I didn't know...

I am Allyson, a redhead, pale skin that doesn't burn as easily as one of my friends who is also a redhead, and green eyes, and 13/14 years old. Lately, my friend told me a few jokes about redheads and it was really hurtful. So then I searched up more about what people say about redheads and it got me mad, and I am rarely mad. Why do people come up with such mean things about redheads - it's not like brunette and blondes don't get mad.

While growing up I was never teased and now I am grateful for that, but it just really bothers me because I am now finding out about this ridiculous stuff. It's just so rude.

We are ALL red on the inside. Being red outside makes you special.
Agree it's not fair

Reply by Deb at RR: Hi Allyson. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions on this issue. I'm happy to hear you weren't really teased growing up...so many redheads are! I agree the jokes, however, can be very hurtful (specially some of the 'adult' ones) ...although some 'clean' jokes are just in fun and not meant to be mean. Like you, I don't understand why people can be so rude. Fortunately, SO many people love redheads and it's wonderful. Thanks for visiting and sharing with us :)
