judgment is human nature

Every once in a while i feel that adults judge the younger generations by what they have seen on the news. We are always vandalizing, stealing cars, committing felonies, and disrespecting our elders. When i went on a church outreach trip i got some weird vibes from the home owners. The adult leaders expained to us that they were judging us based on the news shows they had watched. Eventually we changed their points of view and they realized that we aren't all ust "hoodlums." Everyone has steriotypes that they can't avoid though. For example, if you see a kid that looks exactly like someone you know, you will already have a first impression of the new kid. It is human nature to judge people and to analyze them. As people we need to avoid judging people based on their looks, and only to judge them based on their actions.
