Greetings and welcome! ♥
The word 'drama' is such a widely and carelessly used word because when others are experiencing a tough and/or painful situation or struggle and seek some sort of relief, there are others who then attach the drama label to excuse their own callous and apathetic attitude. But let these same callous and apathetic people find themselves in their own painful and tough situation and then 'their' situation they want/expect others to see it as a 'real' crisis, as they also expect others to be sympathetic and listen to their lamenting.
Obviously, we can't take on everyone's woes. Otherwise, we'd all be basket cases. But we all can be a bit more kind, more understanding, and more empathetic. We all have struggles and painful experiences and there are going to be some that we'll need some help with and support from others to help get us through. Then there are some people who can handle things a bit better than others. Then too, we can't possibly truly understand another's dilemma, if we've never been in the same or similar one ourselves.
We need to be more careful with how we use and apply the 'drama label'. I KNOW from personal experience, feeling so desperate for help, only to have others poke fun and ostracise me cruelly when I mustered up enough courage to ask for help. People who do such, use another's pain against them, kick another down when they are already, are despicable beyond words. It's these same individuals who don't hesitate to cry to others when they're going through something and very often, their situation is minor compared to another's, whom they have belittled and mocked.
Many who are so quick to apply the drama label are in fact guilty of creating and perpetuating what is actually more fitting for the drama label. People who do whatever they can to 'prevent' resolutions, such as stonewalling, circumventing, lying, blame-shifting, etc., do so because they like and thrive on dissension and the drama that's continually created as a result, but will claim another or others are responsible, not them, and very often they blame and attack whomever is trying to resolve an issue because resolving means an end to the drama. A person who seeks to resolve issues and differences, does so to put an end to dissension and the so-called drama it feeds, so the problem(s) can be put to rest and then everyone can move forward with the problem(s) AND drama left behind.
When we go through less than pleasant experiences in life, we have two choices. We can either become more understanding, more compassionate, and more empathetic OR we can allow these experiences to infect our hearts with bitterness, resentment, apathy, and even hatred itself. The choice of which path we choose to pursue is each of ours only to decide to make and which we choose, neither the credit nor the blame for, can rest with anyone else. ♥

"Drama is always 'just drama',
when it's someone else's pain.
It doesn't become a real crisis,
until it hits one's home domain."

Oh, how well I KNOW this quote to be true. Those who shoot us down, praying and hoping for us to fail, even some tell us outright that we are hopeless, that we are losers, that we aren't worth a tinker's damn, won't amount to a hill of beans, shouldn't have ever been born, etc.. I've heard them all I think, beginning in my very young and formidable years from my stepfather especially and mostly, completely destroying my self worth, my self esteem, leaving me with deep, painful, internal struggles and led me to make MANY bad choices and judgment calls, particularly in my early adult years that placed me in very precarious and even dangerous situations.
Children can be and often are very resilient but resiliency doesn't remove the "inner pain and damage" and it doesn't simply dissipate when we reach adulthood. In fact, demons result that we must then either battle against, determined to overcome them OR allow them to be representative of our character. Either way, the choice when we reach adulthood is each of ours to make. Blaming whoever or whatever that brought about our inner demons isn't the answer nor solution.
Yes, we have to recognise the root causes because when we deal with the causes with the intent to eradicate or neutralize, we can only then hope to do the same with the resulting symptoms and/or repercussions our demons instigate. When all we do is blame, we're copping out, usually because we haven't the courage it takes to face and/or accept we have our demons. Anything avoided cannot be addressed. Anything not addressed can't be fixed or corrected.
Therefore, when we just blame all those who've said we'd fail to justify our demons that are at the root of our bad behaviour and choices, we are in fact proving those who've done so, right. We reward and grant them their wishes! On the positive, flip side, however, when we face our demons brought about by those wanting us to fail and we learn to use them constructively to motivate us with a determination to rise above with humility and integrity, becoming what they said we wouldn't/couldn't, hence, denying them their wishes but more important, stripping away the power of the demons they implemented in us, we are given a huge jump start with rebuilding our self esteem and worth. ..And when we can be gracious enough to be thankful for those who wished and wanted us to fail, thus ultimately, though inadvertently, being a catalyst for making us better and stronger in the process, we then have truly attained a satisfaction that we KNOW we've "earned" and is priceless.
"In our lives, we must be thankful
For those who are our blessin's,
But too, we must be thankful
For those who've been our lessons."
In regards to my stepfather... As I became a little older child, I began to see the labels he was giving me, were labels more fitting of himself than they were of me, and so, I used him as an example of what NOT to let myself become, that I would instead be smart and defy his label of me as dumb, worthless, etc.. My beloved Mother on the other hand, was a superb role model and mentor for me and I am and will always be eternally grateful for God blessing me with her as my Mom, my mentor, my hero. To this day, I do not feel sorry for bad experiences I've had because without them, I wouldn't be able to understand as well others' misfortunes and bad experiences AND nor would I have the knowledge to write about as I do in my poetry and quotes, as I offer an explanation of in my "Gifted By God" poem.
"A character of integrity doesn't come to be
By denying lesser traits we wish not to see,
But rather by acknowledging they do exist
And under our control, they can't then persist."

"One of our greatest satisfactions
can to us belong,
When those who've said we'd fail,
we have proven wrong."

This quote correlates with the saying, "A bird in hand is better than two in a bush". Sometimes in life we have to take a chance, take a risk, to go for achieving a particular goal we're seeking, because if we don't, we can't ever know if we would have reached what we're seeking. But... on the other hand, we must learn/know when we already have something priceless and precious, we must appreciate such and not gamble with losing it. Too often we tend to think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, until... we find ourselves on that other side, only to discover it's not as great as we had thought and then we're left with much regret. ♥

"A bird in hand versus two in a tree
Is best because of the guarantee,
For two birds in a tree may never land
Into the palm of a reaching hand."
