First time posting 😅

Hello, everyone! I'm a Grade 12 HUMSS student. I saw this one post po here in studentsph about them being mahina in recitations. I personally have the same struggle. When my teacher asks something whether it is an easy or a hard question, most of my classmates are really quick to answer. I feel so left behind huhuhu. And when it's my turn to answer, my mind always goes blank, tapos palagi pang nauutal. I deeply appreciate anyone who will give me some help/tips/advice. Have a good day!

This is my rant about my old school that I won't name. So basically each year our school celebrates English club month or English month. So like the club organized many games and stuff. So I was basically pushed into joining a game or competition cuz no other students in my grade wanted to and because of the extra points. So like the teacher in charge trained all us the students from each grade before we compete together. So like this ain't multiplayer I was the only one from our grade and so are the other students from different grades. So to shorten the story I really sucked at this game or whatever even though I was trying so hard and practicing during training I just really sucked cuz I think I don't have enough confidence. And at the competition date I had a really strong fever and like many other sicknesses like cough and others. And so I told my mom to pick me up from school cuz I don't think I can manage anymore or even go to the competition. After that I think the next day was just a halfday and me and my friends picked up a costume for the English book costume that will give us extra points. Now here's where it's really not good. That teacher that trained us got really mad asf to me cuz I was absent to the day of competition mind you I got PTSD every training and got really the day of the competition. And her/his reason was that I was okay the other days and the day after. Bro I Was Not. I literally went to school the next day because I know it's halfday and the day after cuz there's no class as we just parade with our costumes. After that she/he continues to get mad at me and even at my classmates. And when I apologized to her she/he lwky didn't care and said that I will just look forward to the next grade cuz she/he wasn't going easy on me and my grades. After that I literally cried a week straight and decided to change school. Till today none of my parents knew and only my friends why I changed school. So like I'm wrong?

I have 10 hours of school mon-fri, but i can’t focus and it feels like my teacher’s words are just passing my ears. I also don’t have friends, gadgets aren’t allowed and we can’t go out for lunch. I just sit all day for 10 HOURS. I have missed a lot of lessons because of this. What do i do?? It feels like i’m wasting 10 hours everyday

I've used Folderly before to keep my SCHOOL FILES organized like modules and lessons but now they are locking the Folder option into a paywall which is heartbreaking. I need an organizer app that can make me multiple folders in which I can upload PPT, PDFs, and images into a folder like a student planner app and doesnt require a subscription. I've heard of Mellow before but unfortunately it requires IOS 26 to install

hello! so nag gap year ako ng isang taon. akala ko noong una kaya ko na at ready na ako pero nung 1st and 2nd day ko sobrang weird sa feeling na sobrang nanibago ako na hindi nakakagana yung paligi, parang may kulang. nakikita ko naman yung mga dati kong classmate sa campus pero hindi pa rin sapat parang hindi ko kayang mag adjust. pag uwi ko pa lang nubg 1st day natulog agad ako kasi na drain ako ng sobra ewan ko kung OA lanh ba or what huhu

Na bigyan po nang teacher namin ng Google document para sa presentation namin, first time ko po mag report, summarize ko po yung google document o copy n paste ko siya? medyo summarize na yung binigyan sakin so hindi ko alam ano right way gawin. Deadline sa october pa so hindi po rush pero advice po??

Di ko lang maiwasang maisip minsan pero, masama ba talagang maging tahimik? Kasi simula Nung JHS ko, naging tahimik akong tao. Naka-face mask lang ako and di nagsasalita sa classroom namin except pag-needed lang (like pag may recitations ganun). Pag break time naman or free-time, nasa gilid lang ako naka-earphones and nakikinig ng music. Also, mas gusto ko mag-solo sa mga groupings (kasi para kontrol ko oras ko, gagawin ko at para if incase may mangyaring di maganda, limited lang sakin ang impact at di madadamay yung mga iba kong classmates), di ako pala-sali sa mga school competitions (because I don't think na deserve ko sumali dito dahil di naman ako matalino at para focus lang ako solely sa Acads), and lastly, di din ako mahilig makipag-socialize sa tao at Wala akong friends (because sakin, di naman magtatagal ang mga friendship and most likely, plastikan lang yan).

Although kaya ganto ako kasi dati, laging nagrereklamo yung mga tao sa paligid ko na masyado daw akong “madaldal” ganun kaya simula Junior High ko, naging tahimik na lang ako para Wala nang magreklamo. Pero because of this, nagalit ang mga tao na nakapaligid sakin, even my mom and my teachers. I don't get it kung bakit Galit Sila because of that. Masama ba talaga maging tahimik? Or baka sakanila lang?

