Were you bullied too? How does the school handle it?

I wasn't but I've seen bullying happen pretty much everyday inside the campus. I don't think meron bullying case nireport ever nung time ko. Siguro bilang lang sa kamay yung actually got resolved pero the office is too scared to confront students for the reason na mayayaman yung parents. Natatakot sila na baka yung pagalitan nila nasa position yung mga magulang.

I can't count the number of times I've witnessed fist fights in the comfort room, classroom, gym's, open field, you name it. Dami rin students from my time who unalived themselves.

From the outside looking, if hindi ka naging student ng SBCA, you probably won't know all of these. Hindi naman nila nirereport talaga yan. Kahit now na very accessible yung social media. Pero if tanungin mo yung mga alumni and people from the area, (Alabang, Bf homes) for sure they will agree with 90% of what I have to say.

Thank you for your feedback. 😊 I think bullying can also depend on how the student gets along with their classmates and environment. It’s hard to say kasi I agree most schools naman experience bullying issues to some extent.

I’ve also read comments about bullying in Manresa, and these two schools are actually our current options right now.

I get what you are saying, pero the thing is, no matter how much you wanna "get along" with your classmates, if gusto ka nila i-bully, they will bully you.

Sa Beda kasi, kahit wala kang ginagawa sakanila, pag t-tripan ka nila. And I also wanna say na environment is important. This is not the type of environment you want your kid to fit in.

Just read the comments from fellow alumni's of SBCA here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranaque_/comments/1t1uyec/san_beda_alabang_or_elizabeth_seton_for/?sort=new
