All too often, bullied children
will not speak out about what is happening to them. Some will sink into
depression. Others will skip school. And in some cases, when it all gets to be
too much, some will take their own lives and end in tragedy.
In 2011, a campaign was launched
with partnership led by the Ad Council, who is famously known for introducing
memorable ads, such as Smokey the Bear and the “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive
Drunk.” The purpose of the campaign is to expose and eradicate the deadly
epidemic of bullying in the United States. They plan on doing so by empowering
parents with tools they can teach their kids in order to prevent any type of
bullying.
Unfortunately, many parents are not
properly prepared for this kind of conversation. They are concerned about
bullying, but usually only when it directly impacts their own child. That's why
the Ad Council has joined in vamping up outreach to parents about bullying.
Last month, the Ad Council
announced that it has partnered with Tilt, the world's largest Crowdfunding
platform, with a goal of raising $100,000 by December. All donations will go
towards future research and work for the bullying prevention campaign.
