i’m a 14 year old redhead and people at my school always make jokes about us all the time. It gets worse and worse every year. I used to ignore it..but it doesn’t stop and i just don’t understand why people do it.

Can i just point something out that people haven’t even commented on yet, and is actually a scientific fact. Ginger people have extremely fair skin, and consequently absorb a extensively larger amount of UV rays from the sun compared to our darker haired/darker skinned counterparts. This ultimately results in a greater production in the quantity of naturally occuring Vitamin D in the system. Vitamin D is utilised in the body to manufacture calcium and in turn produce stronger bones. I havn’t got ginger hair per se, but i do have freckles and and sandy blonde hair and eyebrows and therefore must have the ginger gene. I have fallen off my bike on the road more times than i can mention and every time i have landed on me arms. NOT ONCE have i broken a bone. To date i have only slightly broken a metacarpal in my hand in a boxing match, but that is a common injury with boxers and is actually called a ‘boxers fracture’, and believe it or not i didnt even get it put in plaster nor did i even go to A+E / ER. But the fact that i am part of the carmine race means the bones healed like a mofo! The point i am trying to get across is, we might have different hair and we might have freckles (which incidently i find particularly unsightly im afraid) but when WE fall down, we dont break as easy, IF AT ALL! This being the facts, how the f*** can this be called a recessive gene! If anything we have a major bonus. Heres a short story: a friend of my brothers was working out in a gym, he like was a bodybuilder. Was. One day he was doing inclined dumbell presses and halfway through a set OOOOOoohhh low and behooold, his upper arm bone broke, completely split sticking through his arm, ending his bodybuilding career. This was a one in a hundred accident BUT, had he have had the so called ‘recessive’ ginger gene this would NOT, repeat NOT have happened. The moral of the story? We might be pasty faced ugly freckley freaks, but we’re f***ing harder than you lot of weak boned weasels. NOW who’s recessive? PS: ginger girls arent sexy? Two words: Nicole Kidman. Butt like a peach and sexy as fook. I rest my case.

Im a 12 year old ginger girl and also tall=target.ginger is a colour not a personality flaw like you bullies obviously have.My hairdresser won’t dye my hair because she says its too nice and im not gunna be cocky and agree but there is nothing at all wrong with it FULL STOP.South park is for wierd,cruel,boring people that have no life.To all those ginger people who have been bullied,self harm,assaulted you are perfectly normal,lovely people ,don’t let anybody get to you and anybody that make hurtful comments just blank they are the ones with the problem,not you. Don’t be dissapointed if you love somebody and they brake your heart because your ginger-they are not good enough for you! much love and appreciation for those who deserve it! xx

People with red hair…
If people want to call you names, let them…
We should be flattered that we get so much attention paid to us simply because of the color of our hair!!
I can’t see many other people who stand out and get noticed naturally.
If you get called names, take it as a compliment, these people are clearly taking note of you, laugh it off and if anything…agree!!

I was called names at school, but now no-one really cares, it all just depends on how you take the comments. It takes alot to just accept them, but seriously, if handled right, people begin to respect you and the problem usually resolves itself…after a while (approx 2 months)

I know because this is what happened to me in each of the 4 schools I went to as a child…

good luck all red heads out there!!

I have ginger hair and i hate it. When walk home after school someone will always shout something out of a car, I hate my hair so, much i was going to die it but didnts in the end as i thought why should I, what really gets on my nerves is when some on says something and they cant really speak as they look totally messed up. I mean really GINGER is old now and tbf my hair isnt ginger its like a red colour not orange i mean yer it stands out but other colours are sort of plain. PEOPLE THAT HATE GINGER REALLY DONT NO WHAT THEY ARE DOING it destroyed my childhood and i think people who say things about ginger people a ugly f**** b*******
