Question Posted Thursday November 19 2009, 12:31 am
As you may have guessed I am a redhead. I get teased a LOT mostly by other girls but I never have anything to say to come back with so I either cry or get really mad and walk away.
What are some good comebacks for people who make fun of me just because I am a redhead? You would think it was a crime to have red hair the way they talk to me. :(
Thank you!

Razhie answered Thursday November 19 2009, 5:35 pm: Smile gently at them and say "It's okay to be jealous, but red hair dye is the most popular kind. I'm sure you could get some at the drugstore if you want it that bad."
Or just roll your eyes.
Teasing someone about their hair colour is just as rude as teasing someone about their skin colour. Having a rare hair colour is simply awesome any ways, and you don't have to give them a comeback. All you have to do is know the truth, and act on that truth. Don’t get angry, just treat them the way they deserve: like they are being completely inappropriate and totally clueless.

"red is the colour of fire meaning im sizzling hot" lol i like that one
at the end of the day if you show you love your hair and dont care about what people say then theyll see the mocks arent affecting you and get bored and will stop. [ sia's advice column | Ask sia A Question ]
