2011-08-14 00:01:33 UTC
What the heck? It's so rude! I am albino so I have white hair and red eyes. I am begging my mom for colored contacts because I can't stand it!!! I'm 10 years old and in fifth grade. And I don't want to hear it about how I'm too young. I don't care. I am so sick of life people taunt me saying I'm a vampire and run away when ever I talk to them just to make me feel bad. People stare at me and think I'm some kind of freak. Plz help!

When someone says you're so pale, tell a joke like, "yeah, I accidentally used WAY too much sunscreen..." or if they call you a vampire say, "no, not a bampire. Im a zombie!" make a joke of it yourself! Teasers lose their power when they realize the teasing doesn't bother you. Everyone is unique in their own way. When you get older and into make up and hair, you're going to be able to create some very unique, beautiful looks that no one else will be able to do no matter how hard they try. Maybe compromise with your mom and ask her if you can use colored contacts when you get a little older, like maybe middle school. Embrace your uniqueness!

You are you. I felt the same way for different reasons. You have individuality that's rare you should be happy it seems stupid now but in a couple of years it will be over. You have to keep your head up high for all those who can't. This is how you were made there Is a reason it took me about 3 years to realize it.

Word to the wise: we're dealing with a fairly energetic troll. Just so you know! Naturally, disregard my answer. I seem to keep running into you, dear. Diverse stories, but it's getting a little old.



It's fairly unusual for a 10 year old girl to suddenly turn 13 and have an 8 year old obese son etc etc, and be constantly crossposting for "angry troll for jesus".



I wonder what's so usual about you that you can't get people to be interested in you personally. Why not tell us about yourself? :) seriously. i do think you're about 13 for real ^^ .. i'm thinking there's a pretty good chance you're not a girl though! ah, boys entering puberty. special behaviour! i will credit you with having a certain amount of energy to burn though. i think skateboarding would be a better hobby though. it's cooler and might actually make people like you. seriously!



be talking to you soon though, i guess, you seem to have quite a presence here.

Hi Mermaid Girl,



people can be idiots, and very ignorant - many will judge people purely based on looks, and this affects soooo many different kinds of people. And it affects their confidence.



I think you are almost certainly beautiful as you are - and probably your Mum wants you to accept yourself that way. I think most of us think you sound pretty cool!



But I can understand - kids at school are usually cruel to anyone they perceive as different. Having different coloured eyes would be a pot of gold for some bullies. I know you just don't want to be hassled - you want to be seen as a cute little girl just like any other little girl.



I'm hoping there might be a counsellor at your school, or a teacher or teacher's aide that you might trust? If you were to try talking to another adult, particularly a teacher if they see the grief that you have to put up with, I'm wondering whether they might be able to have a chat with you and your mum together. I'm sure your Mum wants you to be happy. She probably doesn't want to do the contacts because you're young but also she doesn't want you to feel like you should have to cover up who you really are.



And look, neither do I. But I can imagine that 10 year old kids hassling you about your eyes would really, really suck, and I think your mum should hear you out on this one, as wearing contacts would be your choice, and you could always stop if you felt like you were in a more comfortable environment. It's a matter of weighing up the pros and cons for you personally. It's easy for us to say you shouldn't care, but it's also your personal decision, really.



Just remember that loads of kids get singled out all over the world, many for things they simply cannot change - including many who later become stars. Lots of people try to change themselves only to realise later they are most valued for what they most felt they had to hide x

study hard be a successful man and someday people would realize that you are a man worth being a friend.

Thats actually really Cool! You should be happy for being who you are. Honestly your young now, you care about what people think because your like that and your young. But as you get older your gona appreciate who you are. Anybody who thinks your strange needs to get a life! And you should stop caring about them thinking your strange.

Everything will be fine .

Maybe you and you mom should sit down and talk about it. If your parents are albino too (sorry I dunno if this is genetic or not... :|) then ask them how they dealt with it or surf the Net and see how other kiddo's have coped with it. Hope that helps! :)
