High School Drama Pt. 1

High school drama is so petty. I used to be a part of all of it, and at the time I thought of my issues as being top priority. But now that I'm on the outside looking in, it's petty and irritating.

I guess it's really not my place because I am so far out of the loop lately, and I don't exactly know what's going on play by play, but honestly? We're in high school, aren't we supposed to be at that point where we're beginning to mature? It's almost as if everyone is aging backwards.

People have problems figuring out their priorities in life, we can't get our acts straight, and we all care way too much. So much so that we are beginning to lose sight of what our priorities are, we are beginning to lose sight of what "straight acts" are, and we are beginning to lose people and issues in which we should care much more for. We have become a generation of neglegence and immaturity. One that must quickly find its path back to adulthood and maturity, or soon the world might actually go further to hell than it has already gone.

Recently, friends of mine have drawn this line in their "friendship." There is no longer that peachy atmosphere when I'm with them, we are no longer a group of happy bantering friends. Instead, we are a group of people divided three ways: the "right," the "wrong," and the "undecided." If you're in one half of the group, you automatically think you're in the right. If you're in the other half of the group, you think the opposing group is automatically wrong. And then of course, there is the third party group, the ones that refuse to take sides, but instead get pulled here and there, to and fro, the ones who thought by not chosing a side, life would be easier.

The feud was built up of insanely immature issues that ranged from gossip to being two-faced. What people seem to forget though, is that we can forget and ignore. One of the biggest problems in this "feud" is the fact that neither party has the will enough to turn their cheeks and walk away. If one party was to realize how immature the issue truly was, apologize, and then move on, there would be no issue. But instead, both sides refuse to talk to each other, try to make amends, and instead they go about bad mouthing each other. If something like this would actually help, I would be silenced, not another would would be spoken. But nothing is solved. No issues are resolved, and instead this stolstice drags on. Each party remains adamant and does nothing. Each day drags on, and instead of inching towards a resolution, both parties remain stubborn and badmouth each other.

The fingers are constantly pointed, "He said this to me about this and this," or "She said this about you and then said this, she's such a bitch." Honestly? We're supposed to be approaching adulthood. That means we're supposed to be growing up, we're supposed to be mastering the art of conflict resolution! What is happening!


UGH.
ANYHOW, I have an essay to write. I shall finish this rant later.
