Drama, it’s a part of every day life in high school and sometimes in college as well. Truthfully, America’s teenagers are addicted to drama, this is evident in the fact that most teenage relationships do not last longer than a few months, if that. And relationships aren’t the only thing hit hard, personal relationships with friends, enemies, teachers, and the people around you is a great example to the drama that goes on in a modern-day high school.
If you are in high school, or think back to the years that you were in high school, how many times did you or one of your friends complain to you about various parts of life that, on reflection, don’t really seem as important. For an example, a friend of mine got into a fight with her boyfriend and all I heard about was how “pigheaded and stupid” he was, shortly after they broke up. The reason for the fight? The boy had to work and couldn’t go to one of the 30 million school dances.
Then there were friends that told me things like “I’m going to drop out, my Chemistry class is too hard, I’m just stupid and will never amount to anything.” Wow, emo attitude there. There are a lot of people that would ditch classes or consider dropping out, because the class is too hard, instead of looking at tutors and help. The main reason? They got attention. Attention attention attention.
Why do most people leave their boyfriend/girlfriend during the high school area? “Because he/she doesn’t give me enough attention. He/she is not supportive enough,” or “he/she is not focused on me.”
Its school, you’ve been dating for two months. He/she has five reports, a job, and forty minutes of homework to do tonight, not to mention babysitting the brat brother and chores. When he/she finally has social time, he/she has to balance it between friends and their significant other and sleep. Big news: they cannot spend every moment with you, but that doesn’t mean they are avoiding you or do not love you.
People who continually go through relationship dramas, friend dramas, homework dramas, those kind of things, are addicted to it. It is interesting to them and relieves boredom, they become the star of their own little soap opera and don’t even realize they are doing it. Drama, drama, drama, oh my God, a down period, drama, drama, drama. If there is no drama, they grow restless and feel stressed, because their minds are bored without the constant stream of drama flowing into them. Its much the same as some ADD kids seeking conflict to keep their minds engaged, unless there is drama, there is no life in the moment.
Now, this isn’t true for everyone, but it is for many, and to me at least, it is annoying to the extreme. How bout anyone else? Is anyone else annoyed by constant drama?
Oh my gosh, you've just summed up everything that's been getting on my nerves lately. I thought that entering my senior year would magically eliminate the usual small-town drama, but I was way wrong. If anything, there's more drama.
What would people do if they couldn't fight? None of it seems warranted, and no one wants to admit that they're actually in a conflict. I've sat through many a lunch period with my friends absolutely BASHING a specific person and then talking and joking with her the next period. It's awful.
Some people absolutely cannot handle being in a relationship in high school because they are too dependant on others for their happiness. Some people outgrow this, and some remain clingy and pushy and obnoxious all throughout their lives. That gets old really quickly, but some people will never learn. High school was pretty dramatic in many ways that were trivial, but I can say I went through a lot during high school that was truly dramatic and more than many adults deal with. I know I am not the only one with situations like these either. Being a teenager is difficult, and the real problems of people's lives seem to get mixed in the jumble of typical high school drama.
Yeah, I know. I've had my fair share of actual drama in high school. My father died, I went through a depression, almost committed suicide and some other things. What is annoying though is the trivial drama, which certainly helps the real drama along, and not in a possitive way. It is just so....I suppose I could say superficial. Most of the problems alot of teenagers have arn't really as bad as they make it out to be.
I'm not a nonconformist, because nonconformists conform to nonconformity.
