Little dark-haired girl, You Matter One of the goals that the editor of the paper had for columnists was to write about issues that are local and affect the local reader. I write a feel good column about how to be more successful in everyday life. I try to teach others to be, do and have things that matter to them by shaking them up and trying to get them to look at themselves dif- ferently. If you follow the media, you see the cyber-bullying has become a deadly issue amongst our teens. Children are being cruelly harassed and emotionally beaten and the anonymity of it is driving children to suicide. I grew up in Dairyville and went to a very small school. Cliques were as prevalent there, back in the day, as they are now at Any School USA. On the popularity scale I slid some- where between an eight and a two, I suppose, but there was one child that seemed to take the brunt of the meanness that pre-pubescent chil- dren had to dish out. I have no idea why one child would be identified as the receiver of targeted meanness. I have no idea why each of us would choose to behave in less than lady-like ways. Well, truth be told, I did it because it deflected the wrath from me for a while. I mean, I had weird social skills, I did not have the right clothes and I was a motor mouth accord- ing to my teacher. My point is that for years as I matured, I felt bad about my personal behavior from fourth through eighth grade. I spent time as a young adult reflecting on my words and my actions. I regret being mean to someone just to be popular. I certainly hated being made fun of so others could be popular. adult I would love to be able to make amends to you. If you are a young Faydra Rector Life Coach Little dark-haired girl, you matter. I have not shared your name to protect you, but I promise you that anyone in my class of 1983 will remember who you are and on behalf of them all I say we are sorry. You never deserved to be made fun of. You had beautiful, thick, dark hair, you were kind even when you had the right to hate. You were tough because you never let us see you sweat. You were very bright and I know you deserved so much better than you got from us. You made a differ- ence in my life because you taught me the value of kindness and as an bully, I say to you that you have no idea how much you are going to regret what you are doing. Your bullying is based on your self loathing and your own insecurities. Life has a funny way of biting you in the butt. What you sew, you will reap. If you are being bullied, listen clearly, this is a moment in time. One day you will be able to make your life better and be who you know you were meant to be. Do not allow the small minded- ness of a few turn you against yourself. Faydra Rector, MA is a mental health administrator, author, public speaker, educator and life coach who lives in Red Bluff.
