Okay, so this is kind of a touchy subject, so it could take some time. I've had bright red hair since the day I was born. Like really really BRIGHT. Anyways, when I was little all the old ladies in the grocery store always wanted to touch it and told how beautiful it was and about their great grand niece or whatever that had red hair...you get the point. So, I grew up thinking red hair was perfectly acceptable in today's society. Well, turns out I was WRONG. I'm in seventh grade now, and everyone calls me "ginger". Apparently this means a "person with no soul". Today I was told my one of the eighth graders that "I'm going to get kicked in high school". When I got home I Googled a few things and found out that "gingerism" as Wikipedia calls it, is considered by some to be the last acceptable form of racism. In 2003, a 19 year old boy in the UK was stabbed in the back and killed because he had red hair. Numerous hate crimes have been reported all around the world especially in Europe, but it is not considered by many people to be "real prejudice" because it is simply hair color, not skin color, race, or gender. I believe this is a form of prejudice, but I'm really scared about high school. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I will get bullied a lot just because of my hair color. I get straight A's, am actually not ugly (in my boyfriend's opinion...lol) and I play guitar and have been in my school choir for 4 semesters. I guess I have a lot going for me and I think I'm a pretty decent person but as soon as I started to read all the horrible nicknames people get called such as "Period head", "Carrot top" and "Ketchup head" (the latter two being ones I have already experienced along with "Strawberry shortcake and "Fire head") I started crying. Am I ever going to be able to accomplish anything due to my hair color? Am I going to resort to dying it later in life? My friends, parents, and family say it's pretty, and I personally don't mind it. But I'm sick of guys and people that aren't my friends thinking I'm ugly just because I'm part of the less than 1% of the human race that has red hair. Please mod, do you have any advice on how to deal with the prejudice, discrimination, and the bullying, especially once I get to high school? I'm really scared!

so i have a problem. there's this guy i met this year that i sat next to in one of my 1st semester classes. he's one of the star basketball/football players at my school. he's nice when he wants to be but he says sexually stuff to me. oh and we sat in the back corner of the room and whenever i wore skirts he would try to 'feel me'! and now like whenever i talk to him he always brings up tht he wants to have sex with me or do some other "stuff"! i don't know what to do!! help!

Hey Girl! Make sure that you remain in control with this boy, you don't want to do anything that you'll regret later on. Try setting some boundaries with him before you get to know him better and be clear when you're talking to him. It doesn't matter how popular he is, don't let him make you feel uncomfortable. Good luck! xo Lizzie
