Abstract
In today's culture obesity is becoming an epidemic for individuals of all ages. Research shows that obese adolescents have higher risks of being the victims and perpetrators of bullying in a school setting. School counselors should focus on this specialized population as a way to create prevention and intervention strategies. This paper reviews current literature demonstrating obese adolescents as a marginalized population, and how school counselors can utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy in working with obese adolescents.
