Anonymous (not verified)What the boy in the video says is so true. I find myself feeling confident and assured after someone praises me, and I've noticed that I walk taller and have a more positive outlook, too. It reminds me of the difference just a few little words can have on someone's self-confidence.

A lot of times people call me shy and make fun of me for not talking much. I'm not this way at home or around my best friends, but at school everyone constantly calls me quiet and shy. A lot of times, I don't raise my hand in class even when I have the answer, and I think it could be because I'm starting to believe inside that I really am this quiet and shy person, and I can't be outspoken.

Anonymous (not verified)I think this boy is right, people can really take things the people say to heart. My friend was teased a lot when we were in elementary school. It wasn't like the names in the video (she was teased for her acne or they called her slow cause she had to go to special classes), but she also never really had the confidence even though I think she's really smart and talented. She always talks herself down.

Anonymous (not verified)The way other people talk about you can totally affect the way you look at yourself. I remember one time, my teacher made a joke to a student she was really friendly with but the girl really took it personally and transferred out of the class. It was good because teachers probably shouldn't be crossing that line—making personal jokes about students—but it really affected this girl and our whole class. It went from being a fun class to one where everyone was tense. We also didn't want to feel like adults were judging us.

Anonymous (not verified)I think it's great to highlight how students may start to internalize negative statements made about them. Positive statements work in a similar way and can have very positive affects on young people in developing their self-perception. :)Atlanta Atlanta , GAUnited States33° 44' 56.382" N, 84° 23' 16.7352" WSee map: Google MapsGeorgia US

Anonymous (not verified)Stereotypes have never been good since this is the root of racism and bullying. Some people just let their friends stereotyping others as long as they don’t get affected. This is the point where we all should start eliminating the root of any kinds of stereotypes. If we see our friends doing something that is just not right towards the others, we should warn and stop them by explaining what they are actually causing.

I think to break down the stereotypes should be little by little through a period, Because stereotype formed through a long time, It is like a bad habbit, we cannot easily change it, but, we still can change it day by day. Also, I think environment can affect stereotypes a lot, peer pressure, self-esteem, these all can affect us to form stereotype, i think to change into a different environment may easier for us to break down stereotypes, but,it depends, because some people cannot easily fit into a new environment.

Anonymous (not verified)I think we could break down the stereotypes little by little and try our best to do it, even though it is complicated and difficult to break the inrooted stereotypes. Some of them maybe are about the relief and custom that hide inside the bottom of the people’s hearts. We could maybe change their mind patiently or persuade them in other ways. What we could merely is to try.
