Here, in my latest attempt to help others and myself grow the fuck up, i'll post my latest thought about drama.
These thoughts are significantly influenced by the book The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus, I actually went ahead and just stole his metaphor.
Drama can be related easily to the myth of the Greek mortal named Sisyphus. Sisyphus decieved the gods and cheated death so he was banished to the darkest parts of the Greek underworld (Hades), doomed to roll a rock up a hill only to have it roll back down every time he got to the top.
I think this pretty well relates to drama because drama itself is completely absurd. I pose to you this question: Can you remember something "drama"-ish that happened in your life that has no bearing on your life today? If so, I think this means that either you need to grow the fuck up or you're a person that needs to stop dwelling on the past and seek professional psychiatric aide.
In any case, I find myself having kind of accepted this fate about drama. Trying to solve drama is like the myth of Sisyphus. It is entirely futile and teenagers do it throughout their existance. Yet the difference with me is that I simply don't give a shit any more. While I still may be rolling a rock up a hill, I'm well aware of the fact that no matter what I do, the rock is going to roll back to the bottom of the hill when I get close to achieving my goal. When you can simply sit back and say that no matter what you do, you simply can't beat drama, you've already won.
When you can simply realize that drama is uncureable and that you're going to fail anyways, you start to question if you're really failing or a cure is simply impossible. I think we all need to realize that people will always be dramatic, and no matter what we do we will always find ourselves rolling a rock up that hill. So what can we do to stop this from happening? Just accept that you will never be able to cure selfish, dramatic people and just move on with the better part of our existence, High School.

Ok, first of all, I AM NOT CREEPY. If I'm creepy, then you are a "nice guy".
Sorry for the reference to the past, I can't help it. Anyway...the only cure to drama is to channel it into performing in a musical! WOOO! Like you have to do next year. Seriously. It is way more fun than it seems. I have to tell you about all the backstage antics...like the sex-capades...did I say that out loud? No, whew, I only typed it. AND I still can't beleive you saw the sound of music 5 times. 5 TIMES!!! You gotta tell me all the details you noticed. I want to know.
Hell, what didn't I notice.
Well...if you're talking about being mature and dealing with your problems, then I agree. Dwelling in the past is neither productive nor healthy.
However...if you're saying that every teenager should be an emotionless rock, I disagree. This "drama" is a part of every young person's life experiences. Love...anger...deceit...these types of conflicts are necessary to being fully human. A person, whether the outcome of these conflicts is good or bad, enriches from these overly played "dramas." One shouldn't avoid these situations, but once they have blown over, he/she should just forget about it and use the obtained knowledge to better his/herself in the future. It may hurt at the time (assuming the outcome to be negative in this particular situation), but the person will find that it'll get easier as time goes on.
I'm pretty sure that wasn't what you meant any way Heals, and that post wasn't meant to be aimed towards any one in particular, btw. I'm just voicing my views about life, because occasionally I do that.
This has been Anthony F. Maceri, being one wise motherfucker.
Hahahaha oh shut up tony, it's highschool, remember? nothing should be taken seriously. I pity the fool who takes the high seriously.
