Who is the better?
By Alexa Doyer • Elm Street School

Why do boys get all the sports attention? Well, then again, why are girls always thought of the ones who decide about relationships and always thought of being cheerleaders and not on the court?

Our world is so full of stereotype sexist people. Both young men and women should be able to set their own standards and reputations. Darcy, from the Sexual Assault Crisis Center in Auburn, has been visiting schools in the state of Maine, today she visited the seventh and eighth graders of Elm Street School in Mechanic Falls, Maine. I would like to know from you, the readers, why are boys stereotyped the way they are and girls the way they are. Are boys better than girls, or vice versa? That is my final question.
