There is another topic on stereotypes in the debate topic but it's about if you're bothered by them. I want to ask if there is any truth behind stereotypes. I think there's a difference,but I am not sure...
Plus sorry if there are any spelling mistakes because I am bad at spelling. I hate stereotypes. It makes me mad because people talk to you, speak to you and see you differently because stereotypes have influnced thier beliefs. My friend says that people many hate stereotypes but most are true. Well, do any of you think there is a truth behind stereotypes? |

Some truth? Yes. How would you explain there even being sterotypes if it werent just a little truth unless someone got bored and made up a sterotype and people just started randomly spreading it around.

How would you explain there even being sterotypes if it werent just a little truth unless someone got bored and made up a sterotype and people just started randomly spreading it around. Agreed. So .. here are a few stereotypes and please don't be offended. Blondes ... sluts, party-girls, carefree, frivolous, unintelligent Goths ... depressed, dark, cold, druggie, dislikes world, suicidal, Satanist Emo ... music-inclined, whiny, emotional, trend-following, fake, annoying, bisexual, cutters Cheerleader/Prep ... see "blondes" Jock ... athletic, shallow, good-looking, masculine, popular, unintelligent Druggie ... slow, unhappy, stupid, zoned out, unhygenic, hopeless Nerds ... anti-social, bookworm, computer geek, straight A's, no friends, tucked in shirt, glasses, etc. I think you get the point. Stereotypes are not black and white. There are definitely gray areas, which is where most people will fall in place. Just because you're a cheerleader, doesn't mean you're unintelligent. Just because you study a lot doesn't mean you have no friends. Just because you are bisexual or music-inclined, doesn't make you "emo". They're simply groups that teens have made to categorize (and judge) others. |
