I will have one or two friends as well as myself discuss stereotypes according to an agreed list. Since I have more time and will not need people to introduce themselves as in interviews, I can go into more aspects of teenage stereotypes. In particular, I'd like to discuss the way adults sometimes view teenagers - uncontrollable forces of nature, who must be excused if they do things wrong and never listened to when they do things right since they are hot-headed. I would like to have an adult come on the sitcom, but I don't know who I could ask.
Here are the subjects we will be talking about:
- How teenagers are often viewed by adults
- Why this stereotype originated, why it sometimes fits and sometimes doesn't
- Stereotypes within teenagers - where do they come from?
- How being considered a jock/nerd/prep/tomboy/geek/outcast might affect your life
- Are these stereotypes ever useful? What kind of effect do they have?
- What we can do to overcome them? Should we overcome them?
- How may stereotypes abroad differ from stereotypes in typical high schools?
- Which sort of stereotypes may disappear or emerge in the future?
