Hoodies
When we don’t know people, we might make a judgement about what they are like just because of how they speak, dress or what they look like. It is important to be careful about strangers especially if we are alone or if they ask us to do something we don’t like. However, it is good to understand that we can sometimes be wrong about people and they might not be like we think they are.
