How do I stop the drama?


 

Check these out, too...

  • Spring clean your attitude
  • What to do if you think a friend needs help
  • All I want is some privacy
  • Why do people set me up with guys I don't like?
  • How can I turn my attitude around?
I don't know how to deal with drama. I was the victim in sixth grade, but this year I’m either put in the middle or not sure if I’m the one causing it.

 

I get comments like, "Wow, I can't believe you hurt her feelings." I feel really bad and I have said sorry many times, but it doesn't seem to change anything.

 

There’s always going to be drama, and it’s a process to learn how to deal with it and avoid it. When drama is unavoidable, it’s important not to get caught up in it. If the people around you are feuding, be the peaceful one who encourages everyone else to listen and calm down.

 

If you can’t seem to figure out what to say when you’re put in the middle of a sticky sitch, let your friends know that you feel stuck and wish they wouldn’t put you in that position.

 

But if you’re actually starting the drama, it’s time to take a step back. You have good intentions and don’t want to create bad feelings among your friends, so take a min to think about when and why those situations arise. In the future, try to spot those situations ahead of time and think before you speak or act.

 

Treat your friends with sensitivity—the way you would want to be treated. We each have different sensitivities, so try to think about where your friends are coming from and what upsets them. Does one friend have weight issues? Does another feel insecure about guys? Think about what topics are touchy and steer clear or speak respectfully.

Okay so Me & my best friend have been BEST friends for 7 years! & in 6th grade we had to split into sePerate schools, we are still BEST friends but, when she made a new friend, I wasn't jealous but her new friend was Of me & she has been messing with our brains trying to split us uP or making her the 3rd best friend which we don't want! Idk what to do, I don't know her that well I've just met her at walmart & a football game & texted her like twice.

 

Hey girlie, you should talk to your best friend and tell her how you fell

MOD!
So I have this friend, and I've known her since I was 6 months old. I am an only child and so she's basically like my sister, lately since we started middle school she's been making some bad choices,I, and some of my other friends, don't approve of this, she's been hanging out with the wrong people and doing this that a few years ago I would have never even dreamed of her doing, she's really disappointing me and to watch her do this to herself really hurts me,'I've tried to just back away and forget about it but I can't. I'm so close to her theres absolutely no way I can just Forget about her. What should I do?!?!?!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD after me and this boy both told each other we liked each other, my bestie found out and made it super awkward, i kinda liked him at that time! now he is talking to this one girl and i am super jealous, what should i do. im super mad, and i think hes geting mad at me now.

 

Hey girlie. Don't get mad! He will think you are a little crazy. Just act cool and treat him like a friend--then who knows that will happen. Give it time. Maybe find a new guy to hang with, too.