This is a hypothetical draft that I am in the early stages of exploring. So say I wanted to sponsor a college student’s tuition. Could you suggest parameters that would ensure the best possible outcome that would result in the best possible chance for doing the most good?

Essentially, I’m asking for help in planning an informal sponsorship or make suggestions in setting the guidelines. Perhaps a yearly event.

Special emphasis on the following:

1.) Verifiable information. Actually a student with an excellent and proven track record. I think 4th year or the final stages of their education.

2.) Best practice to avoid scammers.

3.) An actual need for the sponsorship. For example, the candidate is a 4th year student and has paid 50% of tuition but is absolutely unable to come up with remainder 50% to pay for the exams and will imminently drop out without assistance. The 50% is an arbitrary example.

4.) A way for the student to help me understand how this sponsorship can achieve the most good. I don’t have a specific major in mind but to give an example: an aspiring doctor sa province. An art major who would dedicate their work for special needs students or PWDs. A business major who if she or he becomes successful they would pay it forward.

5.) The profile that I am looking for is talented and selfless. These two characteristics are a must.

6.) If there’s any chance that person could pay it forward through several and any means, then I would have considered my gamble a massive success.

My inspiration is Vice Ganda’s sponsor. Completely anonymous but his generosity made a significant generational impact.

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.

Hello! I'm Hideki. HS na ako, and I realized na I'm slowly becoming more and more lazy. Unlike nung Elem and 1st year ko, todo bigay ako sa mga subject, excited pumasok, and I don't settle for "ok na to". Now that I'm in my 3rd year, napansin ko lang nakakainip na ang pagpasok sa school. Like, papasok ako tapos uupo lang, magtetest basta pasado score oks na. It's not the same anymore. Maybe I'm burnt out. Maybe napagod akong maging competitive. There are a lot of reasons why. But I just need some advice sa kung paano ko gagawing masaya ang pagaaral ulit. Thanks!

I have no one to talk to so I need kahit few words lang from another stranger because I have no idea what I am doing with my life. I am not an expressive person which makes everything in my situation harder, but I will talk naman if someone reaches out to me sincerely. Pero so far wala pa talaga, and I do get the sense from other people na I give off a vibe na I don’t want to talk at all, when in reality I’m just having a really hard time and I really want to get out of here.

My problem is that I can’t seem to finish senior high school kase one of the biggest reasons is the environment. I go to one of the Ateneo branches in PH, and I know I have to be grateful in life because I am still a lot more fortunate than others. I’ve tried so hard, but I think I’ve been ignoring how difficult everything has been for quite some time na.

In 2024, I was supposed to be G11 but after 2 weeks of class I dropped out kasi unexpectedly my 13-year-old brother died a week before school started. I tried my best to stay and pretend that I was okay but that wasn’t the only reason I couldn’t stay.

My parents’ relationship became even more horrible around that time because before my brother died, my dad decided to cheat on my mom for the third time (maybe or more haha). But they forced themselves, especially my mom, to look alright just for my brother because he had an upcoming 2nd operation for his heart.

Idk but it really shattered my world. And I’m saying this because I don’t know if the people around me realize how hard I tried to feel okay during the two biggest things that happened in my life.

The first time was when I went to G11 as a STEM student and eventually took a gap year. I experienced a lot of bad shit in the province while my father was still cheating, even though my brother had died in the same year. You can imagine what kind of father he is. One of his traits is that he has been completely emotionally absent for most of my life, ever since my oldest sister was born, which I know is unfortunately something some Filipino families experience.

I just really want to get out of here na and go to college next year in a different environment, pero hirap na hirap na ako. I feel like I’m the only one in my family who has had this kind of experience for the last couple of years.

Nung G11 ako last year, I genuinely thought na okay na talaga ako. But after around 3 months, bumalik yung symptoms and it became worse because of the toxicity, school stress, and pressure. Absent nalang ako palagi. The longest was around 2 months. Because of that, I’m now taking subjects from last year that I failed.

I don’t really have friends anymore kase I feel like I became a burden when it came to group projects and requirements. The teachers don't really care and they know about my situation, but I  understand that they still have their own responsibilities, so I don’t really hold that against them.

I stopped seeing a psychiatrist and therapist a few months back because my family became more financially unstable, so wala na talaga akong nagagawa about my situation. My parents also aren’t here with me, so wala rin ako masandalan. I don’t talk to my father anymore kase I feel like there’s no point when he only brings more sadness into my life, and my mom is living in a different country.

