Do you believe that who you hang out with determines your stereotype.?

Question

By stereotype, I mean your stereotype(nerd,prep,jock) in school.
Do you think if you hang out with a certain group(nerd,prep,jock) than people stereotype you as one of them(a nerd, a jock, a prep)?

Answer 1

Yes. I have experienced this myself. When I was a bit younger, I was quiet and shy. I just hung out with whoever talked to me, and I happened to fall into the skank group. I didn't dress or act like them at all, but because I hung out with them, I was always called a whore or a slut by people who didn't know me, just because I hung out with them.

Answer 2

Yes. You can tell a lot about a man (or a woman!) by the company he (or she) keeps.



Stereotypes tap into kernels of truth; they are not precise reflections that allow for nuances of difference, but they do provide us with a key framework.

Answer 3

I myself do not think that stereotypes determine one's personality. However,being a high school student I am sad to say that many students,even some teachers see it that way.

Answer 4

Obviously.

Answer 5

No, I try to stay Consistent with my Stereotype; Not with others.

Answer 6

yes, but I used to hang out with band geeks and cheerleaders, art freaks and football players. I don't think though that "cliques" really mattered much in my high school.

Answer 7

Yeah, but stereotypes are stupid and if you honestly care about which one you fall under, that's ridiculous.

Answer 8

I don't believe in stereo types.

Answer 9

Yes/No
