Prejudice D (B.Q) Blog

People much older than I am think that people my age are all less mature than they were and we are far more irresponsible. I think that they forget how they were when they were a kid. Truth is, it's a different time with different kids. Nowadays  there are celebrity kids doing drugs and drinking alcohol, so they immediately connected their behavior to ours. They need to see through that. They would be angry if we say that they are old and complain too much. I'm pretty sure that they did the so called “childish” games when they we teenagers too. They have been though alot which helps your mind mature. We are still learning and our minds are just beginning to mature. I think they need to respect our goals as a teen and stop judging us.
Older people are on the computer complaining about us being on the computer. This make the all hypocrites. On education.com a lady, that claims she is a “expert” on youth, writes an artical about how the youth is on the computer to much. When she is the one on the computer writing it. She also says “that is our problem” in the same article. Another older man from youththesourse.com thinks he is doing right by trying to figure out “why we are the way we are” and “what we are missing”. I think this man is putting us down and judging all of us based on a couple of us. This is completely unfair. If we said all older people hate technology the one that love it will get mad. Same with us the judge our whole generation of a few kids our age. Now we are mad. They all think that if life was hard for them it needs to be hard for us.

I feel that they just need to give us younger people some room. Judging like they are is not how people should be. This is not different than judging the poor or someone with a different color. Prejudice is a candidate for the thing that are going to destroy us humans. Not just older people but all different people need to stop being prejudice.

Prejudice Of People In Philadelphia

Please view my introduction Voice Thread

People who live in other cities think that people in Philadelphia are horrible. I chose this topic because I am from Philadelphia. I don’t understand why some people think that people in Philadelphia are not nice. I feel that some of the people who say that people from here are horrible are wrong. Most people here are nice so the people who say they are not are wrong

The people here are very nice; they have good manners and say please and thank you. So why would people from other cities say these things; maybe because they

just dislike people from Philadelphia. There are even websites dedicated to people hating Philadelphia. Some of the people who say mean things about people from here have probably never visited, just heard things. I don’t understand why though, the people from here are friendly.

Yes, there is a prejudice about people from here. Even though I have no facts about it, but I did find websites about the topic that mostly opinion based, I think I am right. I’m sure not everyone from other cities hates people from here. I believe that the people from here are not horrible. Philadelphia a great place, it has a lot of history like the Liberty Bell, the Constitution was signed, the Declaration of Independence was written here. We also have a diverse culture here. Philadelphia is a great place to live.

“Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London, England, and the United Kingdom.” Many people who know of dubstep think that this does not allow talent when in fact it does in some cases. Some talents that would be beneficial for making this type of music would be being able to play drums or a keyboard. Then in some cases people just use a computer with a special type of software.

Some of the opinions that I found on this topic are many people do not like this genre. Some people can be very close minded when talking about this like in some cases saying that only “idiots” listen to it or people who don't have good taste in music. I would say for starters I don't believe that there is an actual bad taste in music. Music was made for all people to enjoy so no matter what kind of music you listen to I would not consider you having a “bad taste”. One of the artist of this genre named Skrillex has won three grammys. He has also been nominated for many other awards.

One thing that I wanted to get through to people about this article is not to be so close minded about dubstep. Before you say such negative things about it educate yourself. I can see why some people don't like it because at first I didn't like it much. I believe that the prejudice does exist.

People who go to other schools think that people who go to St.Gabriel School

People who go to other schools think that people who go to St.Gabriel School

are poor and have no money because the school is in a  bad neighborhood, but some people think we are good kids and well behaved.When we play other schools in sports they think we are a bad group of kids because we always get into each other faces.

In my opinion, kids from St Gabriel are kind and like to help out in and out of school. At our school, we are good and smart because the teacher pushes us to try our best in whatever we do.The teachers do not give up on us.

I believe that the prejudice is  valid because there are people out there who don't like people who go to St Gabe’s.There are adults and children who don’t like adults and children who go to St.Gabe’s. If given the opportunity, people will see what we are truly made of at St. Gabriel School!

Prejudice against people who listen to metal, rock, etc..

