Stereotyping

A stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.



I am a ginger, which means I am just assumed to be a soulless anti-sun freak of nature. Stereotyping  is really insulting to anyone, no matter how offensive it is. Especially when it comes to the summer; people tell me I need an SPF 50+. Really? I use a 15 and I'm fine. I absolutely can not deal with people stereotyping. It really gets to me because being a ginger is a cool thing. You kinda get to be in your own little gang, and everyone gets along. It's when people practically tell me that I am pretty much a monster, that's when you cross the line. The line gets damaged when you continue mocking. I thought you were a sun goddess. Wow; I can tan, but I don't sit in the sun for hours at a time and intentionally burn myself; everyone has a limit.

If you are reading this, and you are different from the others (maybe race, hair color, religion) or whatever the case may be; Be yourself. People will make fun of you for your differences, but don't let it affect you. 

 We were put on this earth to make it diverse, and bring life, don't make us all one lump of awkward people. I have a soul, I can tan, I have freckles, I have a hot temper, but I make sure I stay true to who I am, and NOT fit the stereotype.

Love yourself the way you are!
