What some people do not realize is that when you label somebody, you may not think that it affects them, but deep down it could really hurt them. People tend to take everything personally and when someone gets labeled negatively, that could lead to a low self-esteem, low self respect and maybe even suicide. Labels are more intense today than they were in the past years. Throughout high school teenagers are labeled within five categories: jocks, prom queen, geek, loner, and “friendly”. Some people do not like their label and hope that when they leave high school that their label will disappear, but then there are other people that do not want to leave their label behind. The kind of people that do not and to leave their label, are scared what the real world is going to label them, and this should not be an issue.

One Tree Hill goes on and talks about some of the characters issues with labeling and how it affected them. Labeling is one of the many themes that make up this series and in reality it is a huge

I am a 9th grade student at the Central East High School. Our English class recently read and watched your article on “High School Tanning Grounds”, and as a class discussed how we felt about it, and rather we agree or not. I agree with you, there are many labels that exist in high school, and after reading this article I have a better perspective on how someone can be labeled. What really stuck with me was when you said, “No wondered so many of my people spit bars because the truth is too hard to handle.” This stood out to me because it is so true.
In my 8th grade experience everyone was labeled and that usually would determine who you would hang around or are friends with. Some people thrived

I rarely label people for their looks or financial status. I just leave them alone. If they don 't call me names i 'm not gonna call them names. I have heard people call others names and stereotype people. I have heard people 's stereotypes and believed they were true, but i eventually would notice that it was a lie.

Labeling a person by his or her disorder is very harmful because the individual can take it really personal. A person with a disorder that is constantly labeled could end up making him or her feel isolated from others. Also, the person may end feeling abnormal or not the same as an average human due to being constantly reminded about the specific disorder. Therefore, rather than thinking negative about a person with a disorder people should try to find something positive instead. According to Berardinelli, “When she follows the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole and into Wonderland, it is as much to escape from reality of her current situation as it to visit a new world” (1).

One of the biggest things that might take a bit longer
The media has long played a role in influencing how people construct and perceive the world. Media has influenced how people construct their thoughts, most often their perception towards someone. Youth in particular, have been presented in a variety of ways in the media. Although teenagers are portrayed differently as an individual, based upon characteristics and personality, the media is constructed to sell certain ideologies of youth or the youth culture in general to the audiences and then to the society. The media promotes both, diversity and conformity when representing the youth culture in the media but in my opinion, conformity reigns superiority.
