Many schools display numerous posters promoting anti-bullying messages, aiming to create a safe environment for students. Despite these efforts, the effectiveness of such posters is questionable because bullies may not pay attention to them or take them seriously.

"School are plastered with all sorts of NO BULLYING posters. There's only one problem: Bullies, it turns out, don't read too much." This quote highlights the gap between the intention of anti-bullying campaigns and the actual behavior of bullies, suggesting that visual reminders alone might not be enough to prevent bullying. James Patterson's book "I Funny" might explore themes around middle school struggles, including bullying issues.
