Why do some people feel the need to stereotype? I find it very small minded, especially when people say:
*"emos" are suicidal
*"preps" are mean
*guys are horndogs
*girls are bitches when they get their periods
*teenagers are full of raging hormones and go through tons of mood swings
etc.
So why do some stereotype like that?

Because more than 80% of the population of the world lacks the intelligence to rise above the stereotypical.

For one thing, some of those you listed are facts and not stereotypes.
Most guys are horndogs. Many girls are bitches when they get their period. And teens most certainly are full of raging hormones and go through tons of mood swings.

Actually, people were built to "stereotype". We categorize all things, even people, so that we can simplify and better understand the world around us. It's basic psychology, and it's human nature.
Everyone judges people. Calling someone an "emo" or a prep is stereotyping, and the fact that "emos are suicidal" is just a characteristic of that stereotype. We were built to do this, even though it can often hurt people.
