I am blonde (naturally) and always have been. I can't imagine my life without blonde hair. It is a huge part of who I am today. Anyways, my class mates decide to be sterotypical and now everything thinks I am just another dumb blonde. I am so tired of it. I didn't do my homework assignment once and I now I am dumb. They look at me as if I were an idiot. I'm no though. I have A's and B's and I am in honors and seminar classes! What can I do to prove to them I am not a dumb blonde? or should I just let it go and let them think what they want?
kristymarie782 answered Friday February 23 2007, 7:31 pm: I just say let them think what they want because the fact that blondes are always being called dumb is pretty stupid if you ask me. I mean they could be callin you that to because your in honors and you get A's and B's they probobly are just jealous of you and want to be like you. Thats why I think people mess with others. They have no life. Just dont even worry about them. Im sure you have other friends that you can be with. If they keep on bothing you go off on them. There Lame.

I have naturally blonde hair also and I just be myself and my real friends accept me because they know me. Don't listen to those people, they will just bring you down.

I'm blonde too, and I totally get what you're saying about your hair colour. One time a friend of mine said that I should try dieing my hair brown, and another one of my friends was like, then she wont have an excuse for being dumb. You knw steriotypes are out there everywhere. If you have a colour skin, or even have an accent, then someone thinks they are better than you and they call you a name. The only difference is when it;s hair colour, it's probably because they are jealous. And people let them get away with it. Where as if you were to walk into a room and say the n word, then someone might actually stand up and say something.
You're smart, and you know you're smart, so it doesnt matter what other people think, and i doubt that they actually think that. Because people call me dumb, but I have a 95% in english, so obviously I'm not an idiot, it just depends on what people think is funny.
You're entire life, dumb blonde jokes will follow you around, my blonde cousin came up to me the other day and told me a dumb blonde joke and I laughed and was like, you realize you're dissing yourself, and he was like yeah, but I thought it was funny, so I told it anyway. He was eleven, so maybe we have something to learn from him. We usually learn that if theres no way around it, and we cant fight it, to laugh along with it, but always remember, you're not stupid, and as long as you know it, thats the only person who should care. You don't need to prove your intellegence to anyone except yourself. So as long as you think you're smart, then everythings okay. I'm sure no one actually thinks you're stupid anyway, they just think its funny. But one day they'll do something stupid and you can laugh. SO I hope I helped. Blondes rule all! Love ya,

Don't care what they think of you. what truely matters is that YOU know who you really are and that you aren't dumb. Poeple will always think what they want to think and if they don't want to get to know the real you, that's their loss.
