hmmm...interesting thread.
I went to a really small school (high school graduating class: 89.) One of my best friends put a streak of green in her brown hair in junior high (seventh grade, or maybe eighth.) There was a major uproar... but none of it was from the students. There were a few guys that made fun of her the first day, but besides that, we all just went on with life. The "distraction" came from some of the teachers, and the principal who threatened to suspend her. Had they not made such a big deal about it, I don't think we would've even paid much attention.
