Have you felt discriminated due to a stereotype?

When I was ten years old some schoolmates called me "ant" because I was very
short, and think did not like to play basketball because they made fun of me.
I went to learn to play soccer and the coach told me that it was not important to be
tall, because Lionel Messi, famous player, was short.
After some time, I grew, and nobody called me "ant".
I think that stereotypes are bad because they damage the feelings of people
because women have to be thin and pretty, and men have to be strong according
to stereotypes. And I think the stereotypes are bad in the deports because It affects
people of low stature and fat people a lot.
We can be more tolerant and stop mocking others for stereotypes.
