You And Your False Assumptions.
If there’s one think I can’t stand it is an assumption. I’m not going to say it, but you already know what they make out of you.
Assumptions, the only thing they accomplish is false accusations. School is filled with stereotypes, from high school seniors to elementary school kindergartners. We created the hardcore and the prep. We created the gothic and the cheerleader. We created the punk and the nerd. We created the jock and the band geek. We created the indies chicks and the tomboys. We created something that is based more on looks and less on personality. We created something that will destroy us. Going to the mall with the preppy girls doesn’t make you a gossiper. Going to band shows with the hardcore kids doesn’t make you a rebel. It’s what you do and say that classifies you. What you expect from the bad kids, you’ll get from the good. What you expect from the good kids, you’ll get from the bad. Expect the unexpected in people. Change your expected opinion and you’ll change society into the unexpected..
I am a person, so I must be stereotyped..

Hi Sarah. It’s amazing how much we stereotype people without even realising we’re doing it. It’s a bit like the way we judge people by their appearances. It sounds to me as though you’re very aware of the issue of stereotyping and have a good perspective on judging people by actions not looks, or race etc.
