Due to the different forms of violence in the school environment in recent years, the phenomenon of bullying has gained prominence. They are verbal, physical, psychological, moral, sexual aggressions that humiliate, intimidate and traumatize the victim. In view of this, a question arises: What is the position of the pedagogue and other teachers in the presence of a violent act in the classroom directed at obese students? This study has as theme bullying and obesity involving children in the school context. The objectives are to show school violence, point out violence, bullying and obesity, the effects and conflicts of bullying in the learning process of obese children in the school environment, and possible educational actions on the practice of bullying involving obese children found in the analyzes carried out. The emphasis we gave was to the studies of Lúcia Cavalcanti de Albuquerque Williams and the theorists who address the theme. The methodology adopted is based on qualitative research that focuses on trying to understand the “how” and is concerned with understanding the phenomena from the symbols or meanings attributed to them. This information was obtained from the analysis of videos available on the YouTube platform, under the eyes of Abramovay (2003), Fante (2005), Faleiros (2007), Freire (2011) Mattos et al., (2012), Pereira (2012), Pereira (2015) and Williams (2013). As research results, we identified that in the analyzed contents school violence is expressed in its various forms, such as: physical, verbal, psychological violence and school bullying caused to obese victims. However, this study did not intend to provide all the answers to such a complex problem, but to encourage thinking, interacting and seeking new knowledge and proposals for actions to tackle this issue in the school context.
