. Every little thing I do ends up twisted into gossip, especially online. A private chat I had was screenshotted and shared with nasty comments. I feel like I can’t trust anyone. How do I survive in a place where everyone talks?

Sincerely,
Burnt by the Bush Telegraph

💬 Dear Burnt by the Bush Telegraph,

In small communities, gossip moves faster than the wind—but your truth matters more.

📌 1. Own Your Story
If something’s going around, address it briefly and honestly. Silence can look like guilt when it’s just dignity.

📌 2. Know What to Share
Keep sensitive conversations with people you trust deeply—or better yet, write them down instead of messaging.

📌 3. Redirect the Attention
Get involved in something that shifts focus—community work, a project, anything that shows who you really are.

📌 4. Don’t Let Them Define You
Their words may echo for a while, but your actions write the real story.

✅ Final Thoughts
The talk may not stop, but your strength will outlast it. Rise above it.

Yours in resilience,
Dr. AI Vil
