When she grew up, people spat on her and called her ”ugly ginger” – just because of her red hair. Today she’s completely unrecognizable and has left her bullies sweating with anxiety thanks to her new look.
Ever since we were little children, our parents taught us to never judge people based on their physical appearance. Sadly, there are still those who make assumptions about others based on their looks.
Jessica Gagen’s childhood wasn’t an easy one because she was constantly teased for her red hair. Her classmates called her names and made her days a living hell. Years later, however, she finally got her revenge when she was crowned Miss England in 2022.
What she looks like today will take your breath away.
Jessica, who is from Lancashire, England, stood out from the crowd because of her red hair. Sadly, her friends didn’t find this feature a cute one. On the contrary, they mocked her and made fun of her, so she was often left out from the social circles most of her classmates were part of. This made Jessica cry almost every day.
The bullying went so far that her classmates even spat on her and tried to burn her with a lighter because she had ”ginger hair.”
“I was name-called on the daily, and although I don’t think the kids were being malicious in doing, so there were definitely times they were. I was hit, spat at and had things thrown at my head quite a few times, but worst was when a girl burned me for having ginger hair,” she shared with The Mirror.
