A young First Nations boy from Cold Lake, Alta., cut his long hair Saturday after enduring what his family called years of bullying in school.
Mylon McArthur, 8, told his mother Tiya-Marie Large he wanted to cut his hair, which had been long all his life, after feeling overwhelmed from constant bullying at Cold Lake Elementary School.
“He told me he did not want his hair anymore,” said Large. “I cried. His hair is who we are, it’s a part of us, it’s his language, it’s his pride.”
