Stereotypes and Stereotyping - I Was a Teenage Brain :: Example Personal Narratives

Stereotyping - I Was a Teenage understanding   It was a Friday afternoon, and I was waiting for my history class to start. The students sitting some me were talking about a big party that a girl was having that night. A guy sitting across from me turned and driveed me if I was termination to go to the party. Before I could answer him, he broke in and said that I would probably go home, do my home lay down and poll all night. That Friday is one time I remember very salubrious(p) that being stereotyped as a brain limited what I could do. Just because I was non going to be at the party, it fazed me that my classmates assumed I would be at home studying. His assumption was caused by the characteristics associated with the stereotype of a brain.   A brain is a person who does comfortably in school, gets good grades, always has their homework completed and wants to be on top. A brain is usually neat and organized. People wrongly conjecture brains spend all o f their time studying and doing homework. They think brains do not care about their appearance and are not involved in athletics. A brain is expected to wear thick glasses held together with tape, wear a pocket protector, be skinny and zit-faced and always retain a calculator. A brain is usually associated with not being well dressed and being unattractive. Television and movies feature helped contribute to this unattractive photographic film of a brain. Some examples are Screech from Saved by the Bell, chant from Growing Pains and Steve Urkel from Family Matters.   I think the reason that people go placed me in the stereotype of a brain is because I have done well in all of my classes throughout school. I like to learn new things, and school is not very difficult for me. I always hated to get a test back because my classmates would ask what I sure on the test. When I showed them my A, I knew they resented that I had received a better grade than they did. The y did not understand that I had to work hard to earn the A. Because of my good grades, I am stereotyped as a brain.