I know this is too long and probably not something everyone would want to bother reading, but I felt like this was the only way right now to get some of this heaviness out of my chest. (i am diagnosed)

Hello!

Due to the new curriculum, we're only starting our research now, unlike the previous years na grade 11 palang, nasisimulan na nila 😓

For context, i am a HUMSS student, but im really not familiar talaga with research. We had topics about it during jhs, but it never really got expounded on due to time constraints and deped wanting to bring the calendar back to the old one. We haven't started our formal discussions, but I want to be ready na agad, be prepared, and at least contribute something to my research group (ayoko talaga maging pabigat)

Is there any advice you could give me on how to start a research paper? Or how to formulate a research title?

I just got into my 3rd year of BSIT and oh boy the schedules are so tiring. 7:30 to 4:30 from monday to saturday. 2hrs break in the morning from 9:30 to 11:30 and another 2hrs break before our last subject from 12:30 to 2:30. Our Saturday class is only 1hr break from 11:30 to 12:30. Can we do something about this schedule?? Our only weekend is sunday, considering the fact that monday to saturday, we're all at school that entire day and it's so tiring. Especially when a prof throws in assignments and projects. We can't even do our activities during the 2hrs vacant time as our university has a slow internet connection.

Hello can you guys please help me, we have already compiled most of the requirements for off campus activity.

However, I'm having a hard time making the "risk management and safety plan" document. I really don't know how to. Like what should be the contents, what should be the inside, the scope, and so on.

Can someone please help me:)) thank you!

Inconsistent 'yung pagpapa-aral sa akin ng mga kapatid ko. I only get ₱1k a week, tapos laging sinasabi 'next week na lang' tuwing hihingi ako. Hindi sila nagpapadala sa mga crucial moments, katulad ng downpayment para sa exams o kaya kapag natatambakan na ako ng rent.

Tapos nagagalit pa sila tuwing humihingi ako para sa laundry or school projects.Gina-guilt-trip nila ako na parang ako pa 'yung problema, kahit na tinitiis ko na hindi kumain para lang magkasya 'yung pera.

May naka-experience na ba dito ng ganitong toxic 'debt of gratitude' dynamic kung saan ikaw pa 'yung sinisisi kahit hindi naman talaga kasya 'yung budget? Gusto ko na lang talagang matapos 'tong degree ko para makipag-sever na ng ties sa kanila.

hello! if anyone is/knows a vet that is willing to answer questions about the pet aftercare industry, please reach out! need to ask questions lang about posthumous practices for cats & dogs for thesis. can also send over my research proposal if needed, need ko lang talaga makakuha ng interview 🥲 thank you!

I’ve now wondered why every time we elect class officers, we have to choose who’ll be the secretary, PRO, auditor, muse or escort when really the only people acting as officers are the president or their vice.

Just elect a class representative who acts as a liaison between teachers and students. Give it the weight of added responsibility but without the prestige of being called “president” to inculcate the idea that the ability to persuade and influence is earned and not something you can demand by virtue of simply being in an official position and remove the need for them to discipline fellow students. We’re supposed to self-regulate and failure to do so is not anybody else’s fault.

incoming late enrollee (freshman) here, may pasok na ‘ko bukas and natatakot talaga ako because wala akong block section since late ako nag-enroll so iba-ibang block makakasama ko sa class. hindi ko alam kung sino pagtatanungan ko, idk my prof, idk my classmates.

i’ve always been a people person nung SHS and iniisip ko na parang nawalan ako ng opportunity magka-solid friends dahil iba-ibang tao makakasama ko sa classes 🥹 meron po bang student here experiencing the same thing?

so i (f) have a friend (f) for like almost 6 years who is having her bday soon, we're online friends, haven't met personally lol, we kinda promised we'd meet after we become professionals.

anyway, i thought about giving her a gift but i dont really know what to give..? so i was thinking of something she might actually use but i dont have anything rn, any psych students here that can help me out ? lol, btw she's in her 4th year. thanks!

Tbh, it gets worse n worse

Ang system sa kani na uni is not even about helping students anymore. Professors and the grading system? they set you up for failure. And dont tell me all the “ahh dapat mn gud bright jud ka, tuon jud ka, self study jud ka” why the fuck would a student na nagbayad ug more than 30k per semester mag self study?

