Résumé
Cet article cherche à documenter la nature, les facteurs d’influence et les réponses relatifs à l’expérience d’intimidation par rapport au poids. Quatorze jeunes âgés de 14 à 16 ans ont été rencontrés. Pour participer à l’étude, ces jeunes devaient avoir présenté de l’embonpoint au cours des cinq dernières années. Les données qualitatives recueillies ont été analysées afin de déceler des thèmes communs. Les résultats révèlent sept jeunes intimidés en raison d’un embonpoint actuel ou passé. Ils indiquent aussi une tendance à normaliser les commentaires blessants. Enfin, l’affirmation de soi, l’évitement et la recherche de soutien ressortent comme des réactions courantes.

Abstract
This article aims to document the nature, the influencing factors and the responses to weight-based bullying experiences. Fourteen participants aged 14 to 16 years old were interviewed. In order to partake in the study, these youths had to be overweight within the past five years. Following the interviews, the qualitative data gathered were analyzed in order to detect common themes. The results reveal that seven participants were bullied because of current or past overweight. They also indicate a tendency to normalize hurtful comments. Finally, assertiveness, avoidance and seeking support appeared to be common reactions to bullying experiences.
