ginger babies wtf?

I have two gingers, 13 year old son, 10 year old daughter. They always got picked on when they were little for their red hair, but now as they've gotten older it has pretty much stopped. And my daughter's friends always tell her how lucky she is to have gorgeous long red hair.

I've never heard anything like that. That's ridiculous! Who would believe that?

That never happened when I was a kid but times have changed. Things are a lot more frightening these days. I have heard a few stories of children with red hair getting teased/bullied. It is a shame. I really have no suggestions except maybe teach them how to deal with it in a non-aggressive manner, or teach them how to defend themselves without resorting to physical violence. Anyway, hugs to you mama. Here is a website that may help: http://www.raising-redheads.com/teasing.html

Aww I feel bad or laughing now I thought it was all joking around :(
I'm sorry people are assholes


I've never heard anything like that about red heads. My hair is auburn. If I'm in the sun you can see a lot of red. I've always loved it. My son has a light brown and again in the light you can tell he has red highlights even more clearly than my own. I love it! I love red hair and anyone who would believe red heads don't have souls are either stupid or jealous.
