girl drama in high school
Unfortunately, girl drama is a common experience for young girls and woman. I think the main reason you have drama, is because you allow it to happen. I feel like girl drama would never even exist if girls would respect each other but, we don't. We are constantly comparing and competing with each other which I think it's a big reason why drama happens.
When in high school, dealing with drama can be hard and seem impossible but, I believe drama is an important part of life. You do learn a lot from these drama situations and it prepares you for the real world.
On the other hand, I think there are ways to decrease the amount of drama you are involved in but, it's never fully avoidable. There will always be people who like the attention that creating drama brings.
Try to stay out of drama by staying positive, trusting friendships, and not worrying about others’ opinions. Make sure you stay true to yourself and do what’s right for you!
Here are some tips of how I wish I could have dealt with girl drama when I was in high school:
Stand up for yourself
Don't be afraid to discuss drama, be clear and straightforward with everyone involved. Explain your feelings about the rumors or others talking behind your back.
Be confident
Drama queens are less likely to mess with you if you are confident in yourself.
Talk about the situation with the person creating the drama
You can approach the drama-spreader and kindly ask if you can talk about the rumors, and try to make them realize that creating drama is hurtful and useless.
Reconsider any unhealthy friendships
Friends who make you feel stressed or unhappy more than they make you feel positive aren't good friends for you. Figure out who are your true friends and those who only like to gossip.
Spend less time with dramatic people
You are in control of how much time you spend with each of your friends. If one of your friend's dramatic, you can choose to spend less time with her or choose a specific activity to do so, less time for her to gossip.
Walk away from the friendship, if it is for the best
If the person creating or encouraging drama doesn't want to apologize or change after discussing the situation, they probably aren’t a friend you want to have at all. You have the right to choose your friends.
Treat people the same way you want to be treated
You are less likely to attract dramatic people into your life if you are nice and respectful.
Do your things
Stay focused on your schoolwork and after-school activities, rather than your friends’ personal lives.
Be careful of what you say and who you say it to
It's easy for word to spread through school, leave private or personal conversations for your most trusted friends and talk about it home.
Apologize for any drama you may have contributed to
If in any way you have played a role in a drama situation, apologize to either the individual or group involved.
Create your own opinion
When you get to know someone, create your own opinion about them. Never let a rumour change what you think of someone cause it might not be true.
DON'T BE A DRAMA QUEEN & STAY AWAY FROM THEM
If you need any help with a specific drama situation, you can always message me. I'd be happy to help!
