......well it's not being patted on the head as a kid, being told by some blue rinse, " what wonderful hair i had" lol

For me it's not what they say, it's more what they do!

The second look of a girl as she is walking down the street,  

The standing by my side when i'm going toe to toe,

My wife saying "i do",

My Ginger son wanting to grow his hair long,

Sites like this..........it's all good

This is the best forum post i've ever read anywhere! It actually made me a little moist, well done sir!

I never really got a compliment until i came here; when i was a kid (when I was about 6 i think) one of my parents friends used to tell me to wash the fly shinolae off my face (my frickles). I got so paranoid about it i asked my mum how i could get rid of them. she proceeded to tell me lemon juice would do the trick but she wasnt going to buy me anyway =[
 
Then in junior school it was the old carrot top (along with being called stewbag, name being stuart =/). Highschool was the worst as there were maybe 3 redheads in the whole school, used to get a fair amount of abuse for it. Usually being 'cussed' by about four people at once. Even on the way home on the bus haha. makes me laugh now how shallow some people can be. Anything to make themselves feel special hehe, well you obviously need it if you need to resort to name calling =oP
 

gosh i never got any teasing EVER.. i went to an all girls school all my life maybe thats y but no one was ever mean to me, it was never an issue, or possible it was cos there were a number of red heads in my school i dont know... the only people ever to make it an issue are my 4 very much so blonde sisters!!! haha... kids amazing how kids can be so hurtful!!
