Your Personal Identity
In this section we will look at your personal identity. Your personal identity is what makes you different from everyone else. It affects how you interact with others.
Sometimes people use labels to describe people. A label could be your race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. A label could be your religious beliefs or social or economic status. These all describe one part of your identity. But they do not include any of your personal experiences or thought processes.
Sometimes others have unfair and untrue beliefs about you based on one of these labels.
In the box below, identify something that someone has said or thought about you based on one of these labels.
