It Starts with You Stopping

Ever walk down the hall in high school and just hear people talking about another person? It gets annoying. I hate school drama and if you’re anything like me you’re like any other high school student ,but it seems that even if you say that you’re either involved in school drama or caused the school drama. I want to state my thoughts and a couple of other people’s thoughts on this. I thought asking people of all positions in school, teacher student, and principal would help show and tell the way everyone views school drama.

To me school drama is a waste of time. There’s no point. For example, “your eye brow is ugly.” Who cares what they think or say it’s yours and I bet tons of others would love to have your brows. Arguing over this will only cause stress and make you miserable. Guess what? You won’t ever see these people again! If you’re the cause of drama you’re making this school or any other school more stressful then it has to be. Drama won’t make you happy; drama won’t make you a better person. Drama will only make you miserable. The drama is probably over something stupid or irrelevant anyways.

Mr. Stone says he has to get involved with student’s drama at least 2 or 3 times a day and 95% is female related. Drama typically starts right after the weekend and is starts from technology. Girls and boys like to hide behind their phones and talk about each other. They do it behind screens so they don’t get interrupted or scared; they do it behind screens so they can get it out and say what they need to. If we were to take away phones, crush them, burn them, and then dig a hole and bury them, then school drama almost wouldn’t exist. Now obviously it won’t stop fully because rumors will start and other things will happen, but it wouldn’t be as much drama happening.

I ask Tiffany Smith about her thoughts and she tells me drama is started over person A calling person B out and/or confronting person B over something that was said to person A. She says “drama is dumb” and “there’s just too many fakes in this world”.

I then asked Mrs.Smith and she told me that she hated school drama as a teen, she avoided it as much as possible and under any circumstance she would not get involved. As a teacher, however, she helps teens out with their school drama. “Students need to realize in the long run it’s not that important.” Realizing that will prevent school drama. She tells students to stop and think about if it’s really that important; is this going to make me happier person? Mrs.Smith loves helping teens, but she rather there be no drama.

The final person I asked is a anonymous source. The source stated “On school drama I always kept everything to myself.” If he talked about someone they would only talk about them to one of their closest friends. To prevent school drama “you should know when to walk away” and “what not to do in a bad situation” said the source. No one came to this person for drama help because he didn’t like to be involved. “It’s always good to know and see everything that’s happening, but to just keep it to yourself and not tell a soul.”

Think of a world without drama; think of how much better the world would be. Next time drama starts stop and walk away; stop and don’t continue the drama that is happening. Drama is not everything,and it’s not gunna stop the world from spinning. Stoping drama with make the world better and happier. It starts with you stoping.
