Have You Ever Heard Of A Drama King?
By Lena Hedayat, Staff Writer
Has
anyone ever been called a Drama King? Or more specifically, are the
boys in this school being labeled as "Drama Kings?" Well, it rarely
occurs. One usually hears, or calls someone, a "Drama Queen." The
term drama queen is defined in the dictionary as "any person who
overreacts to a minor problem or situation." Girls happen to be the
ones who often apply to this. Isn't it funny how they can get so
wrapped up in problems that it will end up five times worse than it
really was? A basic explanation for this is girls tend to break down
every minor detail in a situation, analyze it, and then do it all
over again. This process is continued until they think they have
figured out some reasonable justification for someone's actions. A
problem that can occur with this thought routine is that much of the
information will be over thought, and taken the wrong way. Suddenly
girls are furious with themselves and the current situation. Why did
this happen? Why did I have to do that? Does she think I'm really
that stupid? Oh they are really going to regret this tomorrow… and
other such ideas will run through their minds.
Girls are always surrounding
themselves with what we refer to as "drama." They all complain about
it, saying it is ugly and hateful, yet it continues. Major fights
will break out over the simplest things. One girl will insult
another about the brand of clothing she's wearing, and before you
know it, people are taking sides, punishing each other brutally with
mostly words. Girls are not as involved in beating each other up.
They will take out their anger by sending hate mail, yelling at each
other, and destroying anothers' possessions. Girls will fight to no
end, and can hurt someone much more with their word destruction than
by physically hitting somebody. It's sad to say but (sorry boys)
girls hate each other half the time because of some guy they both
like. If one girl has some interest in a particular guy, and then
her best friend talks to him she immediately assumes her friend is
making an attempt to "steal" him, and ruining her chances of ever
being with him. Every once in a while, a girl will, out of terror,
keep secrets from her very best friend about the boy she likes
because of the fear that her friend will turn on her, and hate her.
Unfortunately this is an on-going problem among several girls. They
can never keep their cool. It's all about trying to show each other
how they can always win.
Boys, on the other hand, are simple.
They deal with things the moment it occurs, and then forget about
it. This is not necessarily true for every guy out there, but for
the majority. They keep things to themselves, never finding a dire
need to tell everyone about a fight they got into with a friend.
Unlike girls, boys can solve problems at a much quicker rate. Most
of the time, it just does not matter to them weather so and so did
this or this kid said that. Well aren't they lucky? So, many girls
are hurt by the actions certain boys will take when they really are
not trying to hurt anybody, but just being themselves.
Girls will also get into arguments
over their friends. This, again, does not apply to every girl, but
to the greater number. If a girl has a friend that she brings to
another group of people, they will immediately become suspicious and
thoughts of, "Is she trying to push us away?" "Does she not like us
anymore?" "Are we not good enough for her?"
It all boils down to the perspective
people take. Most of the "drama" in this school is due to people
taking offense when it's not needed.
SUPERIMPOSED:
“I think it’s stupid, because instead of
talking to the direct person, you just tell all your friends so it
spreads and it becomes a bigger issue than it needs to be.”
