This study explores and identifies the prevalent gender stereotypes experienced by LGBTQ students at Sta. Catalina National High School; specifically examines how these stereotypes manifest in daily interactions and impact students’ school experiences. The research aims to understand the implications of gender stereotypes on LGBTQ students’ self-esteem, personal development, and peer relationships. Using a qualitative research approach, the study conducted one-on-one interviews with LGBTQ students. It utilized a structured and validated interview protocol to collect detailed insights into their experiences and the institution’s efforts to address these challenges. The analysis revealed that gender stereotypes negatively influence LGBTQ students' self-perception and hinder personal growth. Although the school’s policies to reduce discrimination and bullying were generally beneficial, their effectiveness differed across individuals. The study acknowledges its limitations, including the small sample size and the specific school context, which may not be generalizable. Future research should consider more extensive, diverse samples across different educational environments to enhance understanding and inform the development of more effective support systems and anti-discrimination initiatives.
