It doesn't always seem so obvious does it? When someone suddenly changes who they, how they act, dress and talk? Imagine that "innocent" boy you knew down the road, popped into university for a while, and came home a master weed smoker. Or that cute girl you used to be friends with, who now puts on excessive makeup and goes to parties almost every night with her new friends because she was told that she isn't "pretty and fun enough" (This can be a controversial example).
It’s one thing to want to change for the better or try
something new. It’s something else entirely to want to change for the worse or
try something you know will never work for your best. I know how many times
I've been made fun of, underestimated or challenged because of the way I
present myself and act. I can’t really say I know the entire reason why so many
people find a lot faults in the things and ways I have. If however I were asked
I would say it all has to do with the issue and problem of the “stereotype”
