Hello! I’m currently in JHS and our teacher had threatened us all that she’d drag us down if she ever dies or gets fired including even our families and that she’d kill us if she got fired?? Idk wtf her issue is but for background this came from when we were locked out her class for being late for 3 minutes after finishing our filming from another class. For story purposes i’ll call this teacher Miss B. Miss B had locked us out after we were late by 3 minutes to film for the class before this, our teacher who had ordered us to film begged Miss B to understand the situation and let us in. Unfortunately, even with that Miss B refused to understand the situation and refused to let us in. Our class had decided to report her for not understanding or even bothering to hear us out and locking us out in the heat. We were late by 3 minutes since we all had to hike back to the classroom. After the class had reported her, she had started to scream at us the next day talking about how we didn’t have any emotional intelligence and that we were selfish for reporting her, calling us stupid and other derogatory names before eventually yelling about if she was to die, she’d drag all of us and our families down with her and threatened to kill all of us. I understand her frustrations but I don’t get why she had to threaten us to that extent.

So recently, we had Thesis 1 added to our COR through a petition, and right now we're still forming groups. The problem is nobody wanted to take me in as a member. I was mostly a loner throughout 1st to 4th year so I didn't make a lot of connections, and my other buddies have already graduated.

I tried reaching out to my classmates, but everyone already seems to have a group where they belong, and it's making me anxious.

Though I’ve been leader several times and did all the heavy lifting, as in creating outputs and presenting them clearly without any major problems. However, I don’t think I have enough confidence to take on Thesis 1 and 2 by myself. Doing an entire thesis alone is something I don’t feel prepared or confident enough to take on, mostly because of lack of communication skills to the panelists.

Anyone else had to take Thesis 1 completely by themselves?

No you shouldn’t walk away as soon as possible from olfu, RUN from it as fast as you can.
First of all it’s a whole nightmare, the environment, the people and everything. I’M NOT a pressure cooker to handle all of dat shi. This school is overrated, there is so many good other options than this school please.

Hello, can anyone give me tips or advice on what to do to become an effective president as someone who is not really that knowledgeable yet? I don't want to disappoint my fellow classmates and teachers, I feel like I lack qualities so gusto ko po malaman ng mga need na gawin :(

Guys, help me decide what I can give my boyfriend as a graduation gift. My budget is only ₱800, and gusto ko sana siyang bigyan ng something meaningful kahit limited lang budget ko. Graduation na namin this Saturday, and I really want to surprise him with a gift. Preferably something I can order online or through Shopee para mas mabilis dumating. Honestly, wala pa talaga akong maisip HAHAHAHA. 😭

Any gift suggestions under ₱800? Something useful, thoughtful, or memorable sana. 🥹💗

edit: referring to high school
research, not tertiary or beyond

hard bound
double space
IMRAD? never heard of that. make it multiple chapters!
double column? never heard of that either
+/- may minimum pages per chapter

notice how compact the formatting most research in published journals are pero yung research ng nasa high school napakakapal ng pahina?

heaven forbid multiple revisions ka kasi maiiyak ka sa dami ng print outs mo!

alam ko hindi naman lahat ganito pero i don’t get why some instructors insist on doing this wasteful and relatively expensive formatting instead of just copying what most actual researchers do.

Starting college in UP really made me question how I am supposed to survive this for the next few years. I have this constant fear as though everyone around me is so much smarter, and that I would never be able to catch up to their level. As if it's only a matter of time before they all find out I'm an imposter among them, then I'll be judged and despised.

I think ang pinaka tangible affirmation ko for this is that most of my classmates are DOST scholars, meanwhile I failed the exam.

Saying "at least I'm in the room" doesn't really put me at ease. I constantly feel that I could have studied more and did things better to be able to say that I really deserve the slot that was given to me. Feeling ko hindi ko talaga deserve na napasa ko yung first choice ko, parang anytime kasi mahuhili nila akong hindi pala matalino enough for it.

