    Contexto e Objetivo: O bullying escolar, caracterizado por comportamento agressivo recorrente e intencional, afeta desproporcionalmente crianças e adolescentes LGBT, ou presumidos como tal. Este estudo de caso explora a experiência de bullying escolar contra um jovem LGBT português, com o objetivo de entender as implicações psicossociais desta forma específica de bullying, tendo em consideração as perspectivas intrassubjetivas das vítimas. Métodos: Foi realizada uma entrevista em profundidade com um jovem adulto que sofreu bullying LGBTfóbico durante a adolescência. A análise do corpus foi baseada na abordagem teórico-metodológica designada Produção de Sentidos em Práticas Discursivas. Resultados: A análise revelou uma complexa rede de sentidos pessoais e psicossociais, incluindo as interpretações de desumanização, inadequação, prevaricação e solidão, refletindo a interação de fatores individuais, sociais, culturais, históricos e institucionais. Conclusões: Este estudo ilustra a profundidade do impacto do bullying escolar LGBTfóbico em suas vítimas, destacando a importância de políticas educacionais que promovam um ambiente escolar seguro e inclusivo. Sugere-se a necessidade de mais pesquisas para explorar padrões comuns em experiências de bullying, e ressalta-se a relevância de considerar as experiências individuais no desenvolvimento de estratégias de enfrentamento ao bullying escolar.

    Background and Objective : School bullying, characterized by recurrent and intentional aggressive behavior, disproportionately affects LGBT children and adolescents, or perceived as such. This case study explores the school bullying experience of a Portuguese LGBT youth, aiming to understand the psychosocial implications of this specific form of bullying, taking into consideration the intrasubjective perspectives of victims. Methods: An in-depth interview was conducted with a young adult who suffered LGBT-phobic bullying during adolescence. The corpus analysis was based on the theoretical-methodological approach of meaning production in discursive practices. Results: The analysis revealed a complex network of personal and psychosocial meanings, including dehumanization, inadequacy, malfeasance, and loneliness, reflecting the interaction of individual, social, cultural, historical, and institutional factors. Conclusions: This study illustrates the depth of the impact of LGBT-phobic school bullying on victims, highlighting the importance of educational policies that promote a safe and inclusive school environment. Further research is suggested to explore common patterns in bullying experiences, and the relevance of considering individual experiences in developing strategies to combat school bullying is emphasized.
