How does one deal with a punisher?

Dealing With Drama Even When You're In College
Chimp Reports

Like many of us, we all believe that once we have finished high school the drama will just diminish; however, even in college there will always be that one person known as a punisher. A punisher is a person who feeds off drama, lives to create it and gets excited by it. This person, even in college, starts the dreaded situation of drama. Being in college brings a whole new side to immaturity. Most of us just want to get through the next four years peacefully and with a 3.0 or higher, hopefully. The punisher though wants to come in every day and make the entire day miserable for everyone else.They talk bad about others, act so nice when you're around and are always striving for the attention they believe they need. When in an environment with this person, you tend to be shocked by the majority of the things they do on a day to day basis. They start fights, bad mouth fellow students and professors, make up an abundance of lies and some even go further than that.

So, how does one deal with a punisher? It will not, I repeat, will not be easy whatsoever. You are going to want to battle, stand up for the people they have been talking bad about, and try your hardest to help them. Being in a situation like this just last week, I learned the most valuable lesson ever when dealing with drama. Stand up for what you believe in your heart is right, do not sit back and let them drag you down too, do not put yourself in an environment with them. When in a situation like this, kill them with kindness, do not their choices and words overcome you. They feed off of your reaction the best thing you can do here is to not let them see a reaction out of you. They are not worth it, karma is a dangerous beast and it will get around to them quicker than most believe.


Stay focused on you, succeed in school, and surround yourself with others who boost you up rather than being drug down the drain with the punisher. In the end, you will come out on top and they will regret being so terrible to others. Why do I believe so strongly in this? Because after being in this situation I learned, taking the high road, keeping my mouth shut even when its hard and staying focused on me is most important.They are just one of the many people I'll encounter in this world, so I refuse to be caught up in a downhill slide with a punisher and you should too.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
