Think about a personal characteristic that other people have stigmatized. You may use a stigma of a friend.?

Question

How did you “manage” this stigma? Did you change your behavior or feelings about yourself in some way? Explain the relevance of labeling theory to your understanding and management of this stigma or some other minor deviant behavior.

Answer 1

this is the problem with stigma.  we must tell ourselves to rise above it.  dont fall for the part that others want us to fall.  so be careful and it takes alot of effort to get over it.  but we must realize certain shortcomings and also make efforts to overcome it.  hence the stigma will evaporate!
