This document is a script for a short film about youth perspectives on trends, social media use, and stereotyping. It includes interviews with several young people on whether people who dress differently are judged, if youth feel pressure to follow trends, their social media habits, people they look up to, and their views on whether stereotyping has gotten worse over time. The interviews provide a variety of opinions, with some feeling stereotyping has increased due to social media while others feel views have remained similar or stereotyping fades after school.

EVIE
I think that peoples views have
always been quite similar over the
years cause probably a long time a
go people were judged by things
they shouldn't be judged but
society these days. A lot more
people are mean and they shouldn't
be.

CHARLIE
I think social media might be to
blame, these stereotypical thoughts
people have.
