| Abstract | The purpose of this project is to break gender stereotypes (e.g., "boys can't be friends with girls" "girls can't talk to boys", etc.) because we have consistently observed what appears to be an invisible gender boundary among teenagers, particularly within our generation. Many boys and girls seem more comfortable interacting with members of the same gender, while interactions with the opposite gender can sometimes involve discomfort, teasing, bias, or negative assumptions. The goal of the project is aimed towards proving genders are just titles, therefore they should not interfere with platonic/general relationships. |
