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.

So did I!
You can still get free samples at:
jellybelly.co.uk or something like that.
All you have to do is to fill out some details and you get a free sample. If you really like them, you can claim for them everyday.

I love sour skittles! I put a load in my mouth at once 'like you do' and they were so sour they burnt the roof of my mouth!
I know a jelly baby, called Gill. He says that in his world, Its the jelly babies that eat people, and they all think that the yellow ones are the best. Idiots.
Green Skittles rule all
I won a free pack of jelly bellies from the internet :-)
