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

Stereotyping - I Was a Teenage Brain   It was a Friday afternoon, and I was waiting for my history class to start. The students sitting around me were talk of the town about a big party that a girl was having that night. A guy sitting across from me turned and asked me if I was going to go to the party. Before I could answer him, he broke in and say that I would probably go home, do my homework and study all night. That Friday is one time I remember very well that beingness stereotyped as a brain limited what I could do. upright because I was not going to be at the party, it bothered me that my classmates off-key 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 well in school, gets good grades, unendingly has their homework completed and likes to be on top. A brain is usually neat and organized. People wrongly think brains cast all of their time studying and doing homework. They think brains do not condole with about their appearance and are not involved in athletics. A brain is expected to befool thick glasses held together with tape, wear a pocket protector, be skinny and zit-faced and always have a calculator. A brain is usually associated with not being well urbane and being unattractive. Television and movies have helped contribute to this unattractive picture of a brain. Some examples are Screech from Saved by the Bell, Carol from evolution Pains and Steve Urkel from Family Matters.   I think the reason that people have lay me in the stereotype of a brain is because I have make well in all of my classes throughout school. I like to withdraw 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 received on the test. When I showed them my A, I knew they resented that I had received a better grade than they did. They did not understand that I had to work touchy to earn the A. Because of my good grades, I am stereotyped as a brain.
