There will always be people like that anywhere and everywhere. We can "try" correcting such character by telling them with their actions or let them understand what they're doing, but we have to be very careful with our words especially if that person is older than us.
I think one thing that we can do as Christians is simply don't believe easily if we heard something negative just because these certain people say so. If these people would say bad things to others and nobody would believe it, then no harm will be done.
The problem only starts when people started to judge others and the people around them agreed with them easily or supports them.
I hope I made sense.

Luke 6:42 - "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye."
There is nothing wrong with rebuke/corrections as long you are not a hypocrite and also there is wisdom in it.
Proverbs 17:10 - "A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool."
Proverbs 27:5 - "Better is open rebuke than hidden love."
When you rebuke, you do it out of love. That is the best way for corrections.