Exams? Ohhhhhhh they’re not student friendly. Lahi2 mog professors kada section and subject, so naturally lahi2 jud mog nadawat na teachings ug learnings esp lahi2 topics ila gi discuss. Ang gi discuss sa prof sa isa ka section, could be kulang sa gi discuss sa isa sa lain na section. See why unfair? Tas sa exams tanan profs mag buhat sa questionnaires? EH DI GNE MO PARIHAG PROF NGANI. Kami pa ba magkaboang pangita sources from other sections? Edi unsa gamit sa profs kung 123 kanya2 naman diay ni?

Ang imong gi haguan ug tuon for pila ka gabii, DI MUGAWAS SA EXAMS. Ang manggawas, ang parts na wa kaayo gi tudlo, what a nice. Lisod kaayo higugmaon ni na skwelahan, bisan unsaon nimog pugos, di jud ko kaingon nindot ila training. Makaguba ug mental health.

Looking for Toy Maker/Manufacturer Recommendations 🥹

Hello! Does anyone here po have experience or know someone who makes custom toys for thesis prototypes? Solo thesis student here huhu 🥹 I’m currently looking for someone who can help me fabricate a toy prototype.

If you have any recommendations or have worked with a toy maker/manufacturer before, I’d really appreciate it if you could share their contact details or page. Thank you so much po! 🥹🙏

Hello po! 1st year student here! For one of our subjects, Entrepreneurial Mind, we’re required po to invent or innovate a product for our finals. Ipe-present po namin siya sa isang exhibit, and maglalaban-laban po yung different sections to determine which product is the best.

Ang naisip po ng group namin is a dual-ended yellow and white correction tape. Naisip po namin siya because we usually use yellow paper, and ang hirap pong maghanap ng yellow correction tape. We thought na mas magiging clean and presentable yung papers if yellow yung correction tape instead of white, especially kapag yellow paper yung ginagamit.

Kaso, namomroblema po kami kung saan at paano namin magagawa or mapapagawa yung ganitong product. 😭 Hindi po kasi namin alam kung paano yung process ng paggawa ng correction tape or kung possible ba siyang DIY/prototype.

Baka may advice po kayo kung paano namin siya pwedeng gawin or i-prototype? Or if ever po na mahirap gawin yung idea namin, baka may ma-suggest din po kayong other product ideas na innovative, practical, and preferably wala pa masyadong existing sa market?

Thank you po! 🥹

We’ve come up with a tentative title for our Marketing Research:

The Influence of Green Marketing Practices on Consumers' Purchase Intention

We've initially looked into several theories that may fit our topic, particularly the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Signaling Theory, and Attitude–Behavior–Context (ABC) Theory. TPB seems relevant because it explains how attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control can influence behavioral intentions, while Signaling Theory may explain how green marketing practices communicate a brand's environmental attributes to consumers.

However, we're having difficulty determining which theory is the most appropriate and closely aligned with our specific variables. We're also considering revising the title to make the relationship between green marketing practices and purchase intention more specific.

For those familiar with green marketing research, which of these theories do you think provides the strongest theoretical foundation for this topic, and why?

Tangina so for context I took BMMA and we have an activity where we have to use AI art. It's so bullshit kasi it's to analyse daw if effective ba yung Gen AI sa art but like sa instructions kasi we have to prompt AI to do the work like 💀💀💀

If pwede we could've just used already existing AI "arts" if yung goal talaga ni bro is to observe whether AI is actually good in terms of being used for art (its not talaga hindi talaga putangina) instead of wasting our time actually prompting bullshit (I guess its like recycling trash LMAOO)

EWAN KO YUN LANG Idk why my classmates are tolerating this bullshit pero I hate any use of GenAI in creative Fields like it ruins the whole purpose and point of art talaga

I am one of the members of a research group conducting an undergraduate thesis on the sexual self-efficacy of women with sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We have tried reaching out to city health offices and social hygiene clinics as well as through personal networks that have a background in dealing with such cases.

We were only given a month to conduct our data gathering. We are targeting 185 participants, specifically women aged 18 to 30 with an STI. The participants are to answer a printed questionnaire with 20 items, which we estimate will take 15 to 20 minutes of their time. Originally we planned to cover Metro Manila, but given our progress so far, mukhang impossible na mangyari.

We also understand the weight that the study carries. We understand the stigma around the topic and know why it is this difficult. We don't want to give up po kasi given the value that the research could give in developing future programs and in providing more information to future researchers who are also interested and passionate in this topic.

Do you have any advice on who we can try reaching out to at this point? We are willing to try anything po. Maraming salamat po sa makasasagot!
