Hard to stereotype that without looking at you. How a person dresses, speaks and behaves is more of a 'stereotype' indicator? If you are black (or white or hispanic), are in a bad area of town, wear baggy jeans and 'gangsta' type clothes, hang around with similar kids - the automatic thought would be that you were trouble and probably up to no good. Especially, if it is during the day when you should be at school.
But if you are black (or white or hispanic), in a bad area of town, dressed in clean, neat clothes, with a backpack slung over your shoulder - then you would look like a kid going to/from school.
It doesn't matter where you live or the color of your skin. It's the other factors (appearance, attitude, companions) that will lead people to throw a stereotype on you. The no girlfriend/no car mean absolutely nothing.

OK so I will give you an hypothetical answer keep in mind I am black not racist and I am simply giving you what you asked for...
I would guess you are from the ghetto live in a single parent home, your dad left or was never present in the home, you have no male roll models aren't really that cute, where hand me down clothes and busted up shoes. Your mom does not have relationships but sleep overs, and you are a Kool-aid drinking fried chicken eating, bike riding, ramen noodle packing, on your way to jail, as soon as you return from your shop lifting spree in WalMart, no class weed smoking, beer drinking, menace.
How was that?

You need to use spell check. You have what, one year of high school left? So you're about sixteen and you don't have a car or a girlfriend. Big deal. Statistically being black in a bad neighbourhood puts you at risk, but you are not a statistic. I don't like stereotypes. I don't know why you want to encourage that thinking.

i think there are no stereo types dear, being black does not excuse you for all the negatives...... or for bad decisions...... if u do live in a bad community, and u think your good, then do something to bloom where God planted u, enen if your the last remaining good, finish your last year in high school, earn to get a car, and choose your girl well so u can be a good citizen :)

Sorry but I can't It is against my way. If you were alone with me on a deserted street I might be apprehensive but that would refer to a white male too.

I would say, you are just an average kid, trying to get through highschool. Do well in school, go to college.

I would think you will probably improve your life, since you are not wasting your time on cars and sex.
