Here at Alliance Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) Atlanta, we combine our experience dealing with teaching Self Defense and Self Preseverance techniques with the Research and Analysis of academic sources to help parents of victims of bullying and bully-victims to overcome the issues of physical and psychological abuse that they go through everyday. With the new research being done today, it is now possible to have a better understanding of bullying than what was previously thought. In the past there were thought to be only two categories, one bully and one victim, but with the new research techniques and the more attention drawn to bullying, we see that there is a third class called the bully-victim that was previously ignored. This bully-victim are students or children that are both bullies and recipients of bullying.

Here are a few Facts from the American Psycological Association

• Bullying occurs most frequently from sixth to eighth grade, with little variation between urban, suburban, town and rural areas.
• Males are more likely to be bullies and victims of bullying than females. Males are more likely to be physically bullied, while females are more likely to be verbally or psychologically bullied.
• Bullies and victims of bullying have difficulty adjusting to their environments, both socially and psychologically. Victims of bullying have greater difficulty making friends and are lonelier.
• Bullies are more likely to smoke and drink alcohol, and to be poorer students.
• Bully-victims–students who are both bullies and recipients of bullying–tend to experience social isolation, to do poorly in school and to engage in problem behaviors such as smoking and drinking.
