Thank you- finally someone gave me what I wanted to know.Real life example? Well... Usually labeling at my school involves one circle of friends not wanting to hang out with or talk to someone else because they don't have common interests, they don't dress like they do, or something different about them.
I get labeled the "emo girl" all the time. Even by my friends. Most of the time it's a joke, and other times, people are asking me seriously if I do cut, and that if I am depressed, I should go talk to the counselor.
Point being, I can't have a bad day without people jumping to conclusions, or my own friends making a joke out of it. And this is only because of my look and the music I choose to listen to.
Labels aren't going to stop in my middle school, I'm sure.
Just because of one circle of friends, we have cliques, and that's just... How it's worked. Some of it can be unfair, and it can be aggravating sometimes. But if somebody wanted to stop it all... People would laugh in their faces without a thought. -.-"
But is this really labels or just how people roll? It's not that people are just "sticking labels" but people in groups they are comfortable in don't usually venture out of.
