I think labels are rediculos.
It could be a form of bullying, but then again it could be a form of compliment to some people who were trying to get that label put on them for people to see them a certain way.
I don't need people labelling me thinking they no who I am. And I don't think that anyone, anywhere has a right to label ANYBODY. |

Posts: 234 | January 1st, 2008 at 08:50pm i dont understand the obsession with labeling and putting people into catagories.
simply put, it's completely pointless and not accurate.
labeling can definetly be called a type of bullying. whether it's new or not, it's definitely an ignorant way to bully people. |

-Not in the least! If people didn't ever start this fad, there wouldn't be a problem right now. I read this argument on one site about Nature vs. Nurture. I might get a few things mixed up, but the basic meaning is that if you raise your child not to judge people, then it's not a problem! But then there's the media problem that pops up. Even if you ban your child from any type of media drabble, they'll learn in schools or other public places. Labelling, stereotypes, and just plain hate is all around, making it harder then ever for parents to raise a child in a totally peaceful environment.
What do you think the point of labelling is?
-I think it's a way for people to group people of the same LOOKS to the same name. They need it so that their brains can place certain people with certain actions or words. Labelling probably wouldn't be a problem if people didn't tack on hurtful meaning and irrational assumptions.
Is labelling a good or bad thing?
-Honestly, it depends on where your located. But just generally I view it as a bad thing. It's basically people assuming that you like the exact same thing as the person next to you, just because you have similar taste in music or fashion. We're not clones of each other for Christ's sake!
Is labelling a type of bullying?
-Again, this is a general thing, but for the most part yes. The words "prep" "emo" "chav" "goth" or any others aren't usually meant as terms of endearment.
Although, not meaning to sound harsh, some people bring it on themselves. I've seriously seen people saying "Just because I wear tight pants, a lot of eye liner, dye my hair black, wear band tees, and cut myself doesn't mean I'm emo!" I saw somebody's comment (I can't remember who, exactly, sorry) that said they're treating the label as a new fashion and I totally agree with that. |

no, we do not.
What do you think the point of labelling is?
the point of labeling to me is just to place everyone into some separate group, keep them with their own type of people with the same type of thoughts and ideas.
Is labelling a good or bad thing?
it is a bad thing. it keeps people separated in a sense.
Is labelling a type of bullying?
not necessarily, unless it gets out of control such as gang violence or something to that effect.
labeling just keeps teens separated, as a way of saying "oh you don't like rock? well i don't want to hang out with you" even though the person deep down is probably one of the sweetest. i hang out with kids who don't listen to rock, yes it can be difficult but if other qualities are like yours then what is the sense of bitching? labeling gets people nowhere, it just causes more ruckus and problems. |

Posts: 2743 | January 10th, 2008 at 02:49pm I'm both for and against labels at the same time
Sometimes if you don't know a person that's the only way you can possibly describe them
Using labels when you have nothing else to go by is one things
Using them as an insult I'm totally against
It's stupid and immature
If you feel the extreme need to insult someone, at least come up with something better |

Posts: 26 | January 10th, 2008 at 10:01pm yeah but it depends on if your offended by it or if it dosnt bother you or if they go to extreams to let you know how much they think your a (insert label) and if they physically or mentally hurt you to prove they think there right...... |

Posts: 61 | January 13th, 2008 at 05:46am i hate labels personally. I for one am labeled emo. Everyday i have someone at school come up to me pretending to slit their wrists or giving me smart ass comments. I think it is very low for a human being to label another especially when it isn't true. What is even worse is when your friends start copying and labeling you just like the others. Labeling hurts to some. I don't see the point of it. |

Posts: 2 | January 17th, 2008 at 08:56pm labels are everywhere. simple. and i dont really think it's a form of bullying. there are heaps of labels in my school but i have practically managed to erase the "labels" from my life. I have been labelled many things in the space of two years. ie ... emo, goth, witch (that one was weird), prep, nerd, goody-good and cutter. oh and vampire  . if you play on it, like the vampire thing, i don't really care about people calling me that and people use it... but not in a mean way.
i don't know if any of this made snese but basically, if yuo don't bother about the label and be who you want, people will get over it. |

Posts: 2123 | January 17th, 2008 at 09:10pm I personally don't mind lables but sometimes they go to far. I'm labled as a "preppy emo" just because I hide the fact that I'm pretty much always depressed and I go into serious mood swings [depressed, happy, sad, hyper, emo, okay] in like 1 minute.
It dosen't bother me really : ] <3 |

Posts: 727 | January 26th, 2008 at 08:51am I think that the problem with labels arises when people refuse to talk/be civil to people in other groups.
I think it's in human nature to group people and things together, that's just the way we are. I also think that labels can be good in that they give people a sense of identity, it's hard to just be out there by yourself if you don't know there's anyone else who's like you. |

Posts: 38 | January 28th, 2008 at 10:58pm I'm been labled almost anything you can think of from emo to prep. I'm not really anything. I think labling is a part of society. Its sterotyping that causes issues. |

ii do think labels are bad cos it makes you st ick to a certain mould but i can honestly say there are people out there who deep down really just want to be labelled.
some people want the acceptance some people like the idea taht people have made an identity for them .
on a different note .
theres also labels like straight edge which bother me imensely .
i mean alot of people say it label themselves as such but ive mentiond this mutltiple times if people are so worried about labels all together why bother calling yourself straight edge. do you need a tag to be sober ? and clean ?
just a thought really .

Posts: 285 | February 4th, 2008 at 05:56pm Labelling is part of the human mind, Our mid LOVES to label things...
Look that apple is a fruit.
Steel is a metal.
Kid wearing black and cutting himself is Emo.
I rest my case ^_^
But anyway I was labelled at school, I was always being called nerd or geek...
So I just started accepting it.
First everytime they said geek i would say back "Actually Im a Nerd"
Then once they all called me Nerd I would just respond happily like it was my nickname, Eventually it became my nickname
Now I work in a computer store and they all still call me nerd, cept now they are my friends...
Anyway thats just my story. |
