Hello,
This week has been designated Anti-Bullying Week 2012 in the UK.
I have received many emails from youngsters who are being bullied for being blessed with Red Hair.
So, to try and find a way to help, Gingerfightback has created a page devoted to helping you tackle bullying.
You will find the page by clicking on this – “Being Bullied?”
You will find ways to advice on how to deal wiht bullying, websites stuffed with good advice and free, confidential phone numbers to talk to people who can help.
This information relates to the United Kingdom, but if anyone else wants to provide advice lines and websites for their own country, get in touch and I will be happy to include it.
As bullying can play such a destructive role in so many lives I would ask you to reblog, share and publicise this post as far and wide so that we can help as many youngsters as possible.
Many Thanks From Gingerfightback!

Go you for adding the page!
I remember last year you were encouraging people to call the BBC(?) with their stories. Did anything ever come of that?
Cheers Guap – had problems with my computer so sorry for the late reply. Yep encouraged people – spoke to the BBC but sadly the show never aired. Just hope we can help a few people with this info.
I am in. I hate bullying. (full stop) I will drop this in the machine to go out all week. Thank you.
Cheers Red!
Good stuff. 🙂
It is.

Reblogged ’cause it’s important.
Thanks
This is such a great idea. When I was a kid I had plain old brown hair and one of my friends had brilliant red hair, I envied her so much. I never knew that reds/gingers got bullied. Good for you for doing this!
It is much more common than you think.
Prince Harry should make himself useful and lend his voice to this cause. I think that would be really great.

I confess to bullying once – one occasion, in one R.E. lesson, I joined in with a few people. I was very sorry but I did get bored with it quickly and went back to drawing funny speech bubbles on the biblical characters in the textbook instead.
I later hung out with them instead, I recall another friend saying at the time that I will not be accepted if I hang out with certain people and expelled from the group. Their loss – I was the only one who looked old enough to get served alcohol in the off licence. Me and the outcasts had a great time drinking Mad Dog 20/20 at the youth club
Cheers Joe – Mad Dog 20/20? Never heard of it!
Never heard of it? You disappoint me. With what tipple did you go on your youthful rampages with? Thunderbirds?
Homebrew……cider, lager, stout and ale – not the best
Needs must…needs must
It was rank stuff Joe – you had to add sugar to the drink to make is drinkable. Oh Dear.
Sounds quite nice the more you reveal..
It was fackin disgusting!
Well done GFB. Wonderful idea. People who are bullied nee all the support they can get.
Thanks Michelle
A tip of the cap to you for your effort!
Thanks Frank – hopefully it will help a few kids out.
We should all get together and beat up the bullies… oh… wait…
Give them a good kicking……ooops indeed!
So easy to get caught up in the moment.
