When Randy Smalls found out that his daughter, Re’Onna, was in a group of students who bullied a girl at school, he couldn’t bear to sit back and do nothing about it.
当兰迪·斯莫斯(Randy Smalls)发现他的女儿雷纳娜(Re 'Onna)在学校欺负一个女孩时,他不能坐视不管,什么也不做。
As someone all-too-familiar with being bullied, he felt they should say sorry to Ryan Reese, the girl who was getting picked on. And in doing so, he also found a way to teach his own daughter a lesson. He decided to help Ryan buy brand new clothes. Re’Onna was upset, especially because she is into fashion. So Randy asked her to come with them and help pick out Ryan’s new clothes.
作为一个非常熟悉被欺负的人,他觉得他们应该向瑞恩·里斯,那个被欺负的女孩道歉。在这样做的过程中,他也找到了给自己女儿一个教训的方法。他决定帮瑞恩买全新的衣服。雷纳很沮丧,尤其是因为她喜欢时尚。所以兰迪让她和他们一起去,帮瑞恩挑选新衣服。
In addition to buying lots of new clothes, Randy also took the then-13-year-old to get her hair done at a salon(美发厅)—he even committed to paying for the twice-a-month upkeep of her new clothes until the end of the year! Best of all, Randy’s generosity became contagious. Several local salons also offered to help keep her looking beautiful in the months that followed.
除了买很多新衣服,兰迪还带着这个当时只有13岁的女孩去美容院做头发——他甚至承诺每月为她支付两次新衣服的保养费,直到年底!最重要的是,兰迪的慷慨具有传染性。在接下来的几个月里,当地的几家沙龙也愿意帮助她保持美丽。
As upset as Re’Onna was at first, the more time she spent with Ryan, the more she began to truly understand the importance of not bullying. Not only because it’s not okay to hurt others but because you never know what someone else is going through. For Ryan, that included losing her dad, grandpa, and aunt in a short period of time. “I wasn’t expecting it,” Ryan said. “I just started to cry. It was really sad for me because I had already lost my grandpa, father, and aunt, and it really took me deeper down in my depression(抑郁).”
尽管雷娜一开始很沮丧,但她和瑞安在一起的时间越长,她就越开始真正理解不欺凌他人的重要性。不仅因为伤害别人是不对的,还因为你永远不知道别人在经历什么。对瑞恩来说,这包括在短时间内失去她的爸爸、爷爷和阿姨。“我没想到会这样,”瑞安说。“我哭了起来。这对我来说真的很难过,因为我已经失去了爷爷、爸爸和阿姨,这真的让我陷入了更深的抑郁之中。”
