I try not to push them. They still let me stay in the house. Even if I can't eat at the dinner table and am banished to my room.

If I do so I would probably end up on the streets.[/quote]

Ok that actually makes me angry. Do you Parents actually READ the freaking Bible!? Seriously, someone should sort them the hell out. Not only are they being completely unjust to you but they're making the rest of Christianity look like a group of moronic MEDIEVAL PEASANTS! And there are more than enough loud-mouth halfwits making the majority look bad as it is. If the church where you are did what you say it did then I can tell you now that it is NOT a Christian Church, even if it claims to be. I just... ARRRGHH!

Sorry, just needed to get that out. Seriously though, it does sound like you got ALL the short straws there. I hope things get better for you. I personally think Red eyes are Awesome-cool and would love it if my eyes were Red. :)

I was alwayes the weird, freakish outcast. I still am. I admit, I never went through anything that resembles the way you are treated by your parants(This is horrible... Mosntrous, unbelivable. I feels me with sorrow to think that people are capble of hating their own children so much, for a crime they never commited.). While my parants were alwayes supportive, I am no stranger to notes on lockers or to nicknames or to people walking away in disgust when I try to approach them. (Amusingly, this is all because I am a geek. Because I like reading books. I am a sociopath, I am intolerent of stuipedity, I am creepy and I am as socially inept as most autists, but they hate me for the BOOKS). And you know what? In the beginning I was really hurt. It hurts when people go sit somewhere else when you are getting close because they don't want to be seen next to you. But with time, I got used to it. I embraced my "weirdness", my "geekness". I walked proudly and presented myself to people as "Leonard, geekish outcast". I laughed when they made up stuiped jokes about me and I even made some about myself. Not only did people stopped harrasing me(Most of them) when they understood I am not actually harrased, some people actually started appreaciating me for what I am.(They alwayes came when they wanted to copy homework, of course, but now they were interested in me as a person). I know your situation is differant. You cannot just take of your lenses because you wouldn't see, and you can't alter your genes. But you can try changing your attitude. Embrace the image they give you. Be a witch, be a demon, be a rozen maiden or whatever you want to be. If they tell you your eyes are red, tell them "Yes. Yours are brown/blue/whatever". Show them you cannot be pissed off and they will cease to try. Trust me, at least some of them will actually think you are pretty cool. I would definetly think so.
By the way, I am glad that you found a person who likes you despite your genetic "defect". He is a good person, if he can look at people through the lenses of his soul rather than those of his eyes. Stick to him.
By the way, where do you live? It seems from the behaviour of your parants and schoolmates that you live in dark ages france or something, but this probably not the case...

Hope you will get better,
Leonard

P.S. My grandmother has two differantly coloured eyes and was also picked on at school for that. People are horrible.

"The" Church is a collection of retards and suckers, be thankful you have a natural trait that repels them, but it sucks to have parents who favor mythological bullshit over their own child.
I think you just summed up every single religion with that "mythological bullshit" part.

I'm strange and its always helped me, although the fact I' more psycho strange then weird strange might be why. Never got bullied at school since the yobbish types just try and avoid me outright, but lots of people are interested in me because of this and so I have attracted a large number of friends. The wonders of schizophrenia.

Whats so wrong with red eyes?


Dribbling fan girl aside, I imagine these people are complete morons who can't accept people's differences. Those sort of people mean nothing, and you should simply ignore them.

Surely there's someone at school you can talk to about the bullying, if teachers don't do anything about it, you can get the police involved.
I'd love red eyes... I was born on Friday 13th and have 666 in my birth so I know how it feels like to be called Satan's child, just laugh it off :p

In my eyes i find it better to be out of the crowd or wierd because if your in the "in" crowd then you will want to start changing or smoking to be more like the popular kids.
Also if they ever start picking on you because of the way you look tell em their as bad as hitler for hating somone that looks different.

Are you tired of being the weird person that no one will talk to? Tell your tale and/or thoughts:

I was born with naturally red eyes (genetic defect) yet my right is darker than my left (which is also my worst eye). All my life I have been called a "witch", a "demon", and "the daughter of Satan" by people who saw my eyes. My parents were banned from their church because of this, and they've never forgiven me for it.

