Public Schooled Teens Stereotypes

Decent Essays
Puclic school and homeschool, many people think public schooled teens are out of control or rude and crazy, while many other people think homeschooled teens are brainwashed, brillant, and socially awkward. I used to believe some of these stereotypes myself, I still kind of do for various reasons, reasons that I will now begin to state. Homeschooled teens, homeschooled teens have a very limited social life, unless all there friends are homeschooled as well, for the most part they don't do anything on weekdays with teens their own age. Most of their friends are probably at school or in class to busy to text, and after school to overwhelemed and busy with homework. If though all their friends are homeschooled their social life

    Math Morals By Kelly Anne “Brrrrrrring,” went the school bell. The crisp air on the playground felt amazing. I didn’t want to go inside.

    Like William Raspberry, I think stereotypes limit us from performing at our full potential. Throughout middle school, I was labeled as academically perfect by my peers. In sixth grade, I had many classes with a boy called Zach, who tended to slack off during school. Every day, he would ask for the answers to our homework. He asked questions about linear graphs, the rock cycle, and the worst of all, where Kyrgyzstan is.…

    Middle school is an inevitable phase of many of our lives. It is also a very memorable time- for both good and bad reasons. Yet, we all somehow manage to strive through no matter how tough the year gets. For me, at first, none of the typical horrifying middle school stereotypes fit how my sixth grade year was going. I had plenty of friends, understood my classes, and I didn’t appear to be too awkward.…

    There’s something all schools around the world have in common. This commonality describes characteristics of a person; it doesn't define one as a person, but rather one as a stereotype. There’s only one stereotype at the top of the kingdom, and its not your who your are thinking. Its the nerds, and this paper will prove why. I chose the article “High School Nerds Make More Money, Says social Science” by Jordan Weissman.…

    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?…

    Society and the media influences have convinced teenagers that they would be more successful and beautiful if they change their appearance and reputation by using stereotypes such as the Barbie doll and models. With these forms of influences teenagers’ self-esteem will be lowered and their behavior can alter which can lead to violence. There are several different ways that teenagers will modify their appearance or reputation, but amongst these the more common are by using steroids, plastic surgery, eating disorders, hair products, makeup and alcohol and drug abuse. Due to society’s enormous impact on teenagers and their image by using stereotypes of the ‘perfect’ body, hair and clothing which has caused teens to change their appearance and…

    “Probably they`re high on drugs.” Why can`t teenagers have fun, without being accused of being high or drunk exactly. I guess that’s how 2015 goes these days, it’s so hard to wrap my mind around all the stereotypes on teenagers today. How could one who grew up in a totally different era, with completely different standards, could judge someone just by the look at them. That gentleman has no idea what I had to go through to make it in today’s society.…

    The article also stated that we don't have to work for anything, and that everything is just “handed to us on a silver platter”. This is a very biased comment that obviously was not well researched at all. Nowadays, it is harder than ever for young people like me to get a job after leaving school, thanks in part to the teenage stereotype articles like this are pushing forwards. Unless we have a college degree, employers often see teenagers as lazy, spoiled and unskilled, leading them to dismiss us as being unqualified for the job. This doesn't help when, thanks to high unemployment, teenagers with very little job experience are now competing with adults for the same jobs.…

    The first two words that come to mind when someone says the word, “teenagers” are rebellious and awkward. Although it is stereotypical, is it true? Based on the teenagers in the world today, I think it is probably true. However, with all pressures from school, parents, peers, and health it is no wonder that teenagers today are striving to be more independent and self-reliant; although this may come across as being rebellious and awkward. But can they be blamed?…

    In this situation I am focusing on Younger Adults aged 18 – 30. These will typically be people who are full time students or have full time jobs and will most likely have children. This category of people are extremely busy and schedule oriented and do not have time for many leisure activities nor have a high income. My product, which is portable cereal, not just a cereal bar but a cereal brand sold and packaged (separately) with milk allows people to eat one of their favorite breakfast meals in the car or at work. Why is the only place one can eat cereal at home sitting down?…

    In today’s competitive society, children are most forced to grow up quickly. However, in these times it's not like it was one hundred years ago, where kids, at an age as early as seven had to go work in a factory. In these times,especially if you live in a very civilized, up to date, and more importantly a very competitive area, such as the one we live in called, Silicon Valley, kids are almost forced to unlock their true potential. In fact, during the summer of my seventh grade year, my father was already giving me constant SAT workbooks on my bed. When I got them I was thinking to myself “Hey dad I think i got a few more years left, before doing this.”…

    “You get the best and the worst as a teen”, as Sophia Bush said. Being a teenager is both amazing and horrible. You make friends and you lose them, you fall in love and you come tumbling down. There are many things I wish someone had taught me before I had to learn it myself in my 17 years of life on this tumultuous Earth, they are the things I wish to pass on to my sister, only nine with an entire lifetime of experiences awaiting her.…

    Good morning Mr Flaherty and class Today Matthew and I will be analysing 2 different texts of how the media portrays us as teenagers in both positive and negative texts. Negative text 5 teens rob gas station The news article 5.T.R.G.S is a destructive representation towards teens as the language used in this piece advises that all teens are continuously ‘fleeing’, ‘screaming demands’, ‘pointing guns’ and ‘pinning’.

    Picture a freshman boy with glasses, straight posture, and overalls walking down the hallway inside his high school. There's no doubt that everyone in school will assume the boy is a nerd with straight As who has no friends because of his appearance. A second example would be a varsity cheerleader, everyone assumes that she is sassy, loud, and mean not knowing the person she truly is. Society often labels people with stereotypes even though they don’t take the time to actually get to know this person. Stereotypes often begin because of true or false information on certain individuals.…
