Telling is a positive act with the intention of protecting oneself or someone else from psychological harm. Tattling is a negative act to get more attention to get the focus away from themselves, at times it is an idle act to bring trouble to someone because you are angry with them.
Thanks for sharing this question. This trait is very old.

Whatever the ethics of any person (male or female) they must formulate speech in accordance with their interest in making others listening with the insistence that there be similar to the possession of that speech to their personalities
Partially yes. Even people from developed countries like USA, UK also migrating. But the number is less.
From Developing and less developed countries people migrate to get better job, salary, faculties, quality of life, recognition and safety. Money, safety and quality of life is the main reason for the brain drain.
Society is composed of associative and dissociative - minded people. First tells, later tattles.
I agree with your understanding of telling and tattling. With youth I think it also stems from the different definitions of danger and revenge. Sometimes it is a way of getting someone else in trouble because you don't know how to change the situation. For example, a kid who is wresting another finds it fun but the kid being wrestled sees this as a worrisome matter and needs to change the situation but doesn't know how. So they fight back or they tell someone in fear of danger for themselves. This could be parenting, sibling, or other environmental differences. Sometimes a child will see something they want and go about manipulative means to get it. Another child may see this and call them out getting them in trouble whether for revenge or danger reasons. I think this is why many kids are confused by the difference. They know something is wrong or they don't like the outcome whether for themselves or for another. There is also the name calling that comes afterwards such as wimp, brown-noser, snitch, tattle-teller, bully, etc. It is a consistent cycle that is easily observed between siblings.

In Russian there is a difference between "Telling" and "Tattling".
Tattling is a negative act.
And, maybe, this is not a negative act at all, but empty, meaningless chatter, which fills the life of most people.
