    Our stereotypes are weird. If you don’t have a pair of the latest shoes that came out you’re considered “Not cool” but to me I always think, not everyone has $170 to spend every month on a new pair of shoes. It’s dumb how people are judged on what they wear. Another stereotype about us Americans is “We’re destroying the planet.” Basically, other places like the UK think we litter too much, and we eject carbon dioxide.

    This is so true. people get made fun of or left out because of how they look. Nobody cares about getting to know them or thinking that personality matters anymore. Its all about having the newest name brand things.

    This is definitely true because certain types of people get made fun of for stupid reasons, like if you don't have new clothing for the new schools year, you're considered "old" or when you don't match, you're considered "weird." I believe people make fun of people because they don't know what to do with their OWN lives, or probably they got made fun of too and just wanted to take their anger out on other kids for no reason. Everybody is focusing on making everyone's day bad or seeing if they have new styles and expensive clothing. Most people don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on new shoes and people struggle with getting new clothes each year or new shoes.
