How can you be judged/discriminated against?

[BabyPiglet]

Got it from the CB. Thought it'd be interesting from the eyes of teenagers. So basically, you just put all the ways you could be judged/discriminated by.

I am white.
I am a female.
I am a part time cashier at Wal Mart.
I'm 16 and graduated highschool.
I was homeschooled.
I am not rich.
I am not poor.
I have fuzzy hair.
I'm average sized.
I am an atheist.
I am part republican and part democrat.
I live in a small town in the south.
I shop at Wal-Mart.
I do not shop at Hollister/A&F
I have a swimming pool.
I want to be a social worker.
I am taking a year off before starting college.
I believe in the right for gay people to marry.
I'm pro-choice
I have parents that smoke.
I have parents that don't drink.
I like to be with my family more than friends.

Guess that's it for now.

So, what about you. You can make the list as long as you like.

[DramaQueen]

EDIT: I decided to put reasons, because the list just looked like it needed that. lol


I'm white--I had a really hard time finding a scholarship to apply for because I'm not Native American, Black, ispanic, or South Asian. (or a member of the girl guides of Canada )

I'm a teenager--My BF & I went to visit his grandfather in a nursing home yesterday and all the nurses & the lady at the front desk looke d@ us like we were going to rob the place. At work people think I'm stupid because I'm not over 20 years of age.

I'm in University--Alot of te time people think I'm ridiculously smart. Which I'm not, I'm really struggling to keep my grades up. This isn't something I'm discriminated against, but I am judged for it.

I was Prom Queen--Take a guess at what every girl in my high school thought about me after this...

I (still) go to WDW all the time--My friends think I'm a huge dork. I could care less though. But I'm still judged for it

I have a serious, longterm boyfriend whom I love with all my heart--People often tell me that we're not 'really in love' because we 'aren't old enough'

Both my mom's father and my dad's father are millionaires
(the former won the lottery and the latter is self-made) --Again, not discriminated against, but judged big time. It got out in High School and for a while everyone wanted to be my friend. I'm not Tori Spelling, I don't live a charmed life like people on The OC. I have a job, I pay for mostly everything myself. But people in High School especially did judge me based on this.

I live in the suburbs--People who live in housing projects or less well-off areas judge because they think people that live in the suburbs are rich. People who live in well-off homes in the city think people who live in the suburbs are poor.

I'm Canadian--not really judged in a bad way though. Most people like Canadians

I work at a movie theatre--Because I'm behind the counter I'm stupid.

I'm a french & drama major--"And uhhh...what exactly are you planning on doing with that?" is one of the questions I hear most.

I was born in Quebec--People in Ontario for some reason HATE people from Quebec. I hear ALOT of trash talk, and people even say anti-quebec/anti-french things to my face.

I want to be an actor--which is apparently reaching far beyond my grasp.

I'm a free-spirited materialist--I've got a hippie attitude but I'm seriously mteriaistic. I'm sure people judge me if they see me walking down the street with a LV purse..."it must be fake"

I like to party--I'm a tramp

I've kissed boys that weren't my boyfriend--I'm a slut

I've had alot of boyfriends--I'm a trampy-slut

My best friend is a boy--we must be in love with each other.

I actually LIKE my body even though I'm not a size 2--I must be lying to myself.

I believe in God, but my own sort of God, not the church's God--I keep this to myself, but when I wear a cross necklace and someone asks me wear I go to church and I say I don't go to church I often get a weird look like they are thinking "Well then you have no right to be wearing that necklace". But only Gd can judge me...and I hope the God I believe in is exactly how I think he is.


I had that I was judged because I'm a female, but then I realized that it's not necessarily true, if anything,I think being a female in this day in age is beneficial.

[VolleyballQt07]

**I like Caitlin's idea of explaining her details...I'll do that too...sorry Caitlin!

I am white.

I am a teenage female.

I don't wear name brand clothes 24/7.

I don't have an IPOD--I have a ZUNE which I think is 10x better and everyone thinks I'm weird because of it.

I am healthy...meaning I wear normal sized clothes and I am not a stick--Sorry, I eat and I wear a 9/10-11/12 pant. And a L/XL shirt.

I am very shy around guys I like--Around Andrew, I'm quiet as hell and don't talk to him...around Alex, he'll eventually tell me to shut up for talking so much...

I always study for tests--OMG Im a nerd!

I take school and academics seriously--I actually want a chance to go to college thank you.

I am 100% obsessed with volleyball--I have put so much time, money, and effort into it its unbelievable.

