I'm sorry to hear about "drama" at school. I hope you can find resources to help deal with that.
One thing I tell my kids is that school is not the whole world! Sometimes it feels like it is because you spend so much time there among people your same age. But in the "real world" people are all different ages and backgrounds, just trying to make a living--the people at work are just "people at work", then you go home to family or go see friends, play with your dog, sports, whatever. Of course, you can socialize and make friends at work too, but it's not a requirement--some people prefer to "compartmentalize" their working world, clock in their time, then go home. My point is school is a place you go to learn what you need to learn, and you don't have to engage in every bit of drama that goes on there. I know that's easier said than done, but just want you to know things get better!

When my kids tell me about misunderstandings at school, or people being mean or rude I always tell them to go make new friends. I encourage them to walk away from negativity and have fun. You shouldn't allow one incident at school affect your whole day. I suggest steering clear from those people that might be apart of "drama" and make some new friends. You can still be friends with everyone, but just remove yourself from situations that make you uncomfortable or stressed.
Maybe you can even pull your friend aside and explain how the situation is making you feel and that you don't wan to be apart of it. Help people work out the issue rather than feeding into the situation.
