Breaking Teenage Stereotypes - S5 E2
from Life Is The Future Hosted by Scott Todnem
Stereotypes: generalizations based on a group in which a person belongs. (Ex: race, age, gender, income, neighborhood, etc.) This week's 8th grade hosts, Saif and Julius partner up to interview classmates Aidan, Gareth, and Tytus. The five teens take on the topic of stereotypes in middle school and in life. This is always a recurring conversation year-to-year, and for good reason. They bring up age, race, and gender norms, talking through peer pressure, drug use, older generations, and perceptions vs. reality of people with mental-emotional issues like ADHD and depression. RESOURCES: Gender Stereotypes from Teaching Tolerance Racial Stereotypes from Simply Psychology Breaking Stereotypes from National Women's Law Center How Middle School Kids Reject Stereotypes from MiddleWeb Talking About Race & Stereotypes in School from Edutopia Tune in next week as our other two hosts, Ava and Dinora, take over with a new topic and a new set of guests.
