Stereotypes Of Middle School
Three years ago we all walked in here with the same mindset, were in middle school! As sixth graders we were all scared eighth graders would shove us in lockers, just like in the movies. But middle school really isn't like that were friends with different people and younger ones and ones we never pictured being friends with as sixth graders. Most of our friends aren't the ones we grew up with in elementary school, but that made us realize who true friends really are. Throughout our middle school years, there were ups and downs of every situation but our teachers, parents, guidance counselor and friends stood by our sides through it all. Saying goodbye will be hard, we will all miss each other even though we might not think so. Our teacher

    Canin introduces the character of the narrator by describing his classroom as “a tribute to the lofty ideals of man, which I hoped would inspire my boys, and at the same time to the fleeting nature of human accomplishment, which I hoped would temper their ambition with humility” (pp. 156–157). This description establishes the important role Hundert sees himself playing in the lives of his students. He believes that the examples of history he teaches his students will help them to become future leaders, men with great ambitions who also possess humility. Hundert’s interactions with Senator Bell reinforce Hundert’s idealistic self-perception. When Hundert meets with the senator to discuss Sedgewick’s inappropriate behavior, the senator challenges…

    Getting to see everybody everyday can get tiring, in which you want out, but realizing that I'm going to actually graduate in 15 days, it makes me think of all the good times and how I’m going to miss not going to the same school as my brother, and having to make new bonds with new people nonstop and getting new teachers every year that could care more than others or not care as much, and to me 90% of a teacher's job, is caring for their…

    We all have encountered some type of stereotype or prejudices. A stereotype that I had to face was age prejudice by me being so young sometimes people don't set the high expectations for you that other people would at an older age because they expect for you to make mistakes. At times my mindset isn't where most kids are at my age. I skipped pre k and I am supposed to be in the 8th grade. When I tell people my age they be like " OMG you are young to be the grade that you are in" this is a perfect example of what I am stating that people sometimes think that you have to be average and can't go over and beyond your years.…

    In American society it is a social norm for women to be delicate and vulnerable, they are seen as too weak to do the same things men do. This was especially true during the time period in which the stories “The Yellow Wallpaper,” “Jury of her peers,” and “Story of an Hour” were written in. The characteristics of gender roles, shown through in each individual story and hint at the stereotypes that were places on women of that time period. These specific female characters don’t let those stereotypes define them, they break free and show their true strengths. Though their societies would suggest them fragile, the main characters -- Louise Mallard, Minnie Foster Wright, and the narrator of “The Yellow Wallpaper” -- respectively presented in the…

    I believe the biggest challenge college students face today is the fact that a lot of them are not mentally prepared. A lot of students do not realize that college is a whole new ball game. In high school some people do not really have to study to make an A, but in college you really have to work for just getting a B. Some students can go in with the mentality "well I was one of the best at my school, it is not going to be different in college" and that is what is wrong. Students in high school should have a week or two were they are graded as if they were in college just to give them a taste of how much they have to work and how disappointing it may be for…

    As the United States becomes more diverse, colleges are seeing increases in minority students. However, this increase does not mean that the same number of students are leaving their college with a degree. Minorities face many challenges in college, some of which have persisted since elementary school. Although colleges try to diminish these difficulties by having different organizations where students can go to seek help, the students have already formed the mindset that they do not do as well as their white counterparts from micro-aggressions, learned thoughts and behaviors, and comparisons of resources.…

    In the world we live in today, there is a numerous amount of different types of stereotypes about people because of their skin color, heritage, and culture; the stereotype I have experienced constantly for the past sixteen years of my life has been that of attending a private Catholic School. I personally loved the atmosphere and the experience I had at my small school, and I would definitely do it all over again if I had the opportunity. However, I understand that each school is unique in all cases, whether it be its’ size, the kids, the teachers, the town it’s located in, and so on. As a student of the school, I have always been looked upon as either rich, spoiled, or in many cases, both. Although some of the things said about kids at private schools may be true, it is definitely not true for every student. Many of the kids that…

    How many articles, songs, movies and news stories have you seen or read that demonise teens? Now how many have you seen that praise and honour teens? The second question would be hard to answer because of how common it is for the media to ‘shame’ teenagers. After exploring several styles and examples of adolescents in the media, I have concluded that the way teenagers are represented is unfair and inaccurate.…

    Growing up as a girl can be difficult sometimes especially when you do not always want to follow the norms that society inherently forces on you. From young age, I loved sports and constantly being active. It was something that kept me content and would make me feel “like me.” Gym class was by far my favorite class in elementary school. I would look forward to the class, and would be one of the only girl in my class that would participate to best of my ability. Some of the other girls would also act the same, however there were a few who were not interested in athletics. Because of my constant need to be active when I was younger, I connected more with my male classmates. My best friend was a boy throughout elementary school. The girls in my…
