Re: Gingerism
I was often called 'Ginger' in my early teens, but it was never said in an unkindly way. I think that ginger boys do get teased about it. Like any teasing - if you show that it hurts, the bully thrives on it and does it more.
My son has fair hair but not ginger, and none of my grandchildren are ginger, but I do have a nephew who is truly a 'carrot head'. I dont know whether he was bullied because of it in his youth.
I suspect that there is more to this story than the family just being ginger
