Stereotyping is defined in different ways to Plymouth High School students.<\/p>\n

Manners are taught at the high school, yet some students continue to hurt others by stereotyping them. To freshman Anthony Ramirez stereotyping is, \u201cGrouping and judging people because of the way they look, dress, what they believe in or even how they talk.\u201d When thinking of stereotypes many may come to mind. When junior Nadia Baca thinks of stereotyping, she thinks \u201cAsians are smart, black people run fast, all Mexicans are illegal immigrants, Americans are fat, French people smell and are rude, all British people are obsessed with tea and all people from the Middle East are terrorists.\u201d To freshman Daisy Lewis, however, she thinks of different types of stereotypes. \u201cScene, goth, prep, jock, emo, loser, nerd, loner, stoner, outcast, and geek are the ones that I hear the most throughout the day.\u201d With the many types of stereotypes, many feelings and emotions are sure to come with.<\/p>\n

Judging people based on their looks or a first impression of them may be hurtful.\u00a0 Freshman Lauren Wiegand feels stereotypes are hurtful and can affect someone in a negative way. \u201cIt can really affect someone because it can be really derogatory and hurt their self esteem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bullying is a word that may come to mind for some when they think of stereotyping. \u201cStereotyping can be calling someone a geek when they don’t want to be. Being mean to someone in any way is bullying,\u201d said Wiegand. Wiegand is not the only person in the PHS student body that feels this way. \u201cOf course bullying comes to my mind when I think about stereotypes. When someone is stereotyped, they\u2019re put into a specific \u2018group\u2019 based on their physical appearance.\u201d However, not all PHS students feel bullying relates to stereotyping. Junior Grace Hilty does not think stereotyping is a form of bullying others. \u201cStereotyping is just your first impression of someone based off of information that you have already know or have heard. It\u2019s not like you’re intentionally trying to make someone feel bad with stereotyping.\u201d There are a wide variety of feelings when it comes to stereotypes, and not everyone feels the same.<\/p>\n
