Labels

I think we use labels because it makes so people more comfortable about being bitchy to someone (even though that is a horrible thing). Example, if someone teased you about being emo or something and felt bad about it later, someone would say "Don't feel bad, it's just an emo their miserable all the time"

I hope that kinda makes sense.

My only problem with labeling is that it gives people an untrue opinion of others. For example, if a girl dresses "preppy," everyone automatically assumes that she is slutty, mean, and conceited. However, that girl could easily be one of the nicest people in the world/your new best friend, but because you were too busy judging her, you never would find that out. In short, labels cause people to be judgemental, which may eventually to prejudice, racism, etc.

i think using labels to describe people just gives others an excuse to be lazy and not get to know them as themselves. they just judge people on the babsis of what they wear or .

i often get called emo or goth. but im not trying to be either of those things, i just happen to wear a lot of black.

labels are used by people who like to put people into groups and say "you cna only hang out with people like that". I get called everything. emo, goth, and prep. The world would be so much better off without labels because you could be friends with a wider range of people. I especially hate poser. I used to always be this preppy zombie thing. But now I finally figured out who I am and I'm changing my look. People are obviously going to call me a poser. I'm just being myself and I'm sorry if you don't like it.
I didn't mean anything hurtful with the "preppy zombie" thing. I was just describing myself as I dressed like a prep and followed wahat everyon else did.

labels. i don't really care about them. some ppl at school call me emo (even though i'm like the smiliest person at school). some call me nerd. band geek. whatever. it's all stupid. the only labels we need are the ones we give ourselves because they're the only ones that are true.

i think the point of labelling someone is to attraction attention away from our flaws. it's a pathetic way of bullying.

don't let it get to you. it means nothing.

labelling can be a form of bullying if you let it get to you.
it doesn't bother me, but apparantly, it bothers most people.
it is sort of pointless, but i guess it's just an organized way to classify fashion, personality, interests, ect.

and it's annoying when people say, "Don't label me!" but then they go and say, "Oh, look at that prep!" or "Look, he's emo!" that kind of stuff gets on my nerves, no matter what the subject.

i will admit i do label once i get to know that person, or if they label themself. i also label myself. i don't say it to that person's face though. i usually try to keep mean thoughts inside my head so it won't hurt other people. but it's also unhealthy to hold anger inside... i'll get over it.

im always called an emo it really annoys me. Why cant people just except im being me if i want to listen to my chem and fall out boy and wear dark clothes then i will

lables are stupid. i meen everyone has a little of everything inside them right? like we're all a bit emo when we're sad, or a nerd when we study and do homework or do good on a test... we can all be loosers.... we can all be preppy if we're in a good mood... we can all be jocks if we play sports. so seriously whats the point? labeling is just like restricting someone from doing stuff....JUST BE YOURSELF!!

everyone is gonna hate me for saying this but i label myself quite alot
it gives me a sense of belonging

Labels annoy me, but people will always have them because its just how most people are

People just give other groups negative labels to make themselves fell superior, so yes, it is bullying, but don't let them know it gets to you because that's what they want.

the only thing i've ever been labelled was "emo". the guy i like always calls me emo..... but i got used to it so i just kick him.

i really dont like labelling... its wrong. people get bullied because of their labels. its like when people get murdered because of their sexual orientation. what if you got killed just because some people thought you were emo? i think labeling should be stopped.

How exactly is labeling supposed to be stopped, though? It's not as if everyone is just going to wake up one day and miraculously cease to label people. I agree that labeling can be used a tool for harassment, but other than that, you can't stop someone performing a perfectly normal psychological procedure. Which is what labeling is, pretty much.

Labeling people is stupid....you should let what is be as is

mindfuck.:

yeah i know... but i wish we could stop it.

At the end of the day however much it hurts people it's never going to be stopped.
I know it's not nice being labelled, i'm always labelled, but i don't think people should necessarily take a label as a bad thing.
It's on epersons opinion of you (mainly wrong) and if they say it in a bad way then there not someone you want in your life.

At the end of teh day it's one word that means nothing, and you just have to rise above ti and be proud of who you are.
