I know who I want to take me home

Stereo Types

What are stereotypes? Why do we have stereotypes? What gives people the right to label others?
Stereotypes are what people label others when they're afraid, scared, or some dumbass thinks it would be cool to be exactly like someone else. People get scared. Face it. They see a group of junkies on the street, in plaid, black leather and colored hair and think "oh my god, are those punks?! RUN! they'll turn you into anarchists!" what gives people the right to say who i am? what i am? How the HELL does anyone know who i am? Someone see's some well dressed kids, with a short hair cut, and a fleece sweater and its automatically "oh god, here comes some more preps". for all you know the kid in sweater could be listen to heavy metal, and go to raves. Just because someone saw a group of people who look different, act different or speak different, told people that they can lebel them, when they may be excaxtly like them. People label you before they even know you. That so called punk may listen to nelly, and play golf. And what gives people the right to say what a punk, or a prep is? or a scrub? grung? goth? its not their choice. just because you wear black, or you think anarchy is cool, or you wear khakis, or even if you dye you hair. people are labeling you. When its not even true. Why have labels? no one is exactly the same. Woohoo, people say im punk because i dont give a shit about what people think of me, or because im a smartass. well guess what. IM NOT. I'm ME... i'm not anyone else, im not a punk, im not a prep. I'm whatever the hell i want to be. There is no such thing as a punk, or a prep... because no one is the same. There are people are their lackies. No-one, has the right to say what anyone is, but themselves.
