Being misunderstood can be very difficult for a group trying to change the world for the better. Sadly, this occurs more often than not. These misunderstandings can take many forms but are most commonly known as stereotypes, or just blatant misconceptions. When this happens, it can give a person or even a group an ill reputation.
