StereoTypes

  1. Many people have used stereotypes in their messaging and threads. I, for one, am against it. It is useless. Do not go all freakish with it. It is rude to people who are those people and are not stereotypes.

    Emo Stereotype
    This annoys me. An emo stereotype is a person that wears black and listens to dark music. Their appearance is somehow terrible and all they think about is hatred. This is wrong! This is a goth. Not an emo

    Emo
    An emo is someone who is emotionally depressed because of something that has happened in their life. This affects them and their personality.

    Anorexic Stereotype
    An anorexic stereotype is someone that is skinny and you are jealous of them. Therefore you call them anorexic. This is not true.

    Anorexic
    Anorexia is a disease that many girls have. Anorexic is used in different ways. This is usually when a teenage girl is being called fat when they are skinny. This can turn into an illness that scars them for life. This is called Fatigue(something). It is when the body cannot eat anything and it will reject it. Only certain foods that person can eat and it must take medication to stop it.

    These are only a few examples of stereotypes. Feel free to post your stereotypes and what that stereotype actually is below that. Stereotyping is mainly caused by bullying. Remember! Anything you say to someone may affect them mentally.

  2. For the emo stereotype you got that wrong too. And you stereotyped a goth. So you just contradicted yourself.
     
  3. A goth is someone that wears black, listens to dark music and hates happiness. A goth is a fashion trend, a way of saying, "I'm here! Notice me." While an emo is a way of life. It says "don't judge me, I'm only human."

  4. A stereotype is someone that states themselves as something. Like an anorexic person. People think anorexic is being skinny while it is really a disease.
     
  5. Correction it's an eating disorder **
     
  6. Again, you stereotyped a goth. Not all goths hate happiness... And annorexia is not when someone is skinny. Its a mental/eating dissorder. Get yo facts straight.
     
  7. And a stereotype is not when someone states themself as something. A stereotype is someone else labeling who you are based on what you look like/what your religion is..etc., without knowing you.

  9. Stereotype(N):

  12. I was just about to write exactly what melly did. Nice way to complain about people stereotyping by using stereotypes lol!
     
  13. And anorexia affects boys and girls. It's a serious psychiatric disorder with one of the highest associated death rates. For bloody hell's sake if you're going to post something like this at least make an effort to find out about it. Google is great
     
  14. According to Freudians a fixation in one of the psychosexual stages during childhood ~ (oral stage) may cause anorexia.
    Learnt that in class haha
     
  15. Lol. Freud is full of giggles. The one where the boy is scared of horses with blinkers cos it represents his father who wears glasses and his fear of him cos the boy secretly wants to sleep with his mother is one of my favourites...
