Calling someone a goth or punk or prep or goody-two-shoes, etc. Is it really fair to judge people? Or is it just an organized classification of people that could fall in those catagories? Is it fair to say that all are the same? Is it being racist in any way? Please post your opinions.

QUOTE being labeled often works 2 ways.... 1) Oh, hes just a dumb football player... 2) Oh, hes a football player and makes millions of dollars. 1) Hes a nerd, hes super smart but thats it... dont talk to him. 2) Hes a nerd hes super smart, he helps me with homework. That's a very good point. But even if we use "nerd" in a good way, it'll always be misinterpreted. Why can't we just go "He's a guy/girl, he's super smart, he helps me with homework"? Then again, we have the super super positive labels, like "friend" and whatever. |
