you can never fully stay away from drama but
- stay away from people that don't have any friends in their grade(there's probably a reason)
- if people start acting different in a bad way distance yourself but don't make it obvious
- don't join theater(there will never not be drama there I know from experience)
- If there's problems with your grades/assessments email/talk to your teacher first
- don't get "adopted" by an older student or allow them to be creepily touchy with you no matter their gender
that's all I can think of rn, I might add later /:
