ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
1 30
Schools should be a safe place for everyone but in the Philippines, students who
are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) have experienced
discrimination (Human Rights Watch, 2017) and these abuses can cause deep
and lasting harm (Human Rights Watch, 2017). Schools nationwide are hostile
environments for a distressing number of LGBTQ students. The overwhelming
majority of whom routinely hear anti-LGBTQ language and experience
victimization and discrimination at school. Discrimination against LGBTQ
individuals remains widespread in our country and in different countries, this leads
the researchers to conduct research on this issue. In this study, the researchers
explored the discrimination among LGBTQ youth senior high school students at
Betis National High School. As of now, there is no study about the discrimination
of LGBTQ in the Betis National High School community.

interest among researchers (Healey, 2008). The number of students leaving their
home country to obtain higher education qualifications in other countries has
generally continued to increase over the years despite different national,
institutional, and sociocultural challenges. Among several other challenges that
international students may have to cope with is transitioning into the social and
cultural environment of the host countries (Yam, 2016). One social stigma or
challenge is in relation to sexuality, which has been coined in different studies as
homonegativity, homophobia, heterosexism, or anti-gay prejudice (Van den Akker
et al., 2013) and which could determine the experiences of international students
in a given context. Such social acceptance or nonacceptance, otherwise known
as homopositivity if the experience is positive and homonegativity if negative
(Manalastas et al., 2017), affects international students’ feelings of welcome in the
host country or institution, for instance. Overcoming transitional challenges will
enable institutions to attract and retain international students regardless of their
sexual orientation, among other things (Lee, 2010).

The respondents: When this issue emerge, this research will assist them in
becoming more aware regarding this issue towards the bullying and developing a
new solution or finding a different technique to tackle the difficulties.
The researcher: Fostering critical thinking and analytical skills through hands-on
learning. Defining academic, career and personal interests.
A series of contemporary theories that have been used to explain homophobia are
assessed. Structural, feminist, comparative, gender panic, queer, and socio-
historical theories rely on the premises of a diverse set of scholarly disciplines,
and in turn, generate their own objects of analysis, whether homophobia',
heterosexism', or heteronormativity'. While the current flourishing of gay and
lesbian studies has generated important insights into the workings of homophobia,
analyses have also tended to be limited and fragmentary. This paper suggests a
study of homophobic projects that combines theoretical tools able to recognize
experience, discourse, structure, and history (Adam B.1985a).

The researchers randomly selected a participant from the Senior High School
Students in Betis National High School. They distribute an interview sheet with 10
questionnaires for each participant to answer and each question has a question
regarding the research about The Homophobic Students of Betis National High
School, the researchers randomly selected 5 students per section whether they
are part or LGBT or not. An examiner of the group gives an interview to those

questionnaires overall the researchers gather 65 random participants for the
interview.

The study was conducted at Betis National High School, because many LGBT
students are being bullied and lose their confidence. The research's used an
interview questionnaire and we interviewed several students in Senior High School
Department about the bullying of LGBT students and we asked per section who
wants to participate in the interview. We did the interview with no one will be
uncomfortable.
The questionnaire was the tool used to get the data. This was utilized since it
acquired data faster than any other method. Besides the respondents were Senior
High School students. They could read and answer the questionnaire with ease.
The first step before going to the testing proper is to make a request letter. The
researchers made a letter for approval from the principal, as well as the class
adviser, to conduct the study at Betis National High School. The principal, as well
class adviser. In administering the questionnaire, the researchers used the time
allotted for vacant to avoid the distraction of class discussion. The student
responses were given enough time to answer the question. It takes a long time to
gather all the interview and photos, it approximately takes a week or two for the
researcher to gather all the data.
The second step is to start tallying all the data that the researchers gather
from those participants. The researchers start of by counting the overall interviews
they gather and how many participants they get per section, after that the
researchers divided those data and starts the tally to get the results from those
interviews.

were enough items to gather data on all relevant parts of the issue and to address
each of the detailed issues raised in the problem description. The questionnaire

DISCUSSION
The purpose of this qualitative, arts-based study was to explore the experiences
of inclusion in early school age among LGBTQ youth. The aim was to use the
results to provide educators and policymakers at all levels with information to help
create safe and equitable learning environments for LGBTQ youth to thrive.
Through focus groups, interviews, and collages, three self-described LGBTQ
youth reflected on their experiences at school and offered suggestions for
improvement. Over seven sessions, young people shared their experiences and
provided a context for understanding the challenges they face in school. In
addition, I kept a reflection diary at each stage of the study and planned further
steps in the process. This reflection journal served as a space to reflect on events,
ask questions about new ideas, and consider ways to improve the next steps in
the process.
Results from key informant interviews and focus group discussions highlight
issues facing LGBTQ students. These include Domestic Violence, Discrimination,
Harassment, and Bullying. LGBTQ student's responses to questions about their
sense of security in various areas of life indicate that they have few safe and
positive spaces, spaces in which they can express their identities. The results also
show that LGBTQ students also face threats to their right to health, including.
Mental health problems result from experiences of violence and discrimination and
lack of access to SOGIE-oriented health services and education. Despite these
threats, LGBTQ students demonstrate a strong sense of their rights and seek to
1 2 3

create a safe and positive space for themselves through participation in LGBTQ
organizations.
School should be a safe place for children to learn and grow into confident people.
However, many children responded that they felt anxious or anxious. Experiences
of bullying and discriminatory policies and practices by school administrators and
staff threaten school safety. LGBTQ children are exposed to many forms of
bullying, the most common of which is verbal abuse. Children will be ridiculed as
"bayot". Names such as 'Bakulaw', '150' and 'Tomboy'.
Prior research has demonstrated that school is often not a safe or affirming
environment for LGBT youth and that a hostile school climate can have negative
consequences on well-being and achievement (Kosciw et al., 2010; Murdock &
Bolch, 2005; Russell et al., 2006). Further, research has shown that school-based
support for LGBT students can improve the school climate and educational
outcomes (Goodenow, 2006; Kosciw et al., 2010; Szalacha, 2003).
The current study expanded upon this research, first by examining how in-school
victimization affects LGBT students' self-esteem and academic performance, and
second by illuminating how the varied roles that LGBT-related student supports
play via direct benefits to students' well-being and achievement and via mitigation
of the negative effects of victimization. Our findings indicate that all four types of
LGBT-related supports examined—GSAs, supportive school staff, inclusive
curricula, and comprehensive antibullying/harassment policies—make unique
positive contributions to the lives of LGBT students, yet differ in how they provide
that benefit. Lastly, our findings suggest that, in general, the effects of school-
based resources on self-esteem, GPA, and missed days of school are not highly
dependent on rates of victimization.
As our results show, perhaps the strongest positive impact on LGBT students was
the presence of supportive adults in school. The number of supportive educators
was one of the strongest predictors of a less hostile school climate and higher self-
esteem among LGBT students. Not surprisingly, the number of cooperating
educators was associated with positive educational outcomes. Specifically,
students who reported having more supportive teachers were more likely to report
higher GPAs and were less likely to be absent from school. Additionally, support
1 2 3

1 30
staff may be particularly helpful for students experiencing high levels of bullying,
as important interactions between victims and educators occur during their
absence from school.
Our findings on supportive educators may reflect the myriad influences these
individuals can have on LGBT students' school environments. Support staff can
provide the personal connections students need to stay in school and protect
themselves from serious harm. Staff also intervene when homophobic language
or anti-LGBT discrimination is occurring, support individual students, and in some
cases adopt positive and protective policies and, in some cases, school-wide
policies. By supporting these efforts, we can also make the environment safer and
more positive for these students. A practice used between staff and management.
Our study did not examine student reports of educator interventions. More
research is needed to dig deeper into how educators bring about change. Such
research also helps inform the preparation and professional development activities
of school personnel on how to create a safe and positive school environment for
students.
3.1 Summary
Conditions must change for LGBTQ students. School bullying policies are
necessary to protect LGBTQ students. LGBTQ history shows the struggles the
community has wrestled with over the decades. Bullying still occurs in schools
today and was only addressed in the 1970s and there is still much room for
improvement (Hall, 2010). In recent years, gender has played an increasingly
important role in bullying. Findings from (Street,2016) and (Bratsis,2015) show
that LGBTQ and perceived LGBTQ students are common targets for bullying.
School curricula do not currently include LGBTQ people. Small steps have been
taken to support LGBTQ youth, such as the Gay-Straight Alliances and the NOH8
campaign, but there is still much room for improvement before the LGBTQ
community feels safe.

