title: [Obesity and group relations of teenagers].
abstract: Obesity represents one of the most important issues for modern society and for children and teenagers in particular. Obesity, beyond its many clinical implications, is responsible for serious disturbances in the process of socialization at teenagers.
  
  
  METHODS
  In this study we have analyzed a group of 342 teenagers from a high school (56% girls and 44% boys) which were questioned about: the types of aggression, relation between obesity and their relations with opposite sex and their scholar proficiency.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After analyzing the results we've found that teens are victims of the entourage, they have less opportunity to be involved in relations with the opposite sex, and they are experiencing serious psychological problems related to their obesity. Obesity during teenager period may lead to a total negativism reflected in scholar abandonment, difficulties in finding a partner and social rejection.
