Weight-related school bullying and victimization have become important public health issues among adolescents around the world. This study aims to examine gender differences in the effects of Body Mass Index (BMI) on school bullying and victimization among secondary school students. This study conducted a survey among 2849 adolescents-1393 girls (48.9%) and 1456 boys (51.1%). The students were between 12 and 18 years of age and were recruited from ten secondary schools in 2019 in Suqian City in China. The study showed that overweight boys were more likely to bully others and be bullied by peers compared to normal weight boys. In contrast, overweight girls reported less bullying than normal-weight girls. No significant relationship was found between overweight and victimization among female students. The implications for comprehensive sexuality education practices are also discussed.
与体重相关的校园欺凌和受欺负现象已成为全球青少年重要的公共卫生问题。本研究旨在探讨体重指数（BMI）对中学生校园欺凌和受欺负影响的性别差异。本研究对2849名青少年进行了调查，其中1393名女生（48.9%），1456名男生（51.1%）。这些学生年龄在12至18岁之间，于2019年从中国宿迁市的十所中学招募。研究表明，与体重正常的男孩相比，超重男孩更有可能欺负他人并受到同伴欺负。相比之下，超重女孩报告的欺凌行为比体重正常的女孩少。在女学生中，超重与受欺负之间未发现显著关系。本文还讨论了对全面性教育实践的启示。
