General Question (sorry if this is the wrong place)
Hi everybody! I'm new here so please excuse me if I shouldn't have posted here. I was wondering where I should post a question about a topic relating to human behavior, mainly stereotyping. I am also confused on where to post a question relating to video games. Again, if I shouldn't have posted here please excuse me.

Hi VideoGamer,
Welcome to the forum.
"Human behavior" as a topic is included in the 6-8 Life, Earth and Social Sciences forum. Video games are an interesting category and it's totally reasonable that you had to ask: if you're interested in writing one or aspects of how they work, you'd probably want to post in 6-8 Math and Computer Science, but if you're interested in how people interact with games, that falls under the category of human behavior (life sciences).
