ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Backbiting

Okay kiddo, so imagine you and another friend are playing together but when that friend isn't around, you start saying mean things about them to someone else. That's called backbiting.

It's not nice to say mean things about someone behind their back because it can hurt their feelings and damage your friendship. It's important to be kind and show respect to others even when they're not around. Remember, treat others how you want to be treated!
