Some people think that the only way to get rid of their anger is to throw it in someone else’s face, but that isn’t always the best option. Sometimes things get out of hand and they can’t be taken back after that. I can tell you right now that no matter how much of a problem you have with someone, it is not worth going to the extremes for. Sometimes a small argument with another girl can turn into a court case. I would know from experience. High school drama seems like it’s nothing, but it can lead to a lot if you allow it to.
