High-School Drama
Drama is obviously an integral part of the high school experience. However, its role changes as your high school career progresses, for better or worse. For the most part, drama plays a much less frequent role. The middle school squabbles are out; call it maturity, or maybe we just have too much on our plates to busy ourselves with perpetual bickering. There is a catch of course. When drama strikes, it comes in the terrifying form of issues with life-long implications that can hit you with the force of a Mack truck. Waiting on the curb in handcuffs for your parents to pick you up, a bad relationship, and drugs and alcohol can make anyone wish that arguing over who-told-who-what was the highest of their concerns. Not that any of that has happened to me, of course.

High school drama is way more intense than middle school drama because there is more peer pressure to have sex, do drugs, and do illegal things. Also, it becomes harder to fit in, or make friends because everyone’s changing so much, and people grow so much apart. Those changes most of the time push people towards groups that can get them into deep trouble, with the law and with the school. And I believe that high school can push us into these things, and its our job to stay away from it all, and stay safe.

High School drama is more drama than middle school because you get more peer pressure to smoke and drink. Also because lots of rumors go around and it could mess up your reputation and people start to talk about you and pass it on to others. People decide to do things that they should not be doing because they want to fit in with the group they are in and they end up in jail. I think people should make their own decisions on what they want to do and not let others make it for them.
