Labeling is pretty much essential for the way the brain works. It would take too long to individually assess every aspect of someone/something, so it creates groupings and generalizations.
It's the same way with the high school mind. It takes too long to assess members of an out group, so they create things to make it easier to process. The problem comes in the fact that many (even those outside of this age group) don't want to take the time to try to move past this process for a more enlightened view of an individual.
It's not necessarily a nice thing, but it will never go away.
