The aim of this study was to investigate how it manifests obesity in the school context. The study included 21 obese and 10 directors. Research instruments used were semi-structured interviews with adolescents and questionnaire with the directors. The results show that there is little dialogue between the families of obese and school; the directors are unaware of the treatments performed for obesity by his students, directors attribute the responsibility of feeding the nutritionist at the Department of Education; bullying was presented as a factor in the school context as well, obesity is not regarded as a disease or as a factor of social exclusion, the educators also disclaim any responsibility or interference in this matter. Finally, it appears that obese adolescents are neglected in the context studied.
