made. Whether they concern age, gender, race, class and so on, it does not matter. Stereotypes are always made in some form or another, some can be referring to positive aspects, while others can be bad. Whether good or bad, stereotypes should not be made, if a person has not met someone, they shouldn't presume to know them or their 'type'. No two people are identical and so they should not be treated as though they are. Many people have similar interests and characteristics, but not identical.

As I said before, everyone is an individual and so should be treated as one, and not just as 'one of them'. The reason I think this is because I know that I wouldn't like it if someone treated me the same as other people who are nothing like me. I know that I'm not a 'Druggie' or a 'Know all' and so I do not want to be treated the way people treat these sort of youths. I
