Why are we teenagers ALWAYS caught up with the very petty little dramas of high school life?

Question

Will it ever end?! You wish! I'm glad that next year is our senior year, and it's goodbye drama!

Answer 1

well, psychologically, causing drama helps to gain attention for their low self image problems. they are struggling to find themselves, and lash out with drama because that is a way to handle things. most of it occurs from immaturity. they have no real issues, so they overreact on something childish because they lack experience  in life.

biologically there is a chemical imbalance in their hormones. causing drama relieves stress for that time being, and the endorphins help calm them down, until john decides to stand up Jane and not tell her he went out with Jesse, then more drama will happen, and the process repeats itself. some stop to think about why they are spazzing, properly handle the situation, and move on.

it also has  a LOT to do with maturity.

there will be drama everywhere, but once a person betters themself, grows up, the drama will dissapear. unfortunately there are TONS of people who refuse to grow up, or just never grow up, and so the childish drama commences.

Answer 2

It will eventually go away, but not right away. The college I went to was small and the petty little dramas were still around. But now, they're not so much. Don't associate yourself with people who cause the drama...that's the hard part, though. But also, besides the brain not being fully developed, teenagers generally don't have too much to worry about- finances, working 40+ hours/wk, stress, etc...so they have more time to be petty. It will pretty much always be around, just don't let yourself be a part of it.

Answer 3

b/c they have no real dramas in their lifes.

Answer 4

we've got no full-time job or bills, so life is pretty boring without drama

Answer 7

You haven't woken up yet and realized that you have better things to do.  It takes longer with some people, but it'll happen eventually.  You'll realize that you don't really care about the petty little dramas, and you'll start to associate with people who, like you, have moved past that stage in their lives.

Answer 8

lol , good luck!

petty little dramas will never end! because if you got new job and i am telling you , it will come to you again.

if you pick the right people , then you don't have to worry about it.

but i really do know what you mean.
