Question

Olivia Rusk－an excellent bald girl

Olivia Rusk has filled a lot of roles for someone who’s 14．She is a model．She delivers encouraging speeches, she’s a talk-show host for Radio Disney．

Now the high school freshman from Indianapolis has published a book, Just Your Average Teenager Who Happens to Be Bald(秃顶) ．She hopes to give 20, 000 free copies to young people．

　 Where does she get her motivation to do so many things? At least partially, she credits her baldness. "Something that could have traumatized me has actually given me so many opportunities that I would have never had," she says. “Most people assume I have cancer," she says, "which is totally fine. (But) I'm not sick or anything."

　　　 She was hired by Radio Disney at age 10 after another on-air personality interviewed her about what it was like as a girl living without hair. Managers at Disney were so impressed with her articulate answers and maturity that they offered her a job.

　　　 She decided early in her childhood — months after losing most of her hair — not to cover up her condition. "When I was 8 years old, I got a custom wig(假发)," she says. "No one knew I was bald. It looked completely natural. But one day I woke up and said, 'Mom, I'm not wearing my wig to school. I want people to know the real me.' "

　　　 She speaks out against bullying（斯侮）through her group, Olivia's Cause. She does not recall ever being bullied herself — which she attributes to her confidence in dealing with others. She knows others with alopecia have been bullied, however, and has felt it necessary to form this group.

　　　 Her mom daily admires her daughter's pluck. "She's one of the strongest and most determined people I've known," Sandy Rusk says. "She's been that way since she was little."
