What kind of people desire drama?

[Poey]

I go to school and I've seen many kinds of people.
There's a growing emo population within the school and people who I though were completely normal people are suddenly dressed in all-black, hair covering their forehead, and one guy who has cuts on his arm and they have piercings (and I've heard they deal drugs). It's like the spread of Islam.
Then there's the party animals who just always want to be popular, so they look like they spend one hour on their hair every day and look like they deliberately change the spelling on their Facebook accounts to 'kool' rather than 'cool' or 'kent' rather than 'c***.'
Then there's a bunch of people who stand out (like a short guy who just likes to yell out random, well, crap during class to interrupt teachers).

I just really want to know what individual thoughts they have in common with their social groups or themselves to make them like what they are.
Thanks

Human beings are social creatures and need social interaction, feedback, and validation of their worth. The emotionally mature person doesn't need to go hunting for these; they gain it naturally from their daily life, especially from their work and from stable relationshipsThe emotionally immature person, however, has low levels of self-esteem and self-confidence and consequently feels insecure; to counter these feelings of insecurity they will spend a large proportion of their lives creating situations in which they become the centre of attention. It may be that the need for attention is inversely proportional to emotional maturity, therefore anyone indulging in attention-seeking behaviours is telling you how emotionally immature they are. Attention-seeking behaviour is surprisingly common. Being the centre of attention alleviates feelings of insecurity and inadequacy but the relief is temporary as the underlying problem remains unaddressed: low self-confidence and low self-esteem, and consequent low levels of self-worth and self-love.

They are all attention seekers and all attention seekers are basically insecure.
