African American and people will say you live in poverty and won't be able to provide for your baby. In the end, you end up getting a job and have family support so you can afford anything for your baby. Also, people see that other teen moms are single moms and/or they're bad moms. Even after you tell your baby's father you are pregnant they might stay in y'all life and help. You might not be under a lot of stress, so you love and care for your baby, not neglect him/her. I think the teen mom stereotypes came from everyone seeing all these bad things happening and think every teen mom will go through it but in the end everyone is different. Teen

    Black Women As Jezebel's Stereotypes

    Portraying black women as Jezebel’s by nature is a long -lasting stereotype. The jezebel stereotype is one that has been used to put down African American women since the beginning of slavery. Throughout history the white women were seen as pure, hardworking and respectable, while black women were always seen as promiscuous, seductive and tempting men. Maria Miller Stewart who was a servant, teacher, abolitionist and women's rights activist shows through her literary work "Religion and the Pure Principles of Molarity, the Sure Foundation on which we Must Build." that black women show the same qualities as any other race of women and that they don't deserve the title of Jezebel. Also there will be images of how African American women…

    Why Teenagers Lose Social Support

    It is hard for a teenager to lose the support of their friends and family when they are going through difficult times in their life. They depend on the people close to them to have their backs and be there for them to lean on when having a rough day. However, pregnant teens are losing that social support because their peers do not want to be associated with the girl that got pregnant in high school. Many of the teens are seen as an outcast and are judged harshly by their peers. This rift between pregnant teens and their peers causes many negative implications.…

You have to know how to deal with certain situations in the appropriate manner. I don’t believe only black men have to put on a pose, but that also black women have to so as well. There’s different types of black women in this society and they all have different roles that they play. Growing up in a black household, you may experience different parenting styles form both parents.…

    Arguments Against Racial Stereotypes

    In Rebecca Skloot’s book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, racial stereotyping against minority patients is predominant in every aspect of health care. Many of these stereotypes in Skloot’s book painted blacks as unintelligent and vulnerable and led to many doctors taking advantage of their patients. Henrietta Lacks was one of these patients and unfortunately doctors made millions off of her cancerous cervix cells without her informed consent. Her cells, named HeLa cells, helped cure the polio virus and contributed to numerous other medical findings, but her and her family received none of the money earned from HeLa cells. Unfortunately, stereotyping based on race still occurs today and it has affected the lives of others terribly just like they did to Henrietta in the 1950s.…
