for about 5 years i have sufferd from an obsessive compulsive disored where i would frustrait my self to the point where i end up doing stupid things. like if i clean something it has to be perfect not out of place one bit or i get anoyed plus i would also say something then have to reapeat it in my head over and over untill im satisfied with how many times iv said it. its realy hard for me because i cant show people that i get pissed off for no reason because i would look like a moron. when i first got it mum said it was something that would blow over and that alot of tens go thought it. but it was getting out of hand and i knew that what i was going through wasnt normal. it went away for a few months but then came back twice as bad. iv tried getting help but nothing works

1) it effects jess because because she wants to make her parents happy and for her to do that she would have to give up somethings she loves, which is soccer. having other people make her choices in telling her what she can and cant do.

2) yes i do, because you see people and have an idea of what they might be like and realy their the complete opposite.

3) i met this guy who i thought was gay he dressed like a gay person he spoke like a gay person and everything about him was what i thought gay people were like, but realy he wasnt gay at all.

4) i think stereotypes have nothing to do with the media i think its just part of life and how people think. yes the media contributes to it but i dont think their the cause of it e.g  they will asume something they saw or heard then tell everyone what these poeple are aparently like.
