Stereotypes: generalizations based on a group in which a person belongs. (Ex: race, age, gender, income, neighborhood, etc.) 

This week's 8th grade hosts, Saif and Julius partner up to interview classmates Aidan, Gareth, and Tytus. The five teens take on the topic of stereotypes in middle school and in life. This is always a recurring conversation year-to-year, and for good reason. They bring up age, race, and gender norms, talking through peer pressure, drug use, older generations, and perceptions vs. reality of people with mental-emotional issues like ADHD and depression.
