my mates daughter is a ginger and she is constantly getting grief at school and we were talking about what to do. and I just wondered how the gingers on here coped with it and what he should tell his daughter to do ? and what he should do?

i am a carrot, and it doesnt really bother me in the slightest, however i know ginge kids who get proper pissed off at the very mention of their colourings.

as far as picked on at school goes, i was hardly, sheer extent of the freaks that went to my school no1 really giv a shot bout my hair


tell the wee carrot head to belt up and get on with it (and make sure she wears plenty suncream on holiday!!!)

Hair dye/clippers

Gingers are cool

tell her to say "its not ginger....it's african sunset"

it worked for me

your a wise man matey!!!

Gingers are naturally fucking solid, tell her to start knocking people out

I dunno I never got loads of grief as a kid about it, mine isn't proper bright ginger though, its character building in the long run, made me not take myself too seriously, if you make fun of it first then that gets it out there and gives you the power over the situation (kinda hard to explain that to a youngun though)

Maybe try telling about some famous gingers:

Gillian Anderson
Nicole Kidman
Kate Winslet
Julia Roberts
Si Quick

failing that she could just tell them to fuck right off and stab them, us gingers are known for our firey temperament

why aye,

tell her to move to scotland

I've got a ginger beard!

i'm sure she can take a lot of comfort from that.

haha.

she's quite shy and not the sort to stick one on anyone and she blushes as red as her hair. I feel really sorry for her and couldn't think of anything to suggest, so thanks for the suggestions you african sunsets

it's the same as ANY type of bullying - you know how it works, the more you bite, the worse it gets - and at the end of the day, kids will always be kids and the same things will be used to pick on each other - fat, thin, ginger, poor, tall, short. All she can do is turn it around and be confident about it and laugh along - she'll never stop it completely but by showing she's not bothered by it, people won't use it as much

Definately like stu says, it's character building and they'll be strong people once they come thru it - and they will

you make it sound like such an ordeal!

bullying is.

i meant gingerness not bullying lol

so is gingerness!!

i love red heads

She's still at school man!!!!
