ginger

i was speaking generally

but i hate bullies - go to the school i say.

watch it jaap

try some counseling mumbo jumbo like "your REAL friends won't make fun of you about it, the rest aren't worth bothering about" summik like that, total bollocks as my mates rip me the most about my gingerness haha but it might make the kid feel better

reckon showing her pics of famous gingers is the way to go, also get her to "count her blessings" my parents were always nailing me with that one as a kid for anything I whinged about, show her how much better off she is than some poor buggers in wheelchairs/blind etcetc
try and make her see it's only ginger hair I know when kids are young their world is tiny and everything is really important but at the end of the day she's a girl and when shes old enough she can always dye it I know loads of girls whose drapes don't match the curtains

like somebody said on here she might become a bit of a brainbox which is no bad thing in the long run. Could try telling her to just ignore them and really stick in with her schoolwork and give her plenty of attention at home to compensate. Lots of support and praise at home will make her more confident and better able to deal with it in the long run

one thing with ginger bullying I reckon is it's summik that you get when you're really young but the time you're in your mid teens you learn to treat it as more of a laugh and not take it seriously

i got crucified in school coz i was fucking fat, plus when the charves took the piss i spoke back and wasnt afraid of them and they didnt like it,

and as much as i didnt like school i wouldnt change it as it has made me who i am today, a thick skinned individual who cant be offended no matter what people say,

cant trust people too much like but have learnt a sweet right hook

just tell her to be a teachers pet and run home after school everyday

A ginger lass started in out office recently and she got proper rinsed off a few people for the colour of her hair. One Monday she turned up and had dyed her hair dark brown - this only made matters worse!

She insistent she's not ginger so one of the lads asked her to get her rat out and prove it. She hasn't give in yet, but I think they're still working on it.

Re: ginger

It's shit stuff like this, especially when you at School. If you tell her to go in with the attitude that she doesn't give a fuck what people say or think then the little fuckers will get bored of picking on her.

ha ha ha we have a lad in the main factory who is just slightly ginger like

and when he does a mistake everyone even the managment say its because of his disability lol

Re: Re: ginger

yeah thats probably the right thing to do like


why do gingers get the piss ripped out of them?
why not blondes? brunettes? etc

Re: Re: Re: ginger

Tell her to just laugh along and take the piss out of the people who are ripping her. They'll get bored soon enough

I used to get picked on all the time, until year 10 I ended up having a fight on scrap hill with the main culprit then we ended up best mates

Seriously though, Id tell her to laugh it off, I do with my height, I even make the joke before someone else does. It is character building, and tbf its only hair, my cousin only has one arm, you can imagine the grief she got growing up

I'm sure it was all just 'armless fun

That is actually something Kirsty would say

it would horribel having something like this - i lad i work with has one withered arm, and he said that when that film scary movie 2 came out at the pics he was in year 10 at school, and the grief he got was unbelievable! it must be horrible

The people who picked on him probably had their own insecurities and picking on an "easy" target like that is a way of making themselves feel better about their own issues, or at least covering them up. They probably had a harsh home life and were regularly brayed off the 'rents.

I guess its easy to say don't let it bother you, just ignore them, but that must make you feel rubbish. She's only 11 and is at that age when you become really self concious. If her dad went to the school and kicked up a fuss there is always the chance that she will get picked on more for having complained.
I suppose it can be character forming.
It's not really any of my business, it's his kid not mine but I can't help but feel sorry for her. It's good to hear from those of you who went through it though.

We had a girl at school who had a big nose and everybody called her witchie. nobody would talk to her and if she touched you you had to touch somebody else to get rid of 'witchies lurg'
it must have been so awful for her but we never thought about it, or if we did nobody went against the flow. kids can be so cruel.

She’ll probably turn 18, end up stunning with massive tit’s and all the lads will want to get into her. She’ll remember exactly what they said and how they treated her and she’ll have the last laugh.

That always happened to the mingers and quiet lasses in our school.
