Stereotypes

My dad is a dentist and I live in a two story red brick house in a suburb next to a golf course. Both my sister and I have our own cars, I wear Hollister, and I hang out with the “popular” people. I’m shy, I have morals, I go to church, I do my homework, and I do not get into trouble. Therefore my stereotypes are a rich stuck up brat, Mrs. Goody Two Shoes, or a prep. My whole life I have lived with these stereotypes and they used to bother me. Honestly they really do not so much anymore. If people can not give me a chance to show who I truly am then they are the ones missing out. I come from a high school of about two thousand kids. A high school with ghetto, preppy, gothic, goody-two shoes, jocks, sluts, etc. Those are the stereotypes I’m used too. They do not all apply to me and are not all associated with me. I hate stereotypes. Everyone is entitled to be whatever they want to be and they deserve to be given the chance to show that before people classify them as something just because of the way they look. I get stereotyped everyday and I am sure I stereotyped everyday also. The stereotypes associated with me do not bother me so much because I know who I am. However, the things that bother me the most are racial stereotypes. Everyone is different and no one should be generalized.
