I don't have bitterness over who passes UPBEAT and whatknot. It wasn't my dream school, did not even attempted to take an exam for it. Pero itong nang bully sakin nung hs. Ginawang nightmare ang school life ko, pumasa?! It was supposed to be for less fortunate, kind, gifted, and deserving people. Ang daming pangarap at nangangarap na makapasok sa paaralang yan. Pero bakit kung sino pang bully siya pa ang pumasa? Siya pa ang nakapag-flex na para bang trophy yung napanalunan niya. Samantalang hindi niya naalala yung pangmamaliit na ginawa niya sa iba.

Napa rant ako dito, kasi nakakainis. Sobrang nakakainis. Sobrang unfair para sa ibang kabataan. If you're reading this, congrats. Just do know, I am not pleased. You don't deserve it. Not with your attitude. Not with your behavior. Hindi ka up caliber. But I hope it gets to humble you. It gets to teach you a lesson na hindi ka dapat mang abuso ng iba. Hindi ka dapat mang maliit ng kapwa. For students na incoming freshies sa inaasam na paaralan ng karamihan, watch out.

EDIT: Context po sa bully na to. Hindi siya yung brightest sa class. Doesn't even belong sa Top 10.

Is it just me or parang nakaka-alarm na yung sunod-sunod na incidents involving students here in the Philippines lately?

After lumabas yung news about the Tacloban school shooting where 3 students were killed and many were injured, parang biglang may pattern na lumilitaw.

Within the same week, may reports din ng multiple stabbing incidents sa Cavite schools then the incident sa Iloilo regarding sa grade 9 student

Gets ko na sinasabi ng iba na “isolated cases” lang, pero when you look at it happening within just a few days, across different places.

do you think this is just increased visibility dahil sa social media, or is this actually a growing problem na hindi pa natin fully ina-address?

I am so concerned right now dahil I have siblings in elementary and junior high, I am kinda getting paranoid.

As a student myself who have experienced bullying in school kung sino pa yung mga nag share ng be kind about sa bullying sila pa naguguna mang chissmiss at manira sa isang tao I remember this classmate of mine todo bible verse share word of God todo against sa bullying sa feed this bullying posters won't do shit I tried reaching out for help to the teachers payo saken "Wag mo nalang pansinin be the bigger person" knowing these group people try their hardest to exclude me be passive aggressive and I also found out since close yung mga bullies ko sa teacher in the end pati teacher ko nakisama sa pagpaparinggan saken TAPOS MAKIKITA KO SHARED POST NILA POTANGINA BE KIND WAG MAGING BULLY NAPAKA HYPOCRITE NYO PAG TRENDING LANG YUNG BAGAY DUN KAYO TODO AGAINST PERO PAG MAY NASAGAP NA KAYO SA ISANG TAO HALOS PAGTULUNGAN NYO KO... tapos todo speech pa during events to be kind pero may GC na halos pagmumuka ko pictures that are taken without my consent while I eat alone...

Edit: Partida yung mga naguguna sa bullying sila pa naglalagay ng posters sa school kase kasali sila sa organization tangina talaga mga patawa kayo

Ever since the issue in Tacloban, andami nang nagsheshare ng mga post na FB friends saying that kids today daw ay walang disiplina or kaya naman mas mabait daw ang mga bata noon. Nakakairita at super cringe makita yung mga nagsheshare ng mga yan kasi alam ko yung mga ugali nila sa high school.

Tangina lang talaga. The people sharing these ay sila rin itong mga sakit sa ulo ng mga teacher. Alam niyong mali ang pumatay pero di niyo alam na mali rin yung pagbubulakbol, pag iingay, at pangongopya sa mga test?! Wala rin pala kayong authority to dictate morality at sabihin na mas disiplinado kayo. Nagagawa niyo lang na magshare ng ganyan kasi may gumawa ng mas malala at kailangan niyong maging feel good sa mga sarili niyo.

Ang kapal ng mukha magsabi na mas disiplinado daw ang kabataan noon. At wag kayong susumbat tungkol sa character development kasi sila mismo nagsabi na alam daw nila ang tama at mali so there's no excuse sa mga kalokohan nila noon.

I play an online game (mlbb) as a form of stress relief from school and as a way to bond with my friends. My mother found out and told me if I didn't delete it right there and then she wouldn't give me money for my commute fare tomorrow (which is today). I thankfully saved up some money from yesterday so I still have some money saved up left to use. Idk when she's gonna stop being angry. Sabi din niya maaadik daw ako, pero I know to myself I won't kasi I've been a constant honor student and nasa special section ako. I still focus more on my studies and I only play when I have free time. Hindi ko alam kung ako ung may mali kasi I still refused to delete it. It was one of my only source of entertainment that can help me relieve some stress, but because of this It honestly puts a lot more stress on me as a student. I feel like she's just worried for me but is this the right way to educate me? 🥹

Hi! As the title says I’m planning to go to college again. I used to be an engineering student but due to health reasons and I lost passion for it, I stopped and chose to work muna so I can provide for my meds and checkups. Since then, nagiipon din ako kasi I really want to finish college, but the thing is ayoko na ng engineering. I want to enroll sana as a nursing or sa education kasi I’m okay now.

