A new study suggests that kids who are bullied about their weight might end up gaining even more weight as a result.

The study found that kids who were teased about their weight tended to gain about 91% more weight than kids who weren’t teased – even kids who weren’t overweight to begin with.

Researchers say teasing can also lead to eating disorders or other negative effects.
