Ok, I don't usually post meaningless things, but I'm a little upset right now. I have a question for those of you who have been out of school for awhile, does the drama ever end?
The reason I'm asking is that I use to be best friends with a group of people, but I realized that they had no future ahead of them and that they may drag me down, so I stoped talking to them. There was a small fight, but it was nothing I didn't get over. Well, the other day I got a text from an unfamiler number calling me all kinds of nasty names, so I instictivly knew who it was from. The next day, I got starting getting them from a number I know, my ex best friend. So today I got fed up with it and I sent a message via myspace to this guy that hangs out with both parties involved and asked him to stop it.. You want to know what he does? Blames me and backs them up! I thought when we graduated we'd leave all this stupid petty drama in high school, guess not.

Well if it involves girls they can be the cattiest and claws show really easy. The only way to solve that is hang with the guys. They don't steal your cloths or your boyfriends, (unless they are gay ;) ) and even in college it seems like some people act like they are back in kindergarten and even some of my kindergarten kids don't act like that. hehe
It will blow over just don't bite that is what they want from you.
Good luck
Just because one grows older, doesn't mean one matures. I think for you to realize that this group may jepardize your future, you may be more mature than them. Another factor concerning their behaviour may have been what the fight was about and how you handled amputating these people from your life. Was is crude or delicate? Perception is key, you have yours, but theirs may differ.

The fight was mildly stupid, but well founded. This girl promised to help me and my family out with an event we put on for kids every year at the campground we stay at. Two days before she said she was comming and for me to find her a costume to wear.. the day of she decided to hang out with her boyfriend all weekend instead. I was mad, but I wasn't going to disown her.. until I found out that she made the plans with her guy 2 weeks in advance and just didn't want to tell me till the day of! She did mean stuff like that all the time.

A guy is the problem here.. he is her friend and passes on all the lies and stuff she tells. Thats what I get for dating trailer trash.. excuse me for my language, i know its not nice, but its very true and I'm a tad pissed off right now. He's trying to turn me against a close friend of mine.

I'd love to tell you the drama lessens, but it doesn't. On the upside, you'll find it much easier to read the signs earlier and take evasive action. Cut those people out of your life hard and fast....and don't look back. You'll be happier on a daily basis, and in the end, they'll self destruct.
Just remember...They only have as much power as you choose to give them.

The drama really does lessen after a while.
Situations change, jobs change, where you live changes, friends change. Once you begin working as a nurse you will make new friends and what the old ones think won't matter as much.
You will keep some friends over the years and drop others. I have friends I first met in kindergarten in 1947. We are still friends almost 60 years later. I have other people I went to high school and college with that I wouldn't know if I bumped into them. There are people from work I am still close friends with, even to the point of going to Mexico and the Bahamas with them and other people from work who's names I can hardly remember.
Life is a series of changes. Some people will remain your friends and some won't.
If you don't respond to what they say they will soon tire of saying it. Trying to get a rise out of someone stops being fun if they don't take the bait.

Everything is calming down now, thank goodness. Turns out that the whole thing was over some myspace blogs I wrote a few months back, they wanted them taken down. I refused, but so far I havn't heard back from any of them.. so I guess that means they are done trying :)

Drama is the spice. It also keeps plenty of conversations alive. Think of how dull things would be without drama in your life!

I don't know if this applies to you, student nurse, but drama often happens to people who unwittingly invite it.

***Sigh*** truer words were never spoken. I term it emotional masterbation... and once someone around me fits the profile, I quit wasting my time listening to their hours of drivel.
So to answer your question student nurse... it can become a part of your life forever or you exorcise it...it's that simple.

Yea. I'm figguring that out. Right now I don't have as many friends, but the ones I have are very mature and don't just go around starting fights for the heck of it, well except for at work, but those are co-workers and not friends. Telemarketers arn't very mature people in general.

Wow I can relate to that. I have my msn space and for me I have told people I write what I feel when I feel it. When the guy I was dating and I broke up it was a way to say how bad he hurt me and let him now it was not alright for him to do that. Then my mom got sick and there was a lot more drama in my life, but it helped me to be open and express how I felt with out predigest. Since then I delete a few post as to not hurt the freaking guy but I regret doing that. Stand your ground and never apologize for having feelings and expressing them. One day they will grow up and realize it for what it was a growing experience.
Things can get so out of hand so fast so alway be true to yourself and the rest will work itself out and come full circle.
good luck

Nope we broke up before I had the chance to do that. Life and shit got in the way and he wasn't the man I thought he was. I am better off without him now. If you couldn't be there for me when my mom passed or any support that way, well his loss I guess but when one door closes another opens and I have found a wonderful guy to share my life with and he shows me everyday how special I am to him and I cherish that. So in the end the Brit did me a favor.
He is a friend now and we will stay that way..he just wasn't for me.

I thanked the dude that stopped all the text-messaging drama. I didn't actually talk to him, bc i'd say some not nice things, but my friend told him I said thank you.. and he told me happy birthday. Now I had the whole house singing "he's got a itsy bitsy teeny weenie".. while she was on the phone with him.. but it was my birthday i'm aloud to have a bit of fun right?

Drama is the stuff therapists make money from. The more involved the better. In fact, the best stuff gets incorporated into the daily soaps operas. There's not much I enjoy more than getting you & somebody else to fight. Builds my patient load & fills my wallet.

I find it interesting that you say you deleted some of the posts in order to spare his feelings. Then you say you regret doing it.
Shortstuff, I regret none of the choices I have made in my life with one exception...when I have purposely hurt another. I was very fiery when I was young and still can be at times but for the most part I have learned to wait before I express how I THINK I am feeling. For the most part it is best to cool down first. Nothing is ever gained by purposely hurting another except a momentary and vanishing feeling of satisfaction. It depletes who you are and nothing is ever gained, but much can be lost.
