This is how you write a great essay. You have to have a big point to make, and info to back it up.

First, you write about the need for your point. You mention that, then you sum up an idea of what you are going to say.

Then you say it. Back it up with specific points that cite important thoughts or quotations that are credible to the reader.

Finally, you restate what you just said, summing it all up.

That is a perfect essay. If it’s clear and persuasive, good job, you just won an essay contest.

Stereotypes hurt because people make up their minds about you before they even know you. Some races are called lazy, some ethnic groups are considered greedy or stupid, etc. Think about it and you will be able to figure it out. Would you want to be judged on the basis of a stereotypical teenager?

Are you blonde? If you are, how does it feel to know that people may think you’re an idiot because of it? If you’re not, do you think boys won’t like you inless you are?

You’re a girl, so how does it make you feel that guys might think you can’t drive? Or that you have to clean the house and do the laundry but guys don’t?

Think of a stereotype that applies to you. Are you Jewish? Then you’re a tightwad and have cash stashed away. Are you African American? Then you MUST be good at sports. Are you Asian? Math and science must be soooo easy for you.

It’s not just individuality at stake. People may assume you’re good at something that you couldn’t do if you tried, or that you can’t do something just because you’re white, or Muslim, or wear glasses.

What do people think about you just because of your race? Because you’re a girl? Because of your religion? And how does it make you feel?

Ok well, normally its judging someone in an unfair way and as you said taking away their individuality, giving someone an unfair evalation, discarding an individuals personal thoughts and beliefs. I know this isn’t too much but I hope it helped.

They hurt feelings because people always label others

And they just shove someone in a category like “prep” or “loner” or “poser” or “emo/goth” or “popular” “fat” “ugly” “loser”

etc.

And people just judge them from the appearance not about how they really are.

And some people consider others to be “popular” and others to be “losers” or “not popular” so that kinda hurts there feelings?

i hope that helps!

if you have some time can you PLEASE help my with MY question?

thanks
