How to be a Redhead
Growing Up Ginger: Reddit Stories on Bullying & Pride
In this episode of the How to be a Redhead Podcast, we’re celebrating Halloween with a special look at what it’s really like to grow up with red hair — from schoolyard teasing to funny, unforgettable memories that only redheads can relate to. Inspired by real Reddit conversations, we talk about how childhood experiences shape confidence, what’s changed for redhead kids today, and how that unique attention follows many of us into adulthood and even parenthood. Plus, we’re sharing our favorite Halloween costumes, childhood trick-or-treat stories, and why red hair always seems to steal the spotlight this time of year. Whether you were the only redhead in your class or you’re now raising one of your own, this episode celebrates the challenges, pride, and power of standing out.
We'll see you on Wednesday for a special National #LoveYourRedHairDay episode!
