Stereotypes: join the debate

Are you a happy hippy that loves to hug trees and eat tofu? Or maybe you look like a goth but actually prefer Mozart to Marilyn Manson.

Read what our Your Say writers think about stereotyping: Emma Fowler gives her take on being an unconventional hippy whilst Danni Thompson is proud to represent a stereotype.

Whether or not you conform to a stereotype, how does it feel to be stereotyped? Do you enjoy challenging people’s perceptions of you or are you fed up of being banned from town centres just for wearing your hoodie?

What do you think? Join our debate and add your comments below.

stereotyping is just another form of Prejudice - giving people a particular label because of what they wear or the music they listen to. People become 'hoodies' or 'goths' because they feel alienated by society and want something to identify with.
