Have you ever felt like you're the messenger between two of your friends, and you're stuck in the middle with no way of getting out? Something similar has been happening to me lately with some certain friends of mine. They had a really pointless fight and I guess they're not friends anymore. At first, I was like, "Pshh, this isn't my problem. They can work it out." But then I really felt involved when my friend whispered something to me about my other friend when she was right in front of us. Then later she asked me what my friend whispered to me. That's when I felt like the messenger. I felt like I was a backstabber and a liar, so I didn't tell her.
It's these things that every middle school teenager gets caught up in. Useless drama and gossip. I try not to get caught up with these things, but somehow I get caught up in it. Somehow. But I have myself to blame for that. Sometimes we get into drama just because there's nothing else to make a fuss about. We middle schoolers need to always be making a fuss about something. That's not meant to be an insult, but it's merely human nature. Sometimes we don't like all the drama in our lives, but sometimes we just have to deal.
I mean, there are ways to get rid of some drama in your life besides ignoring everything that goes on in your school completely. When a friend tells you about something that's happened to him/her, just say, "Oh, that's too bad. I hope you guys can work it out", instead of, "Oh my gosh, how can I help? Do you want me to say something?". Because just a few words can get you involved in a fight that you weren't even part of in the first place.
I'm not saying you shouldn't help your best friends with their problems, just don't get so involved that you're eventually taking a side, because that's when it can get bad.
I really hope everyone's takes my advice into their thinking, because it might help you as it helped me get rid of drama in my life.
