"Standing Out Sandwich"-Great for bullies! Includes harsh comments and rude actions towards those being different and being stereotyped. Also comes with the possibility to end ones life.
End Note:
I have done a great amount of researching stereotypes and bullying and all cases have an outcome. Whether the outcome is just bringing it up to an adult, or causing someone to end their life, stereotyping is still serious. In Riki Wilchins article "Teenage Terrorism", she brings to us real stories about children being bullied and harassed to a point where stereotyping and bullying shouldn't go.

Product- Stereotypical Cheerleading Doll
With the holiday season approaching, your kids will be making Christmas lists hoping for everything they asked for to be under the Christmas tree. But how about getting them what they really want? This doll is best for young ages to grow up thinking cheerleaders only date football stars, wear uniforms daily, are ditzy and smile and make facials 24/7. Every little girl should have one so they can go to high school knowing what it's like to be a "real cheerleader".
*May cause harassment, experience bullying, and feel put down against others for being a typical cheerleader.
End Note:
For this activity, I chose this "product" because this seems to be the "typical" stereotype. Although it's wrong to stereotype, it still happens. Everyone should be aware of stereotypes, but should also be aware that it can be stopped. At a young age children are sponges and the experiences they go through portray in their teen to adult lives. If children can see at a young age what a "typical" stereotype is, they can recognize it in their later years to overcome stereotyping and learn how to not stereotype. In Sondra Thiedermans article "Stop Stereotyping: Overcome Your Worst Diversity Enemy", she gives tips and tricks on how to stop stereotyping.