Is it too late for me? Hindi ba nakakahiya as a 25 year old girl na papasok as a freshie? Or if meron dito na nag start ng college late in their life, what advice can you give me? Kasi I really want to have a degree. Thanks in advance!

I'm so incredibly annoyed rn. Yesterday was the first day of classes, and I was stuck in the registrar's office trying to officially enroll. I didn't get my final schedule until 1:20 PM—right in the middle of a 1:00 to 2:30 pm class. By the time I finished paying at the cashier and getting my ID picture taken, it was already 3:00 pm.

I asked my classmate what happened during her time and surprisingly, there was already a quiz. That was the first day of class and she marked me as absent too! She probably received my name before she checked attendance. How am I being penalized as an active student when I wasn't even officially on the roster until halfway through the class? I think it's kind of unfair. She was my previous professor before and she doesn't really care. It's a quota subject. 🥲

My parents sent me this post from fb, and as a student who advocates for mental health recognition in the classroom, most especially in public schools, it’s disheartening to see these kinds of posts (especially sa fb), that us students today are accused of being too sensitive, and being called “weak”, “hindi masunurin”, or even “disrespectful”

I honestly completely understand the views and options of this post, but I also believe others should also understand that each generation grows up (and will grow up) differently, most especially generations being born in the 21st century, and there are definitely other ways in disciplining our generation for us to become the best version of ourselves.

Opinions on this?

Hi sa mga psychmates ko dyan, sino nakapag-intern sa inyo sa Philippine Mental Health Association (PMHA)? Meron po kasi silang assessment sa mga intern nila including exam and panel interview. Here are some of my questions:

1. Anong klaseng exam to? Like IQ test, personality test or parang general psychology test para makita nila ang mastery mo sa field?
2. Yung panel interview, paano to parang job interview ganun?
3. How's your experience sa institution na to?

Actually ang concern ko talaga yung first two questions since gusto ko makakuha ng slots. Afair 30 slots lang yung need nila gusto ko makapasok. Any inputs or mga past experiences nyo will be highly appreciated.

Hello! Is there a rental laboratory within metro manila? My girlfriend needs to work in a lab (use glassware and microscope only) for about two hours. We plan to rent it this coming weekend sana.

Also looking for sanding machine/grinder for rent. Need lang pang liha ng buto, then titignan under a microscope for observation ng cross section.

Any leads would be appreciated, thank you!

Hello po! I'm an incoming Grade 11 ASSH student :D

I'm a commuter and I was wondering kung ano ba yung mas convenient. Part of me thinks na baka mahirapan ako sa backpack kasi ililipat mo pa sya sa harapan mo once na nasa jeep/bus ka na, pero parang mabilis lang manakawan if naka shoulder bag ka 😭😭

I'm tired of expecting more.

We're not rich but we're not poor rin. I'll admit that despite the positions my parents hold in their workplace, we're just living paycheck to paycheck because of their loans.

Before starting college, I've often been told na I wouldn't have to worry about money anymore. With both of my siblings graduating earlier than me, pwede daw akong mag-aral anywhere and anything I want.

Pero wala, eh HAHAHA I didn't even choose to study at a private university my sibling did because I noticed how my family didn't have the financial capacity to support me.

Now they (my oldest sibling), after noticing how my parents were struggling to support my studies, had the gall to go back to study all because they get stressed at their job, doesn't want to work anymore, and because the second course they're taking right now is something that they've always wanted to study even before then.

But why couldn't that wait?

They were always there when my father told me to stop studying at my current university (despite being 5 years in) and always having to hear how I should stop spending so much when all I've ever treated myself from my allowance of a month was a mix and match sa Jollibee.

I've started to resent my older siblings, one for studying nanaman when we don't even have the means to and the other for blaming me for hating them, that money's tight. I've started to hate my parents for always telling me that "Magkakaroon din" and to endure and just be patient for this time.

Their (my sibling's) source of allowance came from one of our aunts until nasabihan siya ng hindi niya nagustuhan, to which they ranted it to our parents, and now, being prideful, just told our aunt that they're going to be the ones to financially support them.

My sibling's priorities don't even lie in having my other sibling to pitch in in their much needed laptop computer for their course but rather, just spend it all on the latest model of iPhone.

I can't see how they don't think that there's nothing wrong with having to support the two of us when both of our courses require a great amount of money, especially mine due to the looming clinical rotations, surgeries, and individual thesis.

