Dear God.
They are mobilising!
I think it is too late for the UK.
But here, in Australia, there is still time to defeat what we know as the 'Ranga Menace'.

first person is a troller. dont give them any notice and they will crawl back into their little hole.
doesnt matter anyway, its becoming popular. it would appear bright ginger hair is coming into fashion.
i looooooove the colour personally. fits the firey temperment.

people; you gotta understand the Aussie sense of humour. Hes getting a real kick out of our indignant replies, and to be honest it is funny: Its funny to laugh at proud people. come on poms; catch up lads:)

Ive got ginger dreadlocked hair -coming up to a year now:)- and i am all for the festival. Its really something to show a teenager or child that its a positive to be different and that the abuse comes from fear of difference not because of themselves.

however i think being proud of being ginger is overcompensating. not ashamed, not proud; just happy that we do stand out.

well i'm a middle school student and i'm made fun of every day for being a red head aka "ginger/firecroch" yea i'm really hating life right now ):

I was also teased in elementary and middle school about my red hair (and freckles). This too shall pass. The people who are teasing you will tease anyone who looks even the slightest bit different from them, and they are bullies and idiots for doing so. Just raise your chin and ignore them.

P.S. It gets better as you get older.
