Originally posted by gingerjediGood advise, to be fair I'm more aubern than copper and I hung around with the hard kids so I didn't get too much stick at school, I know of others who had it a lot worse and I felt their pain like only a 'ginger brother' could!
There was a particular ginger kid, who did get smashed alot. More than the others, but that was because he was just a loud mouthed annoying fecker, and the fact he was ginger was just a bonus to kick him double hard, or more regulary.
Ginger or no ginger, if u get the respect for beign a decent person, lifes much easier.
no feck off the lot of ya.

Ginger biscuits are nice.

Originally posted by SallyAnneah jedi man - you have to change this attitude, else you WILL have your child coming home from school in tears, cause he'l pick up on your sensitivity and make it his own.
I've said many times I dont find "fatty" (or words to that effect) offensive. Its a fact, not a put down. Its only a put down if you feel insecure about it yourself.
And exactly the same for ginger hair. Its not an insult - how could it be?! Ginger hair is lovely!

Originally posted by gingerjediI am a victim, I was picked on at school because of the colour of my hair and to this day I have to put up with remarks that 'ordinary' people don't have to, is it acceptable to call someone 'fatty' or 'coon' to their face? No, so why am I expected to just put up with it?
But as long as people perpetuate this 5hit all I have to look forward to is my child coming home from school crying because some feckin idiot thinks it's ok and acceptable to teach their kids to take the pi55 out of people with red hair.
Jed, do u have ginger pubes as well?

ah jedi man - you have to change this attitude, else you WILL have your child coming home from school in tears, cause he'l pick up on your sensitivity and make it his own.

Originally posted by The Lone GunmanYeah, what pizza face says! If he can live with being an ugly crater faced **** then you can live with red hair!
Didn't do Ray Loitta any harm. Adds a kind of rugged look in adulthood. Women love it.

Originally posted by KyajaeWell, if it's any comfort to you Jedi, at the age of 12 I developed severe acne (years before any of the other kids had been told what it was) and I endured the next 6 years of school being called 'moony', 'lunarman' and girls hurridly running away from me as if I had some incurable disease. etc etc and I still carry the physical scars as well as the memories.
Move on. Stop being so angry and defensive. No one means it personally.
