When she was ten, Winona Ryder and her family moved to [[Petaluma, California]]. During her first week at Kenilworth Junior High, she was bullied by children who mistook her for an [[effeminate]] boy.<ref name="bookref1" /> In 1983, 12-year-old Ryder enrolled at the [[American Conservatory Theater]] in nearby [[San Francisco]], where she took her first acting lessons. During the same year, she nearly drowned; the experience caused her to develop [[aquaphobia]].<ref name="bookref1" /> The [[psychological trauma]] caused problems later in her life during the underwater scenes in ''[[Alien Resurrection]]'' (1997), some of which had to be reshot numerous times.<ref name="bookref1" /> Ryder continued to be bullied through high school, when she achieved early film success with ''[[Beetlejuice]]'': "I remember thinking, 'Ooh, it's like the number-one movie. This is going to make things great at school.' But it made things worse. They called me a witch."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/entertainment/people/winona-ryder-marie-claire-541676|title=Winona Ryder On Stranger Things: 'I May Have Gone Too Far'|work=[[Marie Claire]]|date=September 29, 2017|access-date=April 13, 2018|archive-date=April 13, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180413194607/http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/entertainment/people/winona-ryder-marie-claire-541676|url-status=live}}</ref>

Ryder has said that her natural hair color is brown, but she was "really blonde as a kid";<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Ryder |first1=Winona |title=Winona Ryder & David Harbour Answer the Web's Most Searched Questions |url=https://www.wired.com/video/watch/autocomplete-inverviews-winona-ryder-david-harbour-answer-the-web-s-most-searched-questions |magazine=Wired |access-date=March 4, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191225235313/https://www.wired.com/video/watch/autocomplete-inverviews-winona-ryder-david-harbour-answer-the-web-s-most-searched-questions |archive-date=December 25, 2019 |date=July 8, 2019}}</ref> when she was 11 or 12, she started dyeing her blonde hair blue and purple.
