Stereotypes
How many of you have been exposed to a stereotype before? Stereotypes are made every day, in schools, about how you look, your gender, race and much more. They can affect the way you feel about yourself. Though no-one should be the reason why you think that you are not great, because everyone is amazing and unique in their own way. Stereotypes lead to other issues, which lead to deaths, in fact, 2,000 people suicide around the world each year thinking they are worth nothing. I’m writing this speech to explain the effects of stereotypes and help prevent them. The main points that I will be talking about are how stereotypes don’t define you, how to overcome them and finally, how stereotypes can affect tweens and teens and …show more content…
This is a time when you’re trying to figure yourself out. Its hard, I know. It’s even harder if judgments are made.

It's just a stereotype that girls run slow and fight weak. However, if this stereotype is true then explain Molly Huddle, an Olympics women’s track and field runner, that ran 10,000 meters in the Olympics. Explain Sasha Banks, the profession women WWE wrestler. This stereotype doesn’t go for all girls and women. My friend in grade 6 wanted to be in the Olympics and that's her dream. She was told that she probably couldn’t because she was a girl by her peers. I believe that she can fulfill her dream. I mean, why not? True, she runs like a girl, walks like a girl, fights like a girl and wakes up in the morning like a girl. You, know why because she’s girl. There’s nothing wrong about that and all women and girls should be proud to be who they are. Well, there's not only stereotypes about girls (mostly but). There are also some about boys like if boys are showing too much emotion they need to man up. I don’t get that. Imagine, if your mother died at 12 years old and you're a boy. I think that you're still going to be
