Answer:

Stereotypes can be a problem because when people don't follow the stereotypes, they can be bullied, called weird, or looked down upon. Also, when too many people follow a specific stereotype, it becomes the new normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if you saw a boy wearing a dress, you would most likely stare, and think uhh....thats weird. Another example is actually somewhat racist. If you think of a basketball player, you would most likly think of a black one, leading to the stereotype that African Americans are better at specific sports. I hope this helped!
