THE NORM BY APARAJITA APRA

I wonder how many people are there sort of dying to put individuals in a box and stereotyping them.  Like "Oh!  that girl loves rock n roll, heavy metal. Man she must be a druggie.  Or Oh!  That guy wears pink mist be gay.  Or the funniest one Omg!  That girl is all into late night parties and dressing provocative, must be sleeping around .
The prenotions are a dangerous set of ideas that mares the understanding of humans. 
People can have different interests.  Their idea of perfection lies in their  mindset of perceptions.  It clears one fact -" Individuality can't be boxed in stereotypes".  We need to go with the open mindedness and  find common grounds  with  people. 
 Just because a person looks skinny doesn't mean that they are anorexic or don't eat enough. It maybe their genes and just because a girl is curvy doesn't mean they don't take care of themselves or have let themselves go. 
Just because a girl is mature doesn't implies she has to get hitched.  With more and more woman and men taking center stage.  Not walking behind each other but walking with each other, the line between masculine and feminine roles are blurred.  Its high time we see people  for who they are not what we assume them to be. 
Backing up with a simple concept all that we see is not exactly all that is there.  Sometimes there is a lot going on behind what we are made to see.   A nomad doesn't confirms irresponsible behavior.  A girl without poker hair doesn't mean
she can't be serious .  Its the norms which need to be torn not believed with conviction.
