To tell the truth, I wasn't teased at all. Every nickname I got was either a petname from my boyfriend or thrown at me playfully. I felt real special being the only girl with red hair at my elementry school, but never figured out why there wasn't a red haired BOY, until i got to middle school and there was one. Then came high school and there were about 10 redhead kids total...i don't feel as special anymo'. :(

Natural redhead all the way. I enjoyed being different than everyone else. One point that I have made in my life is not to be like everyone else and being a redhead definitely helps in this way.

I hate growing up as a redhead!!!! I always felt like a freak, never being able to get a tan, and being either sunburned or freckles (I grew up on the beach...... covered up!!!) But now I love it!!! My bf calls me a cute lil ginger.... I love having a haircolour that others spend money on.. to get the same shade.... (usually with out success).

I haven't had any pick up lines related to my hair directly to me. But I was in this hick town once visiting my friend. We stopped at this gas station and all these gross old men kept talking to me, which they don't really seem to do in the city where I'm from. The cashier was old too, and he was talking about how he really liked my long red hair and how when Reba McIntire cut hers he stopped buying her CD's. What was I supposed to say to that? Then recently I was visiting another friend, and we were hanging out with her boyfriend and his friends. I guess her boyfriend asked his friend what he thought about me, and his friend said I was hot and that my hair just said "grr". I think what I really don't like is when guys are attracted to my hair. I have so much more to offer, and I do mean physically!

Well. I'm 16 and I'm not quite finished growing up..but back in my day *haha* I wasn't really teased very much. I've always had a quick temper and a snappy attitude, so everybody's always known to leave me the hell alone. Every once in awhile I'll still get the carrot top/fire crotch remarks thrown in my face..but it's all good. :) I love each and everything about being a redhead..

All of the guys who have been interested in me were obviously attracted to me by my hair color. It makes me feel uncomfortable. When I was in high school, no one really paid attention to me. The right girls were supposed to be the ones that fit in; brunettes and blondes who wore the "in" clothes, etc. Being a redhead is about being yourself and being independent. Therefore, I wasn't everyone's object of affection. I guess that's one of the reasons I feel odd when someone says they're interested in me because I'm a redhead. It's also uncomfortable because I feel that they're only interested in me because of it, like it's a fetish of theirs. I think that might be why I'm wary of most guys. Hopefully though it'll get better as I get more used to it.
