Stereotyping

Stereotpying. Its everywhere, you might even be the who is stereotyping. Now some of you may say that it's not stereotpying, its ignorance. But there is a fine line between stereotyping and being just plain ignornant. Ignorance: Lack of knowledge or information: "he acted in ignorance of basic procedures." The stereotpying I will be talking about is: GLBT, Pansexual, Goth, Scene, and Emo. First off the NOT all gays carry little dogs, walk and talk feminine, and have sex all day. Lesbians are NOT lazy, masculine women who sit around getting fat. Bisexuals and pansexuals ARE very much different. Transgendered means that they believe they were not born in the right body. They don't feel comfortablein the skin they are in. Pansexuals, they believe in loving someone for their soul, not for them being female or male. They are NOT like bisexuals, bisexuals like both female and male, you could almost say they can't make up their mind. Goth stands for Gothic Death Rock (music type). Goths in general, just like to keep to themselves, they do like darker clothing, and dark stuff; but they don't murder animals, or have long black hair, and nail polish, or have black lipstick, and creepy long nails. That right their is a stereotype. Scenes don't always wear fake glasses and its not only scenes, girly-girls do it too. Not all scenes dye their hair the colors of the rainbow. And last but most definately not least, Emo's. Emo's stands for Emotive Hardcore (music type). Now Emo people themselves aren't lonely, have no friends, like black, and even worse...cut themsleves. You don't have to cut yourself to be emo, and you don't have to be emo to cut yourself. Just because some people may self-harm or more specifically, cut themselves doesn't mean they're emo. All those jokes about people who cut themselves. Its not a joke, its an addiction. All those jokes, when I hear them, it upsets me. Some people can't express sadness, or being upset like others.

And one last thing I'd like to share. If someone's "special" or mentally retarded. Jokes like your a retard or your retarded/that's retared, it's insulting. And if you you wouldn't want someone to call you that or make fun of you, then don't do it to others.

P.s. Don't stereotype! Learn about it before you make fun of yourself.

What Happens When...

  What happens when someone you used to be close with, slowly stops be close. You gradually and slowly start to drift away. One of you chooses to hang with someone else, the other watches behind the curtains. You don't care, you never cared; you always knew it wouldn't last forever. Then why do you feel this way? Is it because you feel alone now? No one understood you like they did? Because even though you hate to admit you miss them, and did need them, and you don't want to be alone. No one does.
