They've never been a real issue but I still catch myself labeling people....I don't mean to it just happens. Then again the stereotypes at my school are for the most part true.
I am the same age and I have noticed the large decrease in stereotypes. When I was at school it didn't matter no more, people knew who eachother were. Even though, teenagers thought that they were mature back then, they weren't, but we are now. I guess. I am betting a world of little, teenie', groovers are having wars on stereotypes right now.
