The current descriptive exploratory nature study aimed at understanding the representations of the body in teenagers of both sexes from the ninth school year grade in Portugal. Interviews were recorded, thus using the content analysis technique. The NVivo informatics program was used to deal with the data. The results, show that the Cartesian inheritance conceives the body as an extension of the mind. The female representation highlights aesthetics, while the body is a tool and health as value is represented by the male gender as a means of being in the world. The movement by the movement arises within the leisure and again the living appears as a value. The social communication influences each one's critical sense. The nervous anorexia is represented by social-cultural matters and the students do not recognize the student who was diagnosed with the pathology within the school context.