This changed (somewhat) in 2004 when I had to get corrective lenses for my left eye which was becoming worse, and contacts were my only option. I wanted to get a different colored iris to hide my left eye so my optometrist decided to make it green since green is the pposite of red on the color spectrum. So I ended up looking like Suiseiseki prior to Rozen Maiden. This was not a problem until I enter high school 3 years ago, and by then a few had seen RM. So then I became the laughing stock of my school.

Now they call me a "nerd" and a cosplayer" and that I dyed my hair brown (which I didn't). My reputation is so trashed at school that no one will talk to me except for my boyfriend will talk to me. I have to keep Clorox wipes in my locker because someone writes "Desu" all over my locker every day. It gets even worse when I get home, where my parents want nothing to do with me.
Ouch. I mean, I've been treated like an outsider before and a weird person before, but nothing THAT extreme where your parents won't even talk to you. Tough break there. :.(

As for me, I'm autistic and was bullied for seven years of my life. It all started when I moved to a different school and after then, it just got worse and worse.

When I entered secondary school, I started being bullied outside school as well.

I have had stones thrown at me, my house and my family. I've had snowballs thrown at me, I have had anti-freeze sprayed on me, I have been shoved into doors and abused on websites by the same people. after two years of secondary school, I wanted to kill myself, and for the next four years, I actually dreamt about suicide.

It has gotten better since then, and there are some things I just don't want to mention on the internet (Even on something as confidential and anonymous as the escapist), but I hope you like my story.

Generally it's good to like a person before you meat them. What if they had your child?

Yeah, that particular sect sounds like it's definitely not a true Christian one. Honestly, the OP is lucky that her parents got kicked out, because it sounds like one of those creepy cults where the leader has about 10 wives, all of whom are under the age of 18. She definitely did get all the short straws though.

Where the hell do you live? XVI century?
Agree. I would love to have red eyes. Would be awesome.

But don't worry, people laugh at my accent. I sound a bit French. Even moreso, as when we were having visitors from England, France and Germany, I got a (phonetically, of course) text to write in French... Oh well, I'm still a proud francophobe.

I wish you'd known that a few days ago, you could have shown me! That would have been cool, I love it when people's eyes are different colours, it's very unique.
Nah, mine's nothing special. Just a pronouncedly yellow ring around my pupil. It's fairly thin, but in the right light makes my eyes look green. =D
I have that yellow ring too! Yay!

OK, no offence, but your community is smokin' some crack.
Yup, you have red eyes, you must be Satan. Sounds logical.
(This also explains your avatar).

Pertaining to the discussion itself, I'm not weird. I'm just...

Hmm, I'll get back to you on that one...

Take it from me, there can be plenty of opportunities (moneymaking and others) available for the weird person. You just have to find an appreciation for your weirdness and finish high school.

Your parents should consider you a greater blessing than any church can bestow; unless of course they're totally superstitious/batshit crazy, in which case: don't worry, you'll be taking care of them (or not) before long.

Never be tired of being the weird person.

All because of Eye color? That really sucks dude. Meh, people are stupid, what are you gonna do? I would take red eyes over my boring 'ol brown ones any day.
What would you rather be:

A supposed cosplaying nerd, or a red-eyed demon child. (put some serious thought into it)
Demon child, hell yea, They give you shit, take some sulhate floroxide* and go creepy on there ass

*WARNING* the naem Is probably wrong, there is a chemical with the opostie reaction to helium which makes your vioce rather demonic, breathe some turn around and mutter some random evil sounding stuff, they wont bother you again.

Meh.. it's funny to see how one church can give a whole religion a bad name...

OT: the only weird thing about me (as far as i know) is that my skin went yellow when i was young. But that had something to do with my kidneys. I had to go to the hospital for a few days and i got my beautifull white skin back.

I also think that people who make fun off others, do that because they want to hide their own unperfectnes (is this a word?). Everyone is unique. That will give everyone positive and negative things.

So if you get bullied know that the person that does that probably got his own problems. That's the way I see it.
