now I have seen your picture before and I don't think you're ugly at all...if I seen ya walking on the street and ya had blue hair, I wouldn't stare and be like "omg what are you?" I'd ask you where ya got the blue dye because I would want my hair that color lol...last year, I dyed my hair purple, well it turned out all crazy, it was half brown, half blonde, and the rest was purple (it was suppose to be just purple streaks but it ate thru the cap and went where ever it wanted to lol) but I loved it...anyways, ppl would look at me all the time and be like "why did you do that to your hair?" I'd say "uhm because it's my hair and I've always wanted it purple...is that alright?"...ppl already think that I'm a freak because I just randomly scream things w/o warning (can't say what I scream here lol)...I look at it this way, if ppl want to stare at me and judge me, then they're just close-minded idiots that don't even know me for me  |

I checked out your pictures and I think I may see what the problem could be. You have such pretty eyes and a very pretty face. You probably are the type that could attract attention just walking down the street. You must admit that most people do not dye their hair purple or blue. This attracts attention and people will stare. I know just recently my hubby and I were on our way to an appointment in a nearby town. We were stopped at a red light and I looked over and there was this teen with purple and orange hair and with earrings all over any place that could be seen. He looked like a person in a costume ready for a Halloween party and even a Christmas tree all lite up. I didn't stare but I did looked twice. You know..In my world I try to make sense out of everything. There's always a reason for most everything. But..For the life of me, I cannot understand this generation. What is going on? Why is it so necessary to dress as if you are dressed for Halloween,etc ? Why the different colors of hair? Why the earrings stuck every place you look? Why clothing that is either falling off and exposing private body parts or such a lack of clothing that the little worn may as well be nothing whatsoever? Where has common sense gone? Where has decency gone? Where has morals gone? What happened? I am not asking these questions to be smart aleck. I am really interested in hearing what some has to say about it. I would really like to get an idea as to what is going on.  |

Kids are just naturally curious! I just smile at them, and stare right back.. *hehe* .. yeah I get those stares sometimes too, not much you can do about them though, so I just.. smile.. nod, and carry on with whatever I was doing. If people choose to have a staring problem, so be it! Hey, they don't know you, I bet they are just.. curious like the kids! And NO you are not ugly at all!  |

Hon, you're going to have to expect some people to stare when you got blue hair. lol. It's not that you're a freak, it's that you are unique and interesting. I don't think they do it to be rude but lets face it...if you saw someone with a different kind of look you would check it out too. Everyone is going to have an opinion on how everyone else looks and dresses so don't take it personal. You're alright.  |

Honestly, I am a starer BUT its not because I think the person is ugly, its interest. I check out detail on a person. How they did certain things to get the look they have. I admit, some things have shocked me but its never a stare to intentionally make someone uncomfortable. Alot of times I think "wow! Now that's creative!"
dont take offense all the time, we arent all mean or intentionally rude

An awful lot of people get stuck in a certain time; a particular era, therefore forgetting just how weird or strange THEY might have appeared to others in THEIR era. Go back in history ; the 50's when kids who wore black leather jackets and ducktail haircuts and rebelled; elders screamed about what-is-this-world-coming-to, and protested and stared just as much. I remember in the 60's, of how weird and strange the Woodstock hippie's looked and acted, but looking back now, it wasn't so bad. And, oh good grief, the 70's Disco people. I can't stand to look back at those looks people had then! Yuck! EACH era has its shocking; DIFFERENT look, fads, trends and flavor. Some day YOU will look back at your blue hair and say to your grandchildren some of the SAME things people are saying to YOU.....and you can bet on it. I heard the other day a story about a woman who did not want her daughter getting all kinds of body piercings (knowing that she would regret it later on in life) but needed to get the point across in a way other than just simply saying no. She got together a bunch of grandparents who went through the beatnik and or the hippie generations, and who dressed up in Retro to their respective era's and made a video. She showed it to her daughter with some of her daughters friends. The daughter and her friends sat on the floor looking at these "Old" farts with their weird and ugly tattoo's (which looked cool when they were young) and howled with laughter at the Afro's, the language, dress and mannerisms of these "old" people. It worked. Sometime later, the daughter said she couldn't see herself at 50 yrs old one day with a big ole hole or holes in her nose, eyebrows, or tattoo's she had to cover up, because kids would point and laugh at HER in the same way. To me, as long as kids do not do something PERMANENT, they can wear anything, and look anyway they wish. Body piercings, and tatoo's are PERMANENT. Blue hair is not.  |

i looked at your pix and you look really cute 8-) maybe they truly are just checking you out - stares - sometimes i've gotten them when dating older men, you simply DON"T stand for it. you stare back, just for a bit, give them a chance to change their ways - if not, you keep looking them dead in the eyes, while you raise your voice loud enough for the whole room to hear, and, as if speaking to your buddies say something like " I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT FAT OLD LADY WITH THE BAGS UNDER HER EYES AND FAKE JEWELRY FEELS THE NEED TO STARE MY WAY - BUT IF SHE DOESN'T QUIT SHE'LL BY &* GOD WISH SHE HAD"......but then, i tend to go a little crazy sometimes *-) ..suffice it to say, i don't get stared at 8-)  |

