But I suppose.
People were a bit mean about it at school.
Rubbish, yeah.
But you have to remember that 14-year-old boys hate everything in the world that is striking and interesting.
Such a good point.
Luckily, I've surrounded myself with a different crowd.
But I think the nice thing about being bullied about being ginger was that the adults in my life were so nice to me about it that I did have a centering force of knowing that even though these people were being mean to me, it would be a mean pro.
And it was because I got an email from Prague 10 years later about it.
The thing is it wasn't just the ginger thing like at school I was a bit... I've always had a strong sense of who I am and so then I wasn't able to do the thing that I think a lot of people do to like assimilate and be not noticed and then
People would be just so horrible.
The worst thing that happened to me with the bullying at school was that, and this is so low level, but the boys would pretend to fancy me as a joke.
The ginger thing kind of came into that.
That was horrible.
And that really changes your...
sense of self and your perspective on like your own capacity to be loved when it's a joke in your formative years but it's I do think it's been good for me in that I've got thick skin
Yeah, it's a big one.
And I've still got ginger hair.
And now it is really a problem in my life.
It's cool that I'm ginger.
I mean, very little, to be honest.
