People; as of 2013 there are a little over 7 billion in the world. Each and every one of them with specific characteristics to them and only them. Yes people can have the same one, but the combination of those characteristics are different in every person… especially in High School. High School is the turning point in the teenagers mind, body and life; Those who chose to incorporate their time into one of those will most likely not have enough time to “upgrade” the others. Which in turn, separates them into groups or stereotypes: The Athletes, Princesses, Brains, Basket cases, and criminals.

    Gender Stereotypes In College

    As a senior I am approaching the final days of high school and over the course of four years I’ve had the privilege to visit colleges and catch a glimpse of what the experience is like. Furthermore, my partner is in his second semester of college as a first year and consequently he gives me advice as well as telling me about his experiences so far. In the beginning he was slightly nervous to be in a different environment, but that quickly came to an end when he made acquaintances. As a male in college the experience is not what was expected in high school. Many are focusing and getting the job done while taking it seriously.…

    Stereotypes: The Only White Student In The Class

    Another effect of stereotype often known as white superiority can be seen in Mrs. Gruwell’s student, Ben who is the only white student in the class. He never speaks much in fear of the other gang members in his class. He prefers to sit in the front of the classrooms as close to the teacher. In the film, he was told to sit amongst the black students saying, “I can’t go back there alone” expecting to be harassed.

    Racial Stereotypes And Conflicts In Schools

    Within the United States, there are many groups in which people separate themselves. More specifically, at my high school, there is also a lot of division and with that, prejudices and conflicts. When the slew of murders against unarmed African Americans occurred at the hands of the police, many students of color felt enraged and extremely sadden at this tragedy happening yet again. Some students expressed this frustration at school by having “black out day” or sitting during the pledge. Protesting in our own way, it had the effect of upsetting certain Caucasian students, causing them to throw offensive racial slurs against the minority population in school.…

    My Experience With Stereotypes In High School

    It was the beginning of my junior year of high school that I was already feeling the pressure heavily on what college I should attend that would guide in the best way for my chosen career. During a break period, my friends and I were walking into a hallway speaking about the colleges we thought about attending when suddenly a student bumps into me, almost knocking me down completely, turned back and said, “Watch it wetback!” Shocked beyond words of expression that I had just encountered my first experience with racism. My mind was racing, contemplating whether or not to say something back, but I was already speaking by the time I could make a decision in my head yelling back, “How dare you assume and use such a derogatory term to me!” His response?…