Yesterday people were staring at me in the grocery store; but I think it was because I was in the express line and the only one not buying beer and cigarettes. I was buying watermelon, pineapple, ice, and some sandwiches. Anyways if you don't like the wandering eyes the only thing that might make them stop is to conform to conservative hair styles and clothing.  |

People are just not used to seeing an individual. You stand out and are therefore "stare worthy". I got the stare last week. I was riding my bike to work and came up to a car that had the stero blasting and the windows down. The driver had on some rap tune but I could feel the base from a block away. He was stopped at a red light. So as I came up to his car and the red light I was kind of making my bike dance to the beat of his rap. With a MF this and a MF that I was dancing on my bike when the driver looked over. He just wasn't amused to see some middle aged guy in a Hawaiian shirt dancing on his mountain bike to his music. That's when I got the start of death from him. It made me laugh. The light changed and he peeled out.  |

You know, there are valid people in this world that get stared at because they had horrible accidents and have scarred faces, are missing limbs, or have some kind of natural birth defect that they cannot change. Then there are people like yourself that make the choice to purposely stick out from other people by wearing the different clothes, different colored hair, tons of earrings and tattoos all over the place. You made the choice, don't sit here and complain about it like you deserve the chance to be treated like a normal human being when those that should be aren't because of unavoidable circumstances. The whole "It's what's on the inside that matters" is garbage. It may very well SHOULD be what is on the inside that matters but face reality here, you are a book and you are judged by your cover. Appearance whether anyone likes it or not makes the FIRST impression.  |

Yes I have noticed this about you too. But you know you're not a freak. Its something you know in heart. The worst thing is if you're near a lake, with hard greene reeds lining the sides, with a boat and your oars, with swans and thy're swans who wait for you to row by, like they were at a bus stop, and you have not the bread. But they look anywawy. Same applies to much of animal life. Except cats. Roads and trees, though. they make you feel like proper silly beggars. As if almost you're a stalk of beady eyes.  |

Ok, I hadn't seen your picture, so I also checked it out. You really are very beautiful; and are someone who would just naturally stand out even without blue hair. You know what? I don't have blue hair, but I am stared at all the time. I also know why. It isn't a conscious effort to stand out or be different either; it is but for the virtual fact that I try to always dress really stylish, wear nice jewelery, and am always well-groomed, have good posture and carry myself with confidence, and have a great outgoing attitude. THAT really stands out today amongst so many flip-flops, cut-offs, T-shirts, fatigues, and extremely casual, laid back, let-it-all-hang-out world. Many times I know it is envious stares, and take it as a compliment; even though there are those who for what ever reason ASSUME I am a "snob". If YOU are looking; and or wearing what makes YOU happy; then it shouldn't be that big a deal. Think of the starer as someone who wishes THEY could do the same, or they perhaps are backward and ignorant; in which case, you should just blow em off as just another nut job and be on about your business. |

I absolutely detest the stares my son gets when we're out and about. He's disabled and clearly has had brain surgery. But very rude people stare and it bothers me. Oh, they've had many a sarcastic comment off me but they don't even bother to apologise so now I'm changing tack... My son is learning to talk and is doing quite nicely, so I've taught him to say, "It's rude to stare." Using Pavlovian techniques, I'm working on him saying this when I touch his right shoulder which will be as soon as I see someone staring (he won't be aware of them doing so). The idea is that when he says this, they'll be so shocked at their own rudeness and hopefully will be too ashamed to do it again.  |

If you really want to stand out, wear hair curlers and flip flops. I have heard so many posts about girls who say "I have blue and yellow striped hair, but I don't want to stand out!" Yeah right. "Why do people stare?" Yeah right. "Why can't I just be looked on as normal?" Yeah right. If people didn't stare at you, you'd be worried. That's the whole point of it all.... getting noticed. |

Sam Spade, I would love to watch the people's reaction after hearing your son say that. I used to be friends with this one girl that was handicap. I knew her since grade school thru high school. Her speech wasn't too well but it kept improving. She was at first in a wheelchair, those handle things that some old folks use somethings, then to hand braces type things and she finally learned to walk on her own. People used to make fun of her all the time and that would just drive me mad. I haven't talked to her ever since graduation. She's such a strong person and doesn't let anyone or anything get to her. |
