Mormon Stereotypes
Mormons, they are not a race, a place, it is a religion and a lot of people are very stereotypical about the way they go about their lives. Mormons aren't supposed to do certain things like date before your sixteen, or drink things with caffeine, but if they do these things they don't have to go to hell, it's just preferred that you don't do them. As a Mormon, I hear so many things about what people "think" I am. It gets obnoxious clearing up misconception after misconceptions, so I am going to clear the air about everything.

Lastly, Mormons can swear and cuss, although you're not supposed to. Mormons are normally known as the people that are very respectful of others and are the ones that don’t cuss. Cussing is just another one of those "house rules." My dad told me that these things that we're "not supposed to do" are just things that help us keep strait on the path of the Mormon religion. Some people say that Mormons are strict, or picky but really if you think about it Mormons are always really organized. Also, only 2% of Mormons ever start smoking or get into drugs. In the modern day, 20% of the human population smoke or does drugs. If you do the math that shows that there are only about 5000 Mormon smokers and for the rest of the world there are 1.4884 billion