Please view my introduction voice thread

People who don’t like metal, rock, or other genres similar to these like I do have many opinions on other people. Some people do say things about people who listen to music that they don’t particularly like. I do think there is a prejudice against people who do listen to it. To some people it can be mean and hurtful and in most cases untrue.
Some opinions I found are that people who listen to this type of music are emo( if you don't know it is what some people refer to others who listen to thins music), scene( this is also what some people refer to other who listen to this music), depressed, antisocial, are mad at the world, hate everything, and self harm. Also, what was said is everyone who listens to this has long black hair, only wears black, and has a bunch of tattoos and piercings. People also assume that they are atheists, worship the devil, and are going to hell. This is not true. Yes, there are people who listen to this music that do self harm, are depressed, and all the other things I have stated, but it is not everyone. I listen to this music a lot and I have never harmed myself, I am not mad at the world, and I don’t hate everything. Some people do have tattoos and piercings, but not everyone does. I don’t have any. Also, not everyone worships the devil and is not atheist, like I’m Catholic. It is said that if you listen to it you have a bad music taste. I don’t think it is true. Music is made for people to enjoy. If you don’t like a certain type of music then just don’t listen to it.  
To me it is a prejudice because people are stereotyping others. Most of the things people say about these people is not true and unfair. People should just leave their opinions to themselves and let people be!.

Prejudice is Alive in the hearts of adults to teens!

Please view my introduction Voice Thread 

People that are much older than me think that people my age are irresponsible and lazy.  Some people say that we don’t listen and that we’re all disrespectful. I think they’re wrong. Not all of us are rude and disrespectful. Most of us are not like that . Some elders say we’re all immature and that we aren’t very wise about our choices. I feel like people shouldn’t judge us just because they’ve met one person who is rude, arrogant, or never makes the right choice. I feel like there is too much prejudice coming from elders and that they assume too many things about us. I also feel that prejudice is mean and horrid. Especially if it is used against a minor. I will be proving that this kind of prejudice does exist in the world.

A lot of people think that kids my age are immature and just careless because I’ve seen adults call kids immature because of their silliness or because they’re just laughing at something that adults think isn’t funny. Prejudice can affect all people, not just kids. It can affect all ages and harm all people mentally and possibly physically. Prejudice can cause peoples’ self-esteem to lower. It can cause them to think that there is something wrong with them when there’s really not anything wrong with them. One person posted on the internet that she thought teenage girls who wear makeup look ridiculous. She is very prejudice on the way most teenage girls dress too. Tony from the UK says that kids use too much slang when they talk. Tami from Ireland says that teachers says the kids there are untrained. Another person named Stevan R. says that kids dress ridiculously these days. Some adults say that kids mess around too much and that they don’t care about anything or anyone but themselves. There really are no facts that connect to adults being prejudice against young kids, but from all the opinions and the things I’ve seen happen, I think it’s very convincing and possible that adults are prejudice against young kids.

I think the kids are just trying to be themselves and express themselves. Some adults don’t understand that prejudice can make a huge effect on kids’ lives. I feel like adults are very wrong being prejudice against anyone. Adults have also been giving kids labels. This kind of prejudice is happening all around the world because I’ve seen it happen and many other people also said it happens. I don’t like the fact that this is happening, but it is. Prejudice is not something someone should encourage because I know they wouldn’t want that happening to them. This kind of prejudice is also valid because people just can’t keep their feelings to themselves or they’re just plain mean. I honestly don’t understand why people use prejudice especially if they know it hurts others. I despise when people put labels on others because of the way they dress or from the way they act. Don’t judge, even if you think you know a lot about that person. Prejudice can cause too much tension and I strongly believe it should not be used.

Prejudice about music exists

Please view my introduction Voice Thread

People who don’t like rap and dubstep think people like me who do like this kind of music are prone to do alcohol and drugs. They think that we are depressed. I don’t think that’s true because I don't do drugs or drink alcohol. I don’t have an addiction to weed or any types of drugs. I think they all should allow everyone to listen to whatever speaks to them.

