The assignment: "In the modern world, first impressions are more important than ever. What is your appearance telling others about you, and is it true? Identify which of the typical high school stereotypes you fit into (jock, nerd, prep, etc.) based on your clothing, music, and extracurricular activities, then compare typical assumptions about this stereotype to your own personality." I have no idea what stereotype I fit into. My clothing: -pants: mostly colored skinny jeans (I've got purple, electric blue, black, gray, normal blue denim, and hot pink. On the lookout for yellow :]) -skirts: knee-length, flowy, patterned skirts (like the ones they sell at Forever 21.) -dresses: knee-length, flowy, and patterned again! A lot of times I wear dresses to school with t-shirts underneath and sneakers. -shirts: mostly graphic tees in bright colors. Some have 'save-the-world' or peace sort of sayings/pictures on them, but for the most part it's just like a bright shirt with a random bright graphic on it. Sometimes I wear tank tops with jackets, but mostly tees. -jackets: zip-up hoodies, patterned (zebra print that fades blue to purple to pink to white, gray with hot pink paint-splattered-ness, music notes, like that.) -shoes: converse (black high tops, yellow low tops, gray low tops, used to have clear low tops but they're so worn out I'm not allowed to wear them anymore.), ballet flats. If I wear heels (which is not often. I'm 5'8" and feel like an amazon in heels.) they're either these red ones with white polka dots and bows, or these ones that are half black half white (black outside half, white inside half.) -accessories: always wear 2 peace sign necklaces and about 8 peace/friendship/duct tape/hemp bracelets. Sometimes brightly colored big bead bracelets/necklaces, stud earrings. I like patterned tights (like as in fishnett-ish-ness woven into patterns, not like printed on). I always wear a hair bow or ribbon of some sort (one day I didn't and people kept asking if I'd gotten a haircut haha.) My nails are usually painted hot pink and/or black, usually patterned somehow (striped, checkered, etc.) -an outfit I would absolutely love: http://www.polyvore.com/love_t his/set?id=6606765 -an outfit I have and do absolutely love: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/ap p -hair: it's very very curly (little ringlets.) and I leave it that way. About shoulder length, and I've got side bangs (like not the type with a side part then the bangs, like no part and bangs like the sort most girls have in elementary across the whole fron but longer and like to my lips so I sweep them over to the side). My hair's brown, and I've never dyed it. -makeup: does chapstick count? My music: -Cobra Starship -Bayside (they are amazing. Probably my favorite band. Look them up!) -Queens of the Stone Age -once in a while Fall of Troy, depending on my mood -Ludo -Led Zeppelin -AC/DC -Pink Floyd -Nevershoutnever! -Wolfmother -mostly rock and alternative, I guess. Extracurricular activities: -MUSICAL THEATER. -voice lessons -dance (mostly ballet, but this year I've started tap and musical theater dance) -acting -activism (I'm into a group at my school helping raise money/awareness for the war in Northern Uganda and supporting a school over there, and I'm big into peace rallies/marches/all that, raising awareness, supporting causes however I can.) -I write songs. a lot. but I haven't told anyone because I'm pretty much sure they'll hate my songs and make fun of me, and I just don't really want to deal with that. -piano (not well yet, just started this year.) -trying to teach myself guitar. So, how would you stereotype me? :] thanks a lot!

just totally bored and curious....and i know some people want to write "why do you want to be in a stereotype?" and such, but i dont like stereotypes, or anything...this question was just out of utter bordom and curiosity....NOW, i have friends from a few different groups of people, such as: -lots of artsey people -quite a few people in band -goofey people always making jokes -a few really lazy people who dont do their work, or anything -and a couple of emo-ish punk people(not many, though) about me: -i listen to super eclectic music(like, from linkin park, the red hot chili peppers, to the beatles and other old music) -my style is very strange and different from most people....layering weird prints together, and really crazy accessories like a tiny converse as a necklace, and cocktail sword necklaces) -i love art! i do alot of fashion designing and such, and want to major in fashion design -my grades are mainly B's and a couple A's -i dont do alot of texting, or typical teenage stuff -and i like to write fiction stories sometimes okay, i never said to diss my taste in music people! i mean seriously?

Let's examine this article: http://www.cddc.vt.edu/feminis m/mar.html The writer is probably lesbian, upper middle class (and thus doesn't even comprehend class struggle), professional student, and an environmentalist (but her carbon foot print is larger than the average American, I bet). Sometimes you just have to call it how it is.
