The worst way in which I was ever discriminated against for being a red-headed was when I was about 7/8 yrs old, the teacher divided the class into reading groups according to their hair colour (can you believe it!!) and I was the only red-head in the class!
It is as if she got satisfaction by singling me out. I preferred reading on my own in any case so she actually did me a favour!
Fortunately, though, I never developed a complex despite all the name-calling and mockery – I love my colouring and my freckles. It actually fascinates people….