People say that rap is setting a bad example for young children. I find this to be an opinion because I've been listening to rap since I was about seven years old but kids have minds of their own and they also know right from wrong. I don't think you’re going to see seven year olds buying guns and selling drugs because songs say thats what got them rich. I found that people say that rap makes you only think about money, sex and drugs. I know many people that listen to rap music. I asked them what they thought about it. They said they think about their futures. Some said they think about money because they wanted to become rich in life.  “Rap makes children of all ages think there aren’t any consequences for their actions.” I think about most things before I do things and many people make wrong decisions at times but we all have to experience the worst to get to our best. Dubstep makes you depressed? Wrong, because it gets people like me pumped before basketball games and other sports. Dubstep is just a bass driven electronic music. If dubstep was such a terrible type of music Skrillex wouldn’t have won a grammy.

I know prejudice is very valid because there are many people that think all  these things about people that listen to rap and dubstep.  I think this prejudice is very idiotic and childish because we shouldn’t be judged by what we do in our lives or what we listen to. I think the world would even be better without everyone putting their opinions in other people’s lifestyles.

Teens vs. Older People

Please view my introduction voice thread

What do people much older than I am think that people my age?  I feel that the people as old as me are lazy. We spend too much time on the internet, stay up too late. We act immature, and we party to much. I believe some of these things are true; But a lot of the time we are stereotyped.
Some of the facts I found were that the majority of teens don’t get the 8 1/2 to 9 1/2 hours of sleep because of the internet. It has also been said that teens are on the computer for 31 hours a week. I feel that one major reason teens are on the internet and not playing outside is because of the crime rate. In today’s world it is very dangerous to go outside. You have to be afraid of getting beat up or getting your belongings stolen from you. That is why I feel so many of us turn to the internet or video games because when you are in your house you don’t have to be afraid of getting into trouble. Older people should look at that because when they were our age it was safe to go out and play and that was all they had to do. Now this is all what we have to do.
In conclusion, I feel that a lot of the time older people don’t look at how much the times have changed. Many older people are very one sided and only want to hear what they feel like hearing. I think they should open up their eyes to the new generation and see what is out there new to learn.

Teen vs. People Older Than Them

Please view my introduction Voice Thread 

People much older than I am think that people my age tend to be immature. They say we blame others for all our problems, but some of us are responsible and act mature get generalized with the kids who are not like that. We, as teenagers are generalized. Our behavior is blamed on peers, television, movies, and video games.
The teenage years are very experimental. It is a time when we are trying to find out who we are and where we fit in. I want to be independent but I also want boundaries. I will try different things like piercings, dyed hair, music, and maybe drugs, alcohol and maybe even sex. Some of this behavior may seem very strange to our parents and other adults, but this is normal behavior. I change my appearance because it is important to me, and keeping up with the trends, makes me feel accepted. I may withdraw from family activities and hanging with friends because they are more like me than the adults in my life. You think that I have nothing to worry about but some days I don't like myself or anyone else.
The generalizations about people my age are just that - generalization. I believe that older people should take the time to get to know me. I am funny caring, and bright and I may teach you something. People see us as spoiled brats, but that is an unfair opinion. I or any teen that you may know deserves to be treated as an individual. I may fall into peer pressure and/or alcohol. Some kids do get addicted but I am telling you if you notice a difference in my behavior and mood make me aware of it. Just ask me what is going on sometimes.

People much older than I am think that people my age are not capable of doing the things that older teenagers do. We aren't as fun as them, but they have to realize we are kids we are reckless just like some adults but we don’t do as many bad things as them. We are able to do anything they do so I don’t know why they think they're so much better than us. The kids these days actually know how to have fun without always getting in trouble all the time.
Another thing about adults is that if we don’t drink beer or smoke cigarettes we’re just a waste of their time. They won't do anything with us because we are nothing like them. I'm not saying that’s all of them but three fourths of them are that way. People think we have to do drugs to hang with them. When they were kids that’s how they might have had to do things. The neighborhoods are starting to change. When I become older I will make sure that if the kids want to hang with we us older teenagers they can. I also want to make sure that when they are in trouble they don’t hide from their wrong doings. I will teach them how to protect themselves from anything harming them. Also, I will treat all of them like they're my own brother.
I am starting to realize that older teenagers aren't that much more fun than us. We all act the same, nobody is special.  Kids should be eligible to hang with who they want and how they want no matter what their age is. I hope people start to realize not to be prejudice and just let them be.
