Let’s Talk About Fat-Shaming
[]
Yes For Teachers Archive - YES! Magazine
At its worst, fat-shaming can lead to dire consequences, such as depression, anxiety, and, even, suicide.
In this “Let’s Talk About” edition, we provide resources to help your students honestly reflect on their biases toward fat people as undesirables and to get them talking about fatphobia and fat-shaming as systems of oppression that we need to collectively resist.
How to Use This CollectionSuggested below are steps to a thoughtful and meaningful discussion with your students about fat-shaming and its impact on their personal lives and in society.
Use the discussion questions—or craft your own—to gauge your students’ understanding and opinions.
If this has never happened to you, describe a time when you made fun of or felt disgusted by someone’s body size.
