Bullied since I was in 7th grade

I'd never felt bad or embarrassed about having red hair till I was in 7th grade, when everyone started to make fun of me. At first it was so hard and I would cry and I felt like no one could understand.

I'm almost a junior in high school now and my hardest year for getting made fun of was this year, but I just realized if I didn't have red hair people would find some other way to make fun of me. I've dyed my hair a dark red but never a different color. That's when I realized I really did like having red hair and how pretty it is.

If people make fun of you, just laugh at it and don't take listen to them because they like getting bad reactions out of people. It's not about the color or your hair.
