It's not a given though that you will be bullied because of hair colour, my friends's son is Year 11 and he has bright ginger hair, freckles the lot and he goes to a school which has a quite high percentage of black kids and he hasn't had too many problems, the odd thing here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary. At any age there are people who revel in putting others down or making them feel uncomfortable, we need to learn how to deal with it, because adults can be nasty too!
