Hollywood actress Alicia Silverstone has revealed her son was bullied for having long hair, in a heartbreaking post on her Instagram page.
The Clueless star said her nine-year-old son Bear Blu was ridiculed by other kids on the bus to surf camp.
Despite the bullying, the 43-year-old mother said her head-strong son was determined to keep his locks long.
Posting on her Instagram page she said: "I just love him so much!
"Great Sunday hanging with my little baby. Well, I guess he’s not so little anymore! We went for a swim and now we’re getting ready to make some dinner!
"Also I just LOVE his hair in this image, I had to grab a quick pic. One time my son was made fun of by other kids because of his hair on a bus ride to surf camp.
"After he had returned and told me, I thought he would want to cut it for a haircut appointment we had already scheduled the next day, but when we showed up, he said “please give me a trim so I can grow it to my waist.”
"That’s my boy! He knows who he is. He loves his hair and chooses to have it long.
"Mama and Papa aren’t going to stop him from being him. He’s beautiful and we love his hair!
"We would never impose any social ideas about what hair on a boy or girl should look like. We should all try to embrace our children and who they choose to be without any judgement!
"Plus there are so many very handsome men who have long hair Brad Pitt, Harry Styles…. Jason Momoa… even Jesus... all long hair! Just sayin."
Alicia's parenting post gained thousands of comments and millions of likes from fellow parents who shared her view.
Alicia shared Bear Blu wth her ex-husband Christopher Jarecki.
