Doesn't sterotyping irritate you?
My aunty came around today and because I was wearing baggy trowsers she says, "Ooh so you are one of those stupid moshers now". The rest of my family (Who still live on coincil estates where they were brought up, my mum was the only 1 who moved away) are all townies.
She gave me a total lecture about how I am a misfit and look stupid wearing baggys and hoody and how we 'all have skateboads and spraypaint walls'
This isnt the only prejedgement I have undergone in my life. Because I aren't particularly tall (Im about 5'6) people assume I am not going to fight back. This guy as school who is the cockiest son of a 8itch you will ever meet decided that because I am better than him at football, he would threaten me. I floored him and gave him a black eye. I have however been given black eyes and bust lips by people who assume I wont fight back.
Also because I am pretty big, always have been (Done weights and rugby since I can remember) My teachers assume I will be disruptive. The fact I used to have a skinhead didnt help, but they accused me of been the trouble causer when infact I got some of the best grades in the year in the exams.
One thing I cannot stand is stereotyping people for the way they look or act. I've said my piece now and am happy. Thanks for listening.

Please don't make out you're 'hard' as you may call it, over the forums when you can't prove it.
I'm really small, about 5', and people judge that i'm weak. Which is true, but could have quite a few of the people that go bowling it around. paranoid Idiot, shut up. Kyle's alright, and he probably is hard. I know he's done rugby for along time, and you have to be hard to play rugby.
I played rugby. I'm not hard.
I played rugby. I'm not hard.
Okay, then i'll take your word for it.... not!
Paranoid Idiot, you name speaks the truth I see. I am not hte boasting or fighting type, I am the quiet one who doesn't take crap from anyone and wont hesitate to punch people when threatened. I don't go around wantonly beating people up and don't want an image like that at all, I am more of a ladies man.
I played rugby for a long time and it did make me stronger, I go to a gym twice a week too so I am pretty fit. Thanks Ben for writing me a mini profile there :-)

First of all, this is just a user name. Nothing at all to do with the way I am. And I've recently wanted to change it to RADIOHEAD, but it wouldn't let me! Damn thing.
And two if that isn't boasting then I don't know what is.
