School drama can be a bit hectic and even overbearing at times. Some people don’t have a filter and say pretty excruciating things. It’s very hard sometimes not to acknowledge them and just walk away. At times we feel as though we should fight back. Truth is, we’re only wasting our breath.
Drama is very hard to contain. Often people will shut it down and someone will just find another way to contact you. The most one can do to stay out of drama is to honestly just not associate with anyone who may have intentions on starting something. Gossip is the root of all drama, and by avoiding it,one may steer clear of a lot of unnecessary drama. It’s ok to socialize with others but don’t try to enter yourself into a conversation you don’t want to have. For instance, say we’re in the bathroom at school and we overhear someone talking about another person. So of course with this generation you walk over to listen in. This is an example of putting oneself into a conversation one does not want to be apart of.
Focus on oneself, not what is going on around us. If we focus on ourselves, we won’t even notice the drama. Don’t get involved. It’s that simple. And if someone one we don’t want to talk to texts us or calls us about drama, don’t respond.
If we know it’s out of our control, then let it be… Don’t ever stress about something that is out of our control. Stress leads to deeper internal thoughts. More specifically, depressing thoughts, or thoughts that could stress onto a certain extent. Get into a certain mindset that allows one to just simply not care what is out of one’s control. Speaking from a teenager with a lot of past drama, it really helps to just say “it is what it is,” and walk off.

Going to Mooreville is hard just like any other school. It’s extremely stressful and you give amazing advice on how to let it go or just simply ignore it. Once you get out of drama it seems like you get right back into another one, it’s depressing like you said. Constantly thinking about what other people say is exhausting and depressing.
This blog has so much truth behind it. Drama is something that we all struggle with, it doesn’t matter if it’s our name in the drama or if we are the ones spreading it. Drama is something that we can all get caught up in, not even meaning to, so much stuff goes down in our day and age, we all need to stop “wasting our breath.”