I love Walmart--Sue me!

I like rap/hip hop music--I like the music.

I am Catholic.

I don't live in a HUGE house--I live in a split-level 3 bdrm and I share a room with my sister.

I am not rich like a lot of my friends/peers--I'm not a spolied little rich kid who has an IPOD, UGG boots, a closet full of name brands.

I am not poor.

I am new to my town--I just moved here last August...

I have a 6yr age difference between my next sibling.

I am not the prettiest--I try to look decent...I actually shower and wear makeup and I'm still not Miss America...deal with it.

I wear glasses occasionally--I can't see the board!

I love McDonalds--Grease...gah why are you so darn good? But I havent been there in a while...

I am a sports freak--I prefer sports over shopping...

So if you don't like me for those reasons, you're missing out on a whole lot!

 

[BabyPiglet]

Just like to mention that the point of this thread is just to realize other people have stories and feelings to. It's hard to explain, but I'm sure all of you guys get it.

 

[Axel]

I am female. While this isn't necessarily a place to be judged by itself, in alignment with some of my other reasons, it plays a big part.

I am white. I, like Caitlin, will have issues applying for scholarships because I am not a minority, nor do I have enough of a minority heritage to count as one.

I am more comfortable playing with the guys than the girls. I like to be rough. I like the fact that with guys they aren't going to start worrying about breaking a nail or getting a bruise.

I am a top-level athlete. I have been a varisty level volleyball player since my sophomore year. I have been a varsity track and field athlete since my freshman year. I can out throw all but 3 people on my team in every event and those three can only hold one event over my head.

I am a Satanist. I was born and raised Catholic. I converted to Satanism a little over a year ago because I don't like the teachings of the Christian church.

I work out because it's fun. The school weight room is my second home. I'm in there almost daily and I'm good friends with the trainer and the coaches.

I weight lift with the guys. This is in correlation to the above. I do lift with the boys and they know me well. We joke and have fun and I'm the only girl that dares to lift with them. All the other girls lift in their own corner and they only do it to get better bodies (they've told me so). I do it to improve my performance. I'm also the only girl that can lift at the same level as the guys.

I am bisexual. I have dated girls and guys. I get called slutty because I "can't choose, so I want to sleep with everyone".

I am smart. I get all A's and B's (with only 2 exceptions- Biology and Geometry last year).

I am in the top 10% of my class. I don't really know how, either as some of my friends have better grades than me, but aren't.

I love going to WDW. My favourite time of the year is when we travel to FL.

I am short. I am 5'3" and I am discriminated against in volleyball matches because I'm "not tall enough to be an effective player" (my freshman coach said that).

My body mass index (BMI) doesn't match what it should be and says I am overweight. I have more muscle than the average 5'3" person. I weigh 167lbs at my last weigh-in. At least 50lbs of that is muscle from working out. However, just by looking at me you wouldn't know it so people peg me as fat.

I like guys who are usually twice my age. There's something about their maturity. I have only ever crushed on 3 guys close to my age. The rest are near or over 30.

I like a sense of humor and brains over good looks and physique. If you can make me laugh, it doesn't matter what you look like and some of the people I've gone out with weren't exactly "lookers", but they were a lot of fun to be around and they could challenge me intellectually.

My favorite body type is the "skinny white boy" as my friends put it. While I like men with muscle who can make me feel safe, I have a soft spot for a boy who's skinny and pale.

I am a sado-masochist. I must be some sort of sex-fiend because I like giving and receiving pain. I'm not. It just doesn't bother me. It isn't superbly enjoyable, but I don't mind being in pain. It feels good, sometimes.

I take a perscription medication. I'm on celebrex for my feet and shoulders/back. People look down on me because that's an "old people drug".

I am straight-edge. I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, or sleep around. I'm therefore "prude" to some people.

I self-harm. I have since I was in 7th grade. It became a coping mechanism and therefore I am "weak". I'm not. Nobody will listen so I make sure that I'm alive. The adrenaline keeps me going.

I prefer the company of my friends over my family. I'd rather see a movie with them than my parents. They understand me better than my family. My friends are my family. Not the people who raised me who talk badly about gays and non-catholics. If only they knew.

The age difference between me and my next sibling is 22 years. My dad got divorced and then married my mom to have me. My sister is 38, my brother is 40.

I haven't seen my brother in 7 years. He refuses to believe I exist.

My dad is 62 and on Social Security. People think it's gross that my dad is that old.

that's about it. I'm sure there's more, though.
