If I may ask... where exactly do you live? If you live in the Southern US it'd make sense, being the Bible Belt and all..

Also, Welcome to the Escapist! I hope you enjoy yourself here. Don't worry, we're all very nice people, despite how scary some of us may seem.

Also, if I knew you in my hometown, I would probably be all over the fact that your eyes are red. I have a thing for people with unique genetic traits... Probably why I want to be a Geneticist when I get older.

I'm sorry, but the people around you are idiots who fuck around with false Christianity. I'd understand it a bit more with Hinduism, or any other reincarnation-based religion, but...
Ugh...

Yeah, College will be better; if you go to an all-women's college, though, your eyes might get you the attention of lesbian anime nerds...

Oh, and did I mention that I started college at 14? That gets a lot of awkward, albeit often positive, attention. Its just that I get from a lot of people that I should go back to highschool. I get it even now, at 17, just 'cause I'm listed as having started at a young age.
I believe in genetics, evolution, and energy reincarnation wherein the energy taht was contained inside someone when they lived has an imprint of them on it and whent he energy passes into a new person once you die, it acts like a soul because it has part of you imprinted on it (if that makes any sense, it's just my theory and I know parts make no sense, I haven't thought hard about it in awhile. It makes about as much sense as all the other religious beliefs though)
And less about what you quoted now...
Your lucky going to college that young, I could understand quantum physics at 14, but no luck getting through the boring stuff I memorise in 5 minutes. Ohm's Law, Resistance of a parallel circuit and crap like that were the most interesting things I did all year in Science. So eeeasssy!

I wish my church had banned my parents. I would've had a much happier childhood.

In that sleeping in on Sunday would have made me a happy child.

Your parents blamed you for the church thing? It was their genes that gave you red eyes, they should be punching themselves in the genitals. Stupid parents, bring the devil child into the world. That's what you should say to them. Blame them right back. Them and their stupid genes. Then punch them in the genitals with your demon power.
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.
okay first of all ITS A GENETIC DEFECT = NOT YOUR FAULT!! you know during middle school i was a chubby (jokes many jokes) and asian (stereotypes :() i was made fun of so much that i resulted in assaults to many ass holeish sons of bitches. it was happening with some friends (i was actually considered cool?) and i had more in common with my bros college friends. well tell you parents TO GO FUCK THEM SELVES. GENETICS DOSENT MEAN DEVIL IT MEANS DEFECT. isn it against the law? report them and go to your boyfriends house (maybe have his parents accepted you?) or a Atheism foster home. also sorry your parents are more into their status. i honestly thought that i had the worst life but...... sorry
My parents do not beleive in genetics. Apparently the church they used to go to must have brainwashed them into beleiving that Jesus determines how you look.
ok well this is why so many threads have a is religon right or wrong thread. also i was an informed child i knew what will eventually happen and about life and death. i was a very depressed child : (. ok well i hope you get a beter life and well hope your asshole schoolmates get a deathnote (yup anime refrences). @_@ i rant alot.

I used to have the same problem. Don't worry about it. Most girls don't think like that once they get a bit older and more mature, and the ones who do aren't worth paying attention to. In fact, I've found that massive height is often a plus.

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.
Go to college. Go to college early if you have to. It's so much better there.

I have a speech impediment, so I was assumed to be retarded, gay, or both. I was thrown out of the advanced classes (even though I scored in the 98th percentile on the standardized tests) and I occasionally got beat up. Fortunately the same neural problem that gives me a speech impediment also made me immune to pain which give me edge against my attackers and allowed me to win some really impressive fights.
Immune to pain!?!?!
HOLY CRAP MAN!
That's either totally awesome, or absolutely horrible. You could break a rib and not know it, then do some strenuous excercise and po a lung, or you could put your hand on an element on the stove while it's on and not notice.

Does it kill your entire sense of touch, or just pain?

I'm the quiet and rather intelligent person that just kinda sits in a corner to work on a project or homework, which lasts for about a half hour or less depending on how difficult the work is. Not really weird but if other people around me talk to me then I either freeze up or I make reference to a game or anime depending on what the situation is. Also the red eyes thing is cool, my eyes are hazel so they look like either green, blue or brown on different days.

My story has been I was always the quiet "nerdy" kid who had no social life and just sat in the basement playing video games and never had any friends. I was ignored for the most part of my life, not by my parents but by the other kids. I was too little to play sports, too shy to make friends. I always took refuge in my video games, the one place that I could do what i wanted to do without being made fun of (it would be a pretty wierd if the NPC's told you you were a loser for playing the game huh). It was also the place i had control and could actual be someone. I could be the "hero" and so i just got made fun of more for the amount of video games I played. Then internet games and voice chat came around and i've actually made quite a few lasting friendships through video games.