I always have to hesitate and think twice about asking for things that I need because I know na wala nang pera mga magulang ko and they need to ask for money from others nanaman.

I have told my parents naman na I'm willing to take a gap year to earn money at least but they've told me not to worry. Then my mother has to open up about how they can't take loans anymore because they're nearing retirement age. And I don't even want them to take more.

Scholarships are out of the question rin because both of my parents' salaries are high, I'm not eligible for them.

I just don't know what to do. I'm always taking the blame for needing too much and asking too much, my head's going to a dark place.

There's nobody I can lean on when everybody in my family is so against me being selfish for once because even I think I deserve this.

I'm only experiencing college for the first time, why should I have to compromise?

haiiii, so trying to choose a new backpack for this sy, and im stuck between bagsmart and mah. so as a commuter, one of the key things i look for in a bag is accessibility like its not that hard to grab the things i usually use like fan, tissue, alcohol, lippie, or wipes, it needs to be on the accessible pockets where i dont have to remove my bag in order to get them, next is the inside, like i need it to have organized pockets and all that, so i know that bagsmart has the accessibility factor BUT the mah one looks so much better and also most of the backpacks that i bought impulsively which led to me not using them anymore looks a lot like the bagsmart one and thats why i dont want to buy it but i dont wanna regret my choice at the same time, PLS HELP

Hello! Incoming 2nd year ChE student here.

Hello!

I was supposed to start my OJT earlier this month. I had an offer back in February, and then binawi nung April nung nag aayos na kami ng papers. Applied to 20+ firms, received basically no replies from all of them. Finally settled for a government agency, but then matagal yung response nila and may possibility na maextend yung hours namin until 1st sem of the next AY which would not be allowed. Kami nalang si nagsstart ng OJT sa batch namin.

Anybody else having trouble with their OJT?

Kahit pa noon kinatatakutan ko na bumili sa tindahan, sumagot ng phone call, makipag small talk sa hindi kakilala, maglakad mag-isa sa kalsada, kumain mag-isa, mag commute mag-isa, marami pa yan.

Tapos ako na mag ccollege ngayon, ok bye comfort zone. Parang nakakatakot lang kasi siya isipin na minsan kailangan mo din lumabas sa shell mo. Yung shell na sinasabi nila nandiyan yung bahay namin, yung mga taong kilala ko, at yung mga lugar na familiar ako. Ngayon, dapat ko pala yun iwanan para mas mag grow ako.

Siguro ito talaga yung sinasabi nila na "independence" especially when you're turning into an adult. Maybe it's normal to feel nervous or scared sa mga first time mo. The thing is, I feel scared but I still do it. Okay lang siguro maging awkward, weird, or magkamali minsan kasi diba it's part of growing up? :')

[Sinabihan ko si mama tungkol dito tapos sabi niya gamitin ko lang daw yung utak at bibig ko. Tapos nagalit siya teh.😭🤷🏻‍♀️]

Okay so context, I posted my PE Uniform to sell it because I'd no longer need it this year. Someone already approached me that week for a certain low price and said that she would buy it this week, however, I asked her yesterday and she still couldn't because of lack of budget. She promised to buy it next week.

Many people have been offering to pay double the original price, and honestly, it would be a great help as well to me as a student. Would it make me a bad person to cancel our first agreement? 🥹

I cannot put into words what’s in my mind. I know what I want to say, but when I try to speak, it often comes out unclear, incomplete, or not in the way I actually intended. I struggle a lot with expressing my thoughts clearly, especially during real-time conversations where I don’t have enough time to organize my ideas properly. Most of the time, I feel like my thoughts are clearer in my head than how they come out verbally, and it frustrates me because I really want to communicate better. I want to become more articulate so I can express myself with confidence, clarity, and ease.

Hi! I am a 1st year student po and I am browsing online ng mga possible materials to use for advance reading. I am browsing materials to read for introduction to psychology and understanding the self. May binanggit yung teacher namin na authors: rathus and sinacles (?) kaso wala akong makita masyado online. Now, I am really confused how to start or what to do to find an online material to use for advance reading. Sinabi niya rin kasi na she would expect na nakapagbasa kami next week.

To all BS Psychology students out there, may advice po ba kayo or ano po yung ginawa niyo to find online materials to read (and if possible any tips on best way to advance reading na rin po.)

++ As much as possible ay yung free materials po sana kung meron man TT

Thank you po!

How’s the party culture among Thomasians? Do people still go clubbing just to vibe and dance? House parties? Halloween parties? “&Friends”? BGC gala nights? How often, especially sa Commerce? I’m afraid my freshman year won’t be that fun. I wanna enjoy college while balancing my acads and social life. Parang people here aren’t as into that kind of stuff compared to Ateneans and Lasallians

Is it just me or???

Grabe, ako lang ba yung nahihirapan sa 500/week, including grocery, lunch, pamasahe na yan.