I've already been humbled in high school so I don't know why I feel this way. I know that I can't be the smartest in the room, so why does it still feel like I'm on the guillotine every time I think about academics. Ilang beses na ako pumalpak pero natatakot pa rin ako. Parang nababawasan yung worth ko every single time I fail. Why does it never get better, nakakailang exposure naman na ako to failure.

Hindi ko alam kung factor pa rin ba rito yung paulit-ulit kong naririnig dati na "kaya ka lang naman naging top 1 kasi wala na silang ibang mapili." It feels as if I'm proving my mom right. That I'm letting kindergarten me down, that I owe it to her to excel after everything she's been through. Nakakatawa naman kung affected pa rin ako, panahon pa ni kopong-kopong nangyari yun.

For context, currently 1st-year BSED student ako, kakasimula lang ng klase. Pero naisip ko kung i-continue ko ba ang college o magtrabaho na kaagad (teaching related, ESL ang plan ko).

Ayaw kong mag DepEd, at kung gustuhin ko man ay maari naman akong magpatuloy ng college after some time kung sakali magtrabaho na ako kaagad.

Ang problem ko is tuition, and for me useless lang din kasi na mag-aaral pa ako kung mayroon naman na akong chance magwork na agad, since yun naman ang end goal.

What's the better choice out of the two?

Hi, Iʼm currently working onto something and I want to have deeper knowledge of how journalism works in universities. To those college students who are currently campus journalists, especially sa mga PJ and feature writer:

• What are the roles of your position? For PJs, do you write your captions every time your photos are used for uploads? For feature writers, who are the subjects you often write about and how long are your deadlines?

• How are tasks assigned among journalists?

• How are roles assigned for RSPC? Is it possible na ma-assign ka to compete for another category kahit na iba ang position mo? (Ex: Campus photojournalist competing for sports writing in RSPC)

• How is it like in your office? Is everyone close?

• Doʼs and donʼts ng mga journalist? Be it in the office or journalism in general.

• What are your best or most memorable experiences as a campus journalist?

• Additional infos you want to share (Ex: Pros and cons, former co-journalists you did not like, struggles non-journalists do not know, etc.)

Feel free to share us your experiences. Thank you in advance! :)

It’s just hard to figure out things kasi ever since as a child hindi ako pinapayagang lumabas ng bahay to keep me “safe.”This only resulted for me to be clueless on how the real world actually works once the moment I get to the age I am supposed to be “independent.” Hindi sa wala naman talaga akong alam, back in highschool I broke my parents’ rules and tumatakas takas ako to atleast learn how to commute—which I only learnt nung nasa Grade 11 na ako, funny enough na iniisip nila kaya ko mag Manila with just this experience.

I am currently living alone in my apartment trying to survive my college schedule that’s genuinely just draining na 7am classes for 6 days and dalawa is hanggang gabi pa, with only 1-2hrs vacant. It’s only been 2 weeks and I am concerned for myself kasi I’m not doing worse yet since online classes pa lang naman meron, pero paano pag nag face-to-face na? I am not sure how to commute back to apartment by means of using applications like should I use Joyride? Angkas? Grab? Moveit? And ang hirap din mag-adjust kasi mami-miss mo yung mga lutong bahay na kinakain mo kada tanghali/gabi, are there any restaurants or some place I could order/buy from that would fit with my 2k weekly allowance? Also if there are advices that I could still have please feel free to comment down because I would be going over my life here alone for the next 4 years :((

I’m sharing this because I wish someone had explained grooming to me when I was 13. And before you picture the stereotypical “quiet, shy student”that wasn’t me. I’m kinda ambivert.. But I was also 13, had a huge crush on my AP teacher, and became extremely focused on him. I didn’t really make friends. He became my focus. And he knew it.