I don't see why people think "gamers" have no lives. We probably interact, joke with, work on teams with a lot more people than others do, its just not face to face. And why are video games such a bad thing? In sports, you practice, play multiple games, work with teammates, get better, play in tournaments. Isn't that the exact same thing you do in video games? So how come gamers get the short end of the stick. A lot of us put in way more time and energy and effort and build up more knowledge and skill and brain work than non-gamers at whatever they do.

Maybe the "normal" kids are just to insecure about not being cool so they have to make fun of the kids who don't need to be "cool" to have fun and have a good life :p Go hang with the jerks and self centered fake kids. I'll go chill with my genuine friends and have a night to remember eating mushrooms, shooting zombies, leveling up, and running through an aperture science facility

As a geneticist that's..... just no.

Trust me, college will be better. Even if your parents refuse to pay for it, there's plenty of scholarship money out there.

Both, actually. A cosplaying nerd demon-child. Ohhhh yeah. I'd be so metal if I was like that.

I prefer being strange because I meet and interact with interesting people. They make for far better conversation than those who are more 'normal'. Most people look at me oddly when I tell them I don't want to be normal but hey, that's their problem rather than mine. I'll just hang back here with the freaks cackling and acting snooty until they get the hell over it and grow up.

Dubious words.
You know, I'm not sure if you're telling the truth. If you are, you're extremely rare, as there are only around twenty known cases of true red eyes in the world. And those that are aren't a case of a genetic defect, but simply a storage of melanin in the iris.

If you aren't lying, then I'm sorry for being mistrusting. But your posts stroke an odd chord with me, they didn't seem quite legitimate.

As for tired of being the weird person, I was said person and decided to stop being so. After going to an anime con, surprisingly enough. Being thrown in with a group of people I didn't know and being forced to socialise really helped me, and now I can converse with all sorts of people.
I wouldn't say I'm popular, but I'm no longer bullied.

OP: You have natrual red eyes? That is AWESOME D:

Anyway, I quite enjoy being "weird", I have a 10" bright green mohawk (admitedly, it's more greejnish-blonde now), and a leather jacket that is written all over it, and I don't mind... Sure I chose to be this way, and people still mock me at times, usually they're complete strangers (I am SO tired of the chicken-jokes... Okay, I get it, mohawk -> Chicken, fine). But it's all about finding the right people to hang out with.

When I was 10, I was laughed at because of an accident in football, I somehow got my chest uneven (the right part of my chest was out while the left part was in), I had to walk differently and it made me look weird, It hurt if I tried to play football again but it slowly went back in, its still uneven but it hurts less and I can walk normally.

I dont know exacly what happend that made it pop out so freakishly, all I know is that docter said it would go back in time, and that if he didnt there would have to be surgery D: I just wish he didnt tell my mom that in front of me "oh its like open heart surgery" ugh....
He said SOMETHING like that but god damn it was uncomfurtable.

The problem that I have is that I have to break it to people that they're particularly normal.
One such conversation went:
"Oh, you're so weird, *insert my name here*"
"So, you're normal, then?"
"No, I'm not! I like being weird!"

I just look at them, see nothing unique about them, and remain silent. That's the problem; I'm supposed to be surrounded by the freak genius kids, but they're the ones complaining about me using "big words."
In other news: I am getting a loft next year, and am rooming with a quiet person and Lets Play enthusiast. The future looks bright and very far away from the people who are bothering me.

MGS2 has after a few hours of playing the colonel tells you to stop playing the game, so in a way the game is kinda making fun of you for playing so long in a single session, I could be mistaken but that's because I haven't played the game in a while.

I wasn't completely immune but anything less than plane crash wouldn't faze me. It affected my sense of touch which means I'd be hanging out with a really nice girl and then realize I had a giant emo cut on wrist I didn't remember getting. When I was a kid I'd get really tired outside during the winter without realizing I was getting hypothermia. Fortunately my neurology changed slightly as I grew older and I can go out during the winter without having to worry about freezing to death.

It's cool you're asking for other stories, not just broadcasting a sob story (which is not to trivialize your situation).
I have birthmarks in my eyes. It's more prominent in the left, but it's hazel showing up in the blue. I guess old superstition says it makes my ornery. Maybe something to that.
I'm just surprised to hear that people are actually subscribing to an archaic "physical difference=demon" dogma.
Where do you live?

That's actually what leprosy does. Contrary to what many people believe, leprosy doesn't cause peoples limbs to rot or fall off. It just kill the nerves in certain areas, so the leper doesn't notice when their limb is gradually being eaten away by external forces (Burns, cuts, etc.).
