Punky, I was also bullied for my hair. I was bullied for everything. My clothes, my hair, my shoes, my glasses, even my face!.... everything. I used to stay home sick from school a lot to get away from them....

I would give you advice but I don't know how to make them stop. They didn't stop... it just slowly got better over time until they left me alone mostly, and I was an outcast (but at least not bullied.) My senior year in high school a fewp people appologized... but otherwise most of them just disappeared.
One of my bullies their dad was a friend of the family, and my dad went and talked to his dad. That kid in particular stopped but his friends got worse, so I know he told them and made it worse.
Middle school is a nightmare if you're the target...
