Self-reporting questionnaires were distributed to the subjects to collect data, which were then analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 program.

There was a meaningful correlation between obesity stress, self-esteem, and adjustment to school life. Conclusion: The study results are expected to be useful in serving as a basic material for the development of programs that can improve students' adjustment to school life and self-esteem while reducing their stress caused by obesity.
