38 What is a stereotype? Stereotyping is labeling a person based on a preconceived idea as to what a group represents. There is power in recognizing your own stereotypes and how you judge others unfairly.

39

40 Why is it so hard to trust? We are lied to all the time We are fed stereotypes all the time Why should you work to do better? What do you want people to remember you for? What will you think about in your final moments? Why are you here? When people believe in you, they will believe in what you say.

42 Leelah Alcorn "I immediately told my mom, and she reacted extremely negatively, telling me that it was a phase, that I would never truly be a girl, that God doesn't make mistakes, that I am wrong," Leelah wrote. "If you are reading this," she continued, "parents, please don't tell this to your kids. Even if you are Christian or are against transgender people don't ever say that to someone, especially your kid. "Gender needs to be taught about in schools, the earlier the better," she pleaded. "My death needs to mean something. My death needs to be counted in the number of transgender people who commit suicide this year. I want someone to look at that number and fix it. Fix society. Please."

43

44 Bullying Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year, according to the CDC. For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts. Over 14 percent of high school students have considered suicide, and almost 7 percent have attempted it. Bully victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims, according to studies by Yale University 10 to 14 year old girls may be at even higher risk for suicide, according to the study above According to statistics reported by ABC News, nearly 30 percent of students are either bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of fear of bullying

45

46 Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Matthew 15:18 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. Proverbs 12:18 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 15:4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. Proverbs 29:20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent. Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver. Luke 6:45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

47 Matthew 12:36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, Proverbs 16:24 Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Matthew 12:37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. Colossians 3:8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Proverbs 13:3 Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 21:23 Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble. James 1:26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer

48 Proverbs 15:2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly. Proverbs 17:27 Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Proverbs 11:12 Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent. Proverbs 27:2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. Proverbs 17:9 Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends Proverbs 16:23-24 The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips. Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.

49 James 3:1-12 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire
