Stereotyping goes away with maturity

[Jenny A]

so by the age of 18 , with maturity , and less narrow mindedness, I no longer have stereo types against a gender or group. Did you ever go through that phase where your stereotyped like that, or resented people from an ehnicity, people from a certain countries, people from a rival gangs, different military, or religion or philosophy or form of government.?

Everyone does. And no one matures enough to escape stereotyping. We just get better and worse about it. It helps a little to recognize you have a stereotype about a group when interacting with an individual from that group. It's a reminder that you might not be being entirely fair.
