School bullying(欺凌)has long been seen as an unfriendly practice of adolescence with terrible results. Now the “Be More Than a Bystander” campaign organized by Advertising Council, a nonprofit organization, is aiming to remove school bullying by urging parents to teach their children to face such behavior.
It makes use of a series of television, print and online ads to promote the idea that if witnesses know what to do, they can take various steps, such as moving the victim away from the situation or reporting it to an adult, to stop the bullying.
"Parents talk to their kids about drugs, sex, drinking and driving,” said Peggy Conlon, president of the Ad Council, “but they are not always active in bullying-control. ” 80% of high school students see bullying behavior firsthand at least weekly,but parents are less aware of it, with only about 50 percent realizing that bullying occurs frequently, according to a research by DoSomething. org.
The council tested many ways and decided on the parental focus after reading a report from DoSomething. org. It wants to remind parents that what their kids are witnessing is serious, and it can have terrible effects.
”Parents are still influential," said Ms. Thomas, a volunteer for the campaign, “ We've changed the culture of letting friends drive when they're drunk. The message we want to convey now is that your involvement can make a difference. ”
The activity is winning support from all the walks of life. The medical company Johnson & Johnson is providing funds. AOL is donating space for ads, a video feature on its home page. Magazines like Parenting as well as some newspapers nationwide will also run print ads free to spread awareness of the anti-bullying campaign.

It was lunchtime and I walked into a small branch bank on the West Side. I had come to 1 a checking account. The only officer on 2 was a fortyish black man, standing 3 a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater. I thought I was especially 4 of the boy because he looked more like from a prep school than a 5 in a West Side bank.
The boy continued to 6 my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and 7 an expression of disappointment. “But I don’t understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I 8 any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking.
“I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not 9 to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently.
Suddenly I noticed the 10 had a series of small deposits (存款) and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you 11 that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked 12 . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. It’s really very 13 .” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “You’re really getting 14 ,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come here and protest.” The boy looked destroyed. 15 , he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank.
The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got 16 .” I couldn’t believe what he was saying. “We were 17 this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲诈) this boy for more than a month. The guy was 18 him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was 19 too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and they’ll probably make a(n) 20 today.”
“You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?”
“Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”