School should be a safe place for everyone. However, in the Philippines, lesbian,
gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students find their school lives ruined by
bullying, discrimination, lack of access to LGBT-related information, and, in some
cases, physical and sexual harassment attacks. too often. These abuses can
cause deep and lasting harm and violate the student's right to education, which is
protected by Philippine and international law. In recent years, Philippine
parliamentarians and school administrators have recognized that bullying of LGBT
youth is a serious problem and have developed policies to address the problem.
In 2012, the Department of Education (DepEd), which oversees primary and
secondary schools, announced child protection policies aimed at tackling bullying
and discrimination in schools, including those based on sexual orientation and
gender identity. The following year, Congress passed the Anti-Bullying Act of
2013, which included an ordinance listing sexual orientation and gender identity
as prohibited grounds for bullying and harassment. The adoption of these
guidelines sends a strong signal that bullying and discrimination in educational
institutions cannot and should not be tolerated. However, while these policies are
powerful on paper, they are not well implemented. Lacking effective policing and
monitoring, many LGBT youth continue to face bullying and harassment in
schools. Discriminatory policies that prejudice and penalize LGBT students, as
well as the lack of information and resources on LGBT issues in schools,
exacerbate the negative treatment they receive from peers and teachers. The
abuse students face in schools is exacerbated by discriminatory policies and
practices that exclude students from full participation in the school environment.
Schools impose strict gender norms on their students in a variety of ways.
Examples include gender-specific uniforms and dress codes, hair length
restrictions, gender-specific bathrooms, gender-specific classes and activities,
and monitoring of same-sex friendships. Relationship.

Our results show that LGBTQ youth face several challenges in-school settings
related to their identity development and the attitudes and behaviour of staff and
peers. Adolescents found a web of inclusive and exclusive strategies used by
themselves and others that influenced their experiences in middle school.
Furthermore, in a world dominated by heteronormative and cisnormativity, they
had difficulty developing and accepting their gender identity and sexual
orientation. They balanced conformity with norm resistance to be included in peer
groups and not to be actively excluded. Like most teens and their peers,
adolescents were in the process of identity development, including the
development of gender and sexual identity. They found themselves in a school
environment dominated by the heteronormative and cis norms prevalent in society
regarding sex and gender identity. Deviations and resistance to prevailing norms
lead to reactions in environments where LGBTQ youth are representative of
minority groups. Aggressive and discriminatory behaviour and a lack of supportive
networks and role models can put LGBTQ youth at increased risk of vulnerability,
alienation, and isolation. In contrast, the objectification of one's own gender
identity and sexual orientation by young people supports the construction of what
it means to be LGBTQ young people. This is consistent with the desire of young
people for more efforts aimed at increasing the knowledge of LGBTQ issues in
school settings, thereby increasing people's understanding of the issue and
preventing discriminatory behaviour. can be considered. At the same time, such
efforts can increase a sense of independence, which can go against the main
purpose of introducing the subject into schools.
Creating safe and inclusive schools free of harassment and violence against
LGTBQ students requires a school-wide approach and commitment to positive
change. The long-term negative effects of uncooperative and hostile school
environments on LGTBQ students highlight the urgent need for school reform.
Systematic policy reform through a zero-tolerance policy and a curriculum that
includes LGTBQ promotes inclusion and does not accept discrimination or
harassment. An LGTBQ-infused curriculum raises awareness among all students,
and affirms and promotes inclusion in her LGTBQ community, which is often
marginalized or neglected in the general curriculum. Essential professional

3.3 Recommendation
Youth
1. Locate supportive peers and organize with them to promote diversity in your
school.
2. Educate yourself about other forms of harassment and reach out to youth who
experience them.
3. Reach out to teachers and administrators by letting them know how they can
best support you.
5. Know your rights and advocate for them in your school, and with local and
national governments. 6 If policies exist in your school and government that are
meant to ensure your rights, ask how these policies are monitored and evaluated.
Teachers
1. Educate yourself. Reach out to LGBT youth in your school and ask what you
can do to help.

issues of harassment.
Administrators
1. Educate yourself. Reach out to LGBT youth in your school and ask what you
can do to help.
2. Be sure all faculty and staff are educated on issues of sexual diversity as well
as harassment and suicide prevention.
5. Set standards of rights, respect and responsibility in your school with regards
to education about sexual and reproductive health.
6. Ensure that resources exist for youth who experience harassment in your
school.
Researchers
1. Reach out to LGBT youth and incorporate them in your research as much as
possible.

5. Initiate evaluative research to be sure that existing policies and programs are
effective.
6. Share research with civil society and policy makers and researchers in other
regions.
Civil Society
1. Reach out to policy makers, educators, LGBT youth and youth who experience
other forms of discrimination and incorporate them into your programming and
advocacy efforts.

and lessons learned to shape your own programs and advocacy efforts.
3. Organize efforts that support youth who experience harassment, but also
efforts that address systematic forms of discrimination.
4. Do not rely only on private or public funding sources. Much can be done with
very little funding, but it is also important to acquire both sources of funding.
5. Initiate research on harassment and monitor and evaluate all program and
policy interventions.
Policy Makers
1. Partner with a diverse group of youth, educators and civil society to identify and
actualize necessary policies.
