Stereotyping is when you judge someone by his or her looks, hairstyle, voice, actions, attitudes, body shape, nose shape…the list is endless. This means comparing someone different to a certain group, for example emos, without really getting to know the person for who they are. A girl with long black hair covering both her eyes and many, many, many piercings over her body walks through the door. Do we think she’s an emo? Do we think she slits her wrists and head bangs to hardcore metal? Yes, because she looks like one. For all we know, she might like to play dress ups in her spare time or waltz to Mozart. This is stereotyping.

There are many types of stereotypes. All blondes are dumb. Glasses mean intelligence. Women are bad at driving. All Japanese people love cameras

Nobody was labeled or put into groupof different people, they were all treated the same and weren’t judged for what they looked like or where they were from. But over time things changed and everyone was being judged for their looks, hair color, age, color, race, and so many more. People stereotype me, there for they don’t know me. I’m just like you and everyone else in this world, should I still be stereotyped? Just because I am ME do people have the right to judge? People judge others, on anything they can possibly find that’s wrong about them. But why? Just think about it…will it make them any smarter? A better person? Cooler? More popular? NO, of course not. When you see a person the first thing that comes to your mind is how to describe their looks and personality, but you judge that person before you even get the chance to say one single word, “Hello.” People act like they’ve lost their brains. So instead of wasting your seconds, minutes, hours, and days talking about someone “different” why don’t you spend those seconds, minutes, hours, and days trying to get to know them better? There are so many groups of stereotypes. Preps, emos,
