There are a lot of anti bullying ads focusing on being a bystander and helping victims, however many bullies are victims themselves. Many bullies stem from themselves being bullied, abused, or raised in an overall general bad environment. One ad focuses on being more than a bystander. While this solves the problem of stopping bullying as it happens, the bully should also receive help along with the victim to prevent any further problems. It is true that some people are just born to be bullies, in most cases there is an equally responsible party behind it. A new marketing message should be aimed at children who have fallen victims to abuse to aid them before they take on the traits of a bully. For example, a message like "If you do not get help then the victim can become the offender." could inspire people to try to get help if they are in this kind of situation. Many victims of bullying can suffer dire consequences such as suicide, shootings, or even becoming bullies themselves. One must remember that many solutions (suicide, murder) are permanent fixes to a temporary problem.
