2. Anti-Bullying Advert There has been as series of adverts released to try and draw attention to the seriousness of the situation and raise awareness to bullying, particularly amongst young people. One of the first major adverts to try these was an advert for a campaign to raise awareness. Around this time, bands were released and seen fashionable to wear, they represented different issues and were designed for people to show support. Capturing on this success was the beat bullying wristbands and were worn by various Celebrities who were supporting the cause, such as Rio Ferdinand and Sharon Osbourne.
3. Anti-Bullying Advert Another one of these types of advert was more recent and was actually banned from TV. It shown a girl aged around 15-16 who was a victim of bullying. It shown her sewing up her mouth (As shown below) and was trying to convey the message about not suffering in silence. The advert is quite hard-hitting but affective at the same time.
