Yeah, I'm gay.

Oh? Yeah! Of course I have AIDS just because I'm gay! NO

And, yeah, I always hit on every guy I see. NO

Of course! I just love being called a queer. I mean, it makes me go all hot when someone walks up to me and says "Hey! Faggot!" NO

No, I don't know your gay friend in the US... Or Canada... Or Sydney...

I hate being introduced as "My gay friend". I mean, I'm pretty smart, too. Why can't I be "My smart friend?"

I don't know Madonna off by heart. Or Cher, for that matter.

No, saying "That's gay" is not okay.

I like fashion.
And shopping.
And I love having straight friends.
I feel hurt when people ignore me just becaus I am what I am.

Yeah, I'm gay. But that doesn't make me me. I'm Francois.
Same old Francois.

Stereotyping pisses me off. What gives them the right to say things like that because of what one is? what difference does it make?! Of course, they wont see it like that...

No. They see me as an AIDS ridden, sick, possed queer.

We dont see you like that. -I know you've already heard this but its good to be reminded that your not alone-

I hate it.

I do too.
It hurts people.
Why?

Why what?

Why do people say that?

Sorry mental blank -thats what happens when I pull allnighters all the time D:-

If I knew the answer to that, I'd be a very lucky persopn because I'd have the power to stop it. -sigh- I dont know what they get out of it by doing it. Its so unfair!

Stereotyping sucks. <--- All I can say.
































Oh, wait, here's more: It's unfair.

Do you get stereotyped?

Who? Me?

Yeah, you?
Have you ever?

No, I haven't had t happen to me, but I've seen it happen to others.

This is exactly my point! Just because of what we are, doesn't mean we're any different to our "old" selves.

So very true.

Got stereotyped before when I went out with some friends.
Apparently since I stand up for the gay people who get bullied, I must be one to.
And because I wear 'short shorts' I must be a cheap and easy whore.
Oh another thing, yeah, I read novels about physcopathic people kidnapping and murdering particular people, so I must be a physcopath too.

Thats the same with me im bipolar and i used to cut my wrists so now no one will talk to me and the keep giving me all these weird looks like im about to go crazy and kill everyone in sight!

Wow...
And Spencer... How do you cope with that?

I hate sereotyping.

What do you mean? how do i cope with being bipolar or with other people?

Other people. Being bi-polar is nothing to be ashamed off. you were born that way.

Very true.

I don't no i normally keep to myself a lot anyway but i go to a councillor and that helps ALOT if someone annoys me so bad i just cant cope id tell someone because the people who care for you most will always help you the most, thats the main thing i have leant so far.

Amen.
That's the one way.

The one thing I hate the most about stereotyping, is the fact that if you try to get them to back off, your just labelled as something else.

I hate it

Its just so unfair.
You bite back? your considered a physco.
You try to get them to stop? your considered a desperado.

I'm considered a helpless idiot.

I'm considered a whore.

Umm...
Bebé...
Your thirteen.

thanks for pointing that out.

And you're already considered a whore?! It's just off.

You dont say.
Doesnt stop them from saying it.
Nothing does..

Why do they call you a whore?

Seriously? I dont know the logic behind it, most likely because there isnt.

I have serious mood swings about it.
One day I just wanna cry,
Next day I dont give a shit.

Don't give. It's a great way to go.

Thanks.

I had a friend who got called a whore by this chick and she broke her nose then she got expelled

That's brilliant!

ikr!

Oh we'll....

Nice.

Yeah, we'll...

I don't understand blonde jokes at all, I mean, why should we blondes be dumb just because of the colour of our hair? It makes no sense to me at all.

Ima blonde, and I'm like, amazingly smart XD okay maybe not amazingly..

But in all my tests I havent gotten lower tn 92% so that has to count for something right?

Haha, totally Sky! But honestly, why are we stereotyped as dumb?

Okay, I should be back in a little bit, I have to have a shower.
