Specifically, it seeks to understand how students perceive, interpret, and cope with verbal abuse, as well as to profile the demographic characteristics of participants involved in the research. The study is guided by three central research questions: the demographic profile of respondents, their perceptions and interpretations of verbal abuse, and the coping mechanisms they employ when confronted with such abuse. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with 20 students, focusing on their personal experiences, interpretations, and responses to verbal abuse in the school setting. Through thematic analysis, the findings revealed a predominant perception of verbal abuse among students as a form of bullying characterized by derogatory language designed to control, belittle, or intimidate. The majority of respondents identified verbal abuse as pervasive in their academic environment, with notable variations in how its severity is perceived. Some students trivialized it, interpreting it as humor or a manifestation of affectionate behavior, while others recognized its harmful effects on mental health and emotional well-being. The qualitative insights into coping mechanisms highlighted that students often distanced themselves from abusers, sought support from friends and family, or engaged in open communication regarding their experiences. However, opinions regarding the effectiveness of institutional support systems differed; some respondents acknowledged adequate assistance from faculty and guidance counselors, while others felt that schools lacked comprehensive strategies to address and prevent verbal abuse. The study underscores the significance of verbal abuse as a prevalent issue affecting students' mental and emotional health. The findings indicate that while coping mechanisms exist, the effectiveness of school policies and support systems in addressing verbal abuse remains inconsistent. As verbal abuse can lead to significant psychological repercussions, it is imperative for educational institutions to implement stronger protective measures and awareness campaigns to foster a supportive academic environment. Based on these findings, several recommendations have been proposed. The University of Rizal System should conduct regular seminars and activities to educate students and faculty on recognizing and addressing verbal abuse. Additionally, teachers should receive training to effectively address incidents of verbal abuse, ensuring they have the tools to support both victims and those who perpetrate such behavior. Furthermore, student organizations should promote awareness and empower their peers to actively participate in discussions related to verbal abuse, thereby fostering a culture of support and understanding. The involvement of local government and protective agencies is also crucial in intensifying actions within school environments to address cases of verbal abuse, particularly those stemming from authoritative figures. Ultimately, this study contributes valuable insights into the nature and implications of verbal abuse in educational settings, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts between students, educators, and policymakers to create a safer, more inclusive atmosphere for all students.
