I'm kind of like Rebecca, is that I let it go very easily now. The mindfulness class helped (I have to be able to practice what I preach), but drama is developmentally the norm for 5th-8th graders. I spent most of my last few years of teaching "on the rug," with groups of girls. That's what led me to becoming a therapist. That, and the fact I loved the morning meeting/Responsive Classroom part of my day and the other teachers hated it. I get worried, though, when I hear about "drama" from the high schoolers and adults I see now...
