The other day when I was flipping through the channels and saw something about cyberbullying on Anderson 360. I was so amazed and tried to look it up to find out what it was all about, but then I stubbled on a new national campaign that I heard about on Anderson 360, and wanted to know more.
This new campaign is called the NO BULL campaign. It is the nation's largest campaign against cyberbullying. This campaign encourages middle school and high school kids to make anti-bullying videos and put them up on the NO BULL campaign website. After I read this I thought it is a good idea, but what is the incentive for doing this? As i kept reading, there is a red carpet award ceremony in California, that will be aired on national television for the winners.
This campaign may seem like it will not get alot of followers, but it is being offered to millions of kids all over America. This campaign has also partnered up with many organizations such as the National Collaboration for Youth Boys and Girls Clubs of America. This campaign seems like it will go for. I will keep you updated on anything else I find on this NO BULL campaign.

I think I saw the same segment, it had Dr. Phil and some woman arguing about the psychology behind getting bullied. I think that the campaign is a good idea, but there needs to be more done focused on the parents of the kids. I think the parents have a bigger impact on teaching kids not to bully/how to handle bullies.
