试想一下,每天早上你上了校车,不是跟朋友闲聊,而是战战兢兢地呆坐,担心有人走上前来取笑你穿的衣服或发型。对于在德克萨斯州长大的主演《少狼》的明星赵雅顿来说,曾经每一天都是这样——只不过更糟糕。

Iwasbulliedforbeingdefferent
"BullyingbymypeersbeganwhenIwasabout8or9yearsold,"Ardensays."Onetime,IwaspushedoffaschoolbusandcalledaracialslurthatIdon'twanttorepeat."
“大约八九岁开始,我就被同龄人欺负。”雅顿说,“有一次,有人把我从校车上推下去,还用种族歧视语来骂我,凡此种种,我不想复述。”
悲哀的是,这并不是唯一一次欺凌升级为暴力。“还有一次,正在骑单车时我被人踢倒,摔趴在水泥地上。”雅顿说,“有人不停地踢我的脸,打落了我两颗门牙,还把另一颗踢裂了。”雅顿之痛,疼在身上也疼在心中。放学后,当别的同学在阳光下享受各种活动,她不得不因为伤痛而呆在室内。

“一个多月后我才从那次事故中痊愈。”她说,“我被迫呆在室内,等待满脸的伤疤愈合,否则太阳会留下晒痕。那时的我,心情恶劣到了极点。”

雅顿曾想过向成年人求助,但过去的经历让她却步。“上小学的时候,我被一位老师歧视和找茬,因为我属于另一个种族。”她说,“整个儿童和少年时代,我一直被欺侮。”

既然校园里无人可求助,雅顿感到只有一个选择:尽量融入大环境。“我最后悔的是,我把所有时间都花在试图合群上面。”她坦承道,“去成为一个我以为别人想我成为的人,这成了我享受中学生活的拖累。”

在学校备受折磨的雅顿,回家后在父母的怀抱里找到了安慰。

虽非一日之功,但对雅顿来说,生活渐渐变得容易起来——尤其是她找到了情之所系:表演。随着她不断地签约各种小角色,她开始看到欺凌的本质。“别人的看法,并不等于你的价值。”雅顿解释道,“不要为别人的赞许而活,记住,欺侮别人的人,只是因为他们要弥补自己内心的不安。”

逐梦的过程中,雅顿终于把她倾心的角色锁定在《少狼》中——她很高兴自己所扮演的人物真实可信。“我热爱跟瑞卡一起成长的感觉,因为她仍在寻找自我,这一点跟我们大家很相似。”雅顿说,“当我扮演瑞卡时,我要求自己自信满满,内心强大,但我完全能体会到她的挣扎。”

因此,如果你被欺负,或知晓谁正在被欺负,雅顿对你有话要说:“你绝对不是个案,被欺负的人比你想象的多。”她说,“所以,请你昂起头颅,保持真的自我。”
