In 1889, the Oklahoma Land Rush began at high noon as thousands of settlers were allowed into the state to claim land.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My 14-year-old daughter recently came home from school sobbing because she said that a lot of the boys were calling her ugly. As her mother, I feel horrible and partially responsible since she takes after me. She looks so much like me when I was her age, and I hate to admit it, but it’s not a great thing. Seeing her so upset broke my heart. She locked herself in her room for hours and refused to eat dinner that night. What makes this situation even harder for me is that it brings back painful memories from my own teenage years. I struggled with low self-esteem growing up and was often teased for how I looked. I worked hard as an adult to move past that and build confidence in other areas of my life, but hearing my daughter repeat the same hurtful things about herself that I used to think about myself has been incredibly difficult.
