Stereotyping

by lifehater @ 2008-04-03 - 10:49:21

The one thing that annoys me most out of todays civilisation, is the stereotyping of teenagers. Wether it be a 'Chav', an 'emo', a 'mosher' , a 'geek' or any others you may of heard of.
And the reason for the stereotyping, our taste in music. so yeah you might be thinking now "so what do you class yourself as then" the answer is im just me, an indiidual. But no apparently if you say you are just yourself you are an 'emo'. i often get labeled as an 'emo'.
But i sometimes get labelled a 'chav'. These two labels couldnt be more further away the reason i used to be the common stereotype of a 'chav' but i was just trying to fit in.Then in my summer holidays august 07 just after an incident happened which made my whole year hate me. During those holidays i was friendless, i went out 3 times in six weeks and i realised i obviously dont fit in so why dont i just be myself but being myself has resulted in being labelled an 'emo'. so please join me on my discovery to find out if i am a label or if i am simply an individual that isnt allowed.

Heh, high school. The place where everyone is in it for themselves but the mob rules...

I think you’ll find that even past high school, there are labels, everyone gets labelled by everyone else. My personal explanation for this is that we need order. If we know what label a person has we know how we can act around them. Like me, I’m labelled a geek, so people find it easy to hear me talk about complicated things (mostly in my job). Whereas if I were labelled boring, I may have something utterly mind blowing to say, but you, the listener would not pas as much attention as I’m "boring".

You just have to stick with it and stay true to yourself, if the people you’re with don’t like you for who you are... find different people. life’s not worth wasting with the bullshit of social warfare that is high school drama.

My 2 bits :P (should have made this a blog lol its long enough ffs.)
