Are your Friends Drama Queens?

Poor sweetie. You're getting the first taste of how cruel girls can be, when they get in a " pack". Most of us have had this happen.

I don't know if it will help, but knowing that this is part of life, and these people who are hurting you today will likely not be important to you at all in just a few short years, might at least give you some perspective. Whenever I was in a painful situation in my younger years, I would tell myself this will not last. This is only for a limited time.

And guess what? I was right. You can get through anything if you just hang in there till the "hot" emotions wear off.

Knowing that this is a phase and it will pass. As for the situation itself: In my experience, there is usually a ring leader, or a button pusher. Meaning a person who starts it all.

Usually in a joking manner, because that is more acceptable than being outright cruel. But they have a weird and mean gift of getting others to go along with it. Once I identified the button pusher, I made sure to never let myself be in a situation like that again with that person.

I also learned a valuable lesson about never allowing myself to be sucked into that kind of group thinking and behaving, and never ganging up on somebody else even in a so-called joking way. This in turn led me to really exhibit good behavior toward people and eventually have true friends. Who knew I could always be trusted.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
