Drama is an extremely common occurance among preteens and teenagers these days. It's found all over the place, but primarily in middle schools, Jr Highs, and high schools. It's so incredibly annoying, in my opinion, but some people thrive off of it. Anyone know what the personal gain is to the drama of early (and even late) teenage years? I understand gossip and how [i]that[/i] can increase people's self esteem. By downsizing someone else, you're building yourself up to seem bigger and better, and you feel a heck of a lot better about your status. At least for a little bit. After awhile the guilt starts eating at you though, and a lot of people just ignore it until it soon becomes a habit. Gossip is really a quite addicting habit and to so many people, is the basis of conversation during the day. We've all done it, and although it may not feel wrong, it definately is. Anywho, to get some discussion going.. does anyone have ideas as to how to avoid drama and gossip? Or if you're surrounded by it, how to change that?

Man there was a lot of drama, picture this in your head, i go to a small school of less the 65 people so try to imagine *10 GIRLS *1 CUTE GUY *5 GIRLS WHO LOVE HIM *A NEW FIGHT EVERY DAY There is so much drama because of this 1 guy, all the girls were going crazy, Gossip flying everywhere.It was very hard to avoid, I ended up having to beg God for forgiveness for gossiping, you won't beleive how horrible it was, I had to beg all of the other girls for forgiveness too after gossiping about them, (I hurt a lot of them very bad) but the story ends good, we all became BEST friends. It was just horrible, I am doing a study on gossip write now, if any one can help me with the study by listing some scripture or something that would be great. Thanx!!!:laugh:

Thanx!!!:laugh:[/quote] That's awesome:) Here's a web page I found that might help. It's got a bajillion verses about gossiping and how to treat your friends and stuff. I don't understand how some people don't think the bible isn't relevant today. [url]http://www.broadcaster.org.uk/section2/transcript/words.htm[/url] Oh, and thanks for your input guys:) Keep it up! I personally don't struggle with gossip as much as I used to, but I figured it'd be a good topic for everyone to read. We all do struggle with it at one point or another, even though we may be at various levels of overcoming it.

your kidding me!!! they have food fights! i have always wanted to have one (someday me and my friends are gonna)