My teacher was 41 years old. He was married, had children, and was teaching at a public high school.
Instead of maintaining a professional boundary, he asked for my phone number, flirted with me, took me out alone on his motorcycle, and eventually sexually touched and kissed me. I was 13.

I didn’t understand what was happening.
I never said yes. Eventually, he told me we were already in a relationship and called himself my boyfriend, even though I never agreed to that.

The abuse continued for years. When I was 15, he pressured/forced me into sex despite me repeatedly saying I didn’t want to. He also threatened to k*ll himself whenever I tried to leave.

And here’s what I want students to understand:
I didn’t think I was being groomed.

I thought I was loved.
I thought I was special.
I thought an adult had finally noticed me.
I thought my feelings for him meant our relationship was real.

That’s exactly why grooming can be so difficult for a young person to recognize.

I’m a Psychologist living in the United States now.
I’ve gone through my own therapy and spent years learning about trauma, grooming, coercion, and abusive relationship dynamics. I understand now what I couldn’t understand at 13.

And I have something now that I didn’t have then:
A voice.

I’m using it because I know there are students reading this who may be in something similar and thinking:
“But I like him too.”
“She really understands me.”
“He treats me differently from everyone else.”
“Maybe we’re actually in love.”
“I’m mature for my age.”
“It’s our secret.”
Please stop for a second.

Someone making you feel special doesn’t automatically mean they love you. Sometimes grooming feels like love.
Sometimes it feels like attention. Sometimes it feels like being chosen. Sometimes it feels like finally having someone who understands you.

And it can happen to the loud student, the quiet student, the popular student, the “bida-bida” student, the academically focused student, or the student who desperately wants someone’s attention.

There isn’t one type of child who gets groomed.

If you’re a student and a teacher starts giving you romantic or sexual attention, don’t make yourself responsible for deciding whether it’s “real love.”

Look at the adult’s behavior.

Are they privately messaging you?
Are they asking you to keep things secret?
Are they taking you somewhere alone?
Are they flirting with you?
Are they telling you you’re “special” or “mature for your age”?
Are they becoming the person you depend on emotionally?
Are they touching you in ways that make you uncomfortable?
Are they trying to make the relationship romantic or sexual?

Those are things worth telling a trusted adult about.

And if you’re thinking:
“But I like them too.”

I understand.
I liked him too.

That doesn’t make the adult’s behavior okay.
You can have a crush on your teacher.
You can think your teacher is attractive.
You can feel special when they give you attention.
You can even believe you’re in love.

None of that makes you responsible for what an adult chooses to do.

To teachers:
If a student likes you, that isn’t an invitation.
It’s a boundary you are responsible for maintaining.

Don’t privately message them.
Don’t create secrets.
Don’t take them somewhere alone.
Don’t tell yourself they’re “mature for their age.”
Don’t convince yourself it’s okay because “they like me too.”

You are the adult.

To parents, classmates, and other students:
Please don’t only look for the child who suddenly becomes withdrawn.
Sometimes the child being groomed becomes more attached, more excited, more focused, or more defensive of the adult.
They may even look like they’re enjoying the relationship.

They may say:
“We’re just close.”
“He’s my favorite teacher.”
“She understands me.”
“You just don’t understand our relationship.”
That doesn’t automatically mean everything is okay.
And please don’t call the child “malandi.”

I know what that word feels like.

When I eventually told his wife, who was also a teacher at different public school, what had happened, she scolded me and threatened that I could go to jail.

His daughter, who was around my age, called me “malandi.”

I was treated like I had caused the situation.
But I was 13. He was 41. He was my teacher.
I was the child.

Why am I posting this now?
Because I spent years thinking I should have known better. I didn’t. I was 13.

Now I’m older. I’m a psychologist. I’ve processed what happened to me. I understand the dynamics that I couldn’t see as a child.

And I have the power to speak now.

So if you’re a student reading this, I don’t want you to leave this post thinking:
“Teachers are dangerous.”

That’s not the message.

