'Act your age, not your shoe size'

how about those people that start drama and issues cleverly? you know, not about them, or people they talk to regularly, but people that they observe, or have a class with. maybe you're a victim, maybe you're the causer of this distress. either way, it's a waste of time. Hurting one's feelings just so you can sit back and laugh is not any way to be. Maybe it's fun for a minute,  but down the road, you get no gain from any of it.
These games kill people oftentimes. This big bully epidemic rushing through high school comes across as stupid exaggeration, but it happens. Sometimes, we don't even take time to get to know people we tease and hate. Everyone has a story to tell, but nobody wants to listen. People are only worried about getting their own story out there.  Maybe if we worried about our selves instead of the normal:

 "she told me to call her when she got home"

 " oh? well she called me on her way home, before she talked to you. nah,  nah!"

 is that necessary? why can't we stop this competition and think about what's important at the time?

They say that who needs real conflict in their lives at this point, when time is precious and the next breath isn't even promised to us? why would we waste the last breath on yelling someone's name hatefully as they pass in the hall? It may seem all fun and games now, but what about when you're 65, and all you have to tell your grandkids is how you sabotaged this kid in your science class,or made a voodoo doll of this girl in your art class.. what kind of example is that?

"Without wood, a fire dies down; without gossip, a conflict dies out"

think about it:)
