One problem related to obesity that reflects a lot in the lives of all overweight people is prejudice. Within this context, the present work aims to show, through bibliographical research, how gordofobia affects women since the years of elementary education. This prejudice has remained unknown for a long time and research on it is recent. However, the fat-phobic practice has been around for a long time. The choice of this theme arose because the author has already been a victim of such prejudice, even in adulthood, causing years of problems and treatments. If this prejudice in adult life causes serious problems, in childhood the reaction to it is even worse. Thinking about this, one notices the need for research and ideas that might lead one to think of possible solutions to work with gophobia in schools. The personality of the child is formed in childhood, so the emotional damage occasioned at this stage may accompany her for the rest of her life. In addition to the psychological and social problems of obese children, they are often abused and discriminated against by their friends, where they are excluded from activities and often ridiculed. They tend, therefore, to exhibit feelings of inferiority and rejection, a sense of failure, and low self-esteem. Thus, it is hoped to contribute to a wide discussion in schools about the prejudice to people who are overweight, as it is a relevant topic and can prevent the suffering of children and adolescents