The message is:
Learn what healthy boundaries look like.
A healthy teacher doesn’t need your secrecy.
A healthy teacher doesn’t need to turn your crush into a relationship.
A healthy teacher doesn’t sexualize you.
A healthy teacher doesn’t make you responsible for their emotions.
And a healthy teacher doesn’t make you feel like you owe them something because they gave you attention.

If something feels confusing, tell someone.

You don’t have to know whether it’s grooming.
You don’t have to know whether it’s abuse.
You don’t have to have evidence.
You don’t have to be completely certain.

You can simply say:
“Something is happening with my teacher and I don’t know if it’s okay.”

That’s enough to start a conversation.

And please remember this:
You can genuinely believe someone loves you and still be experiencing grooming.

I know because I lived it.

Please look out for each other, especially the students who are seeking attention, the students who are intensely attached to one adult, and the students who suddenly seem to have a secret world with a teacher.

They may not need someone to shame them.
They may simply need someone to say:
“Hey. You can talk to me. You’re not in trouble.”

(Hello Mar D. Dizon from Ramon Magsaysay Cubao High School)

Hi! Sorry po I don't know if this is the right sub and what fair to use but I want to know your thoughts po and also an answer to my question.

It started during my application for UPCAT. Isa sa i-fifill-up dun ay gross income and the income bracket. What they provided me para macomplete ko yun ay yung payslips nila. They said na i-times 12 ko na lang daw and round off. At first, I was skeptical kasi alam ko na maraming di maiinclude dun like 13th pay etc. When I asked about it, sinabi nila na yung lang daw meron sila and they kept going on na hindi naman kami mayaman. And I do agree na di naman talaga kami mayaman and nakakaraos lang talaga kami. I believe it naman kasi narraanasan ko—no allowances, kotse na luma at sira-sira na, leaky kisame roof, my parents are driver and cashier. So sinubmit ko na lang.

Now, nag-aapply naman po ako sa DOST Scholarship. Ina-ask ulit doon ay ang gross income and proof of income. For the proof of income, they provided me their ITR. There, nakita ko na may discrepancy yung nainput ko sa UPCAT and sa nasa ITR. Yung isa, near 200k and difference and sa other one, it was a 400k difference. I input income bracket sa UPCAT to be 500k - 1M but using the ITR, it became 1.1M. I asked where was this nung nag-aapply ako for UPCAT and sinasabi nila na di naman kailangan totoo and "may mga mas mayayaman nga na ganiyan ang ginagawa." My parents were even encouraging me na isa lang yung ilagay kong ITR pero I'm not planning on that.

I'm worrying po kung makakaaffect ba sa pagkakatoon ko ng slot kasi magkaiba yung ilalagay kong income. Baka po kasi na makita ng UP and DOST na magkaiba yung nainput ko and mareject ako sa dalawa. I want to know your thoughts po about my situation. Maybe I'm misreading the instructions or the income or what.Thank you po 🥹!

As the title says, is research that important in life? Based on my experience, most of the information in research just comes from AI; students don't even have the motivation to do research, and sometimes teachers either don't want to teach or expect the students to know what to do, or teachers have a different teaching style from other teachers. Like, how does research help us? If at the end of the day, it will be put back in the archives, dusty cabinets, experiments that are hard to fund cause tools are expensive. Sometimes we can't even complete the paper cause out of time, and we just finish ch1-ch3. And I hate that every year, different research, so from the start, and it's so tiring to do and ends at chapter 3. Idk, I just feel like the system is forcing students to do research just to waste their time, instead of those students who enjoy research. Anyways just a curious question, that's all. Thanks in advance too.

For context, I'm a student in baguio city, I live in a boarding house my parents pay for it including my electricity, water, and internet bill.

Curious lang ako if kasya ba ang 500 for weekly baon? What I'm planning kasi is mag-grocery na lang ako ng food na enough for the week. Pero ang cons lang niya is that magiging one meal a day ito.
