With 'Skip the Bully,' those people are held accountable by having some of their abilities taken away on the site -- with anyone deemed guilty of online harassment not given the option to skip over the often lengthy ads that appear before videos.

The campaign was created by Miami Ad School in order to decrease the rate at which cyberbullying happens, making people think twice before they leave a hurtful comment.
