Drama

If you are a girl who has been through (or is in) Middle School you know what drama is. "Well, she said . . . and he said . . ." Gossip. Rumours. Some people try and start rumours (to be the center of attention). Others try and stop the rumours, because they know how hurtful they can be and how wrong they are. If a person is not there to defend themselves, don't talk about them. "Fire and swords are slow engines of destruction, compared to the tonge of a Gossip," (Richard Steele). "Gossip is called gossip, because it's not always the truth," (Justin Timberlake). Even though it might be hard to be the person who stops the gossip, it is the right thing to do. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (the movie), Albus Dumbledore said to Harry, "soon we will have to choose between what is right, and what is easy." I've also read that "what is right is not always popular, what is popular is not always right." One way to avoid drama is to hang out around people who don't like it either. Two of my best friends love our theatre class, but steer clear of the drama that goes on in our class.
