Bullying is a common issue that everyone knows. But in reality, people can hardly tell whether it is really an act of bullying or if it is just a joke. So sometimes, they can’t report it to the higher people of society. Over the past years, there has been cases of bullying, especially students. It was hard to ignore that they even proposed law about anti-bullying. In order to contribute to the school’s knowledge about bullying and the students, this study was conducted to determine the School Bullying Climate in Lorma Colleges Special Science High School. Two theories were used for the framework of this study, namely the Operant Conditioning theory and the Ecological System Theory. The Operant Conditioning Theory explained the changing of behavior by the use of reinforcement which is given after the desired response while the Ecological System Theory helped us understand why we may behave differently when we compare our behavior in the presence of our family and our behavior when we are in school or at work. A descriptive research method was used for this study. A survey was conducted among 108 students of Lorma Colleges Special Science High School with the aim of knowing the perspectives of students as to school bullying in LCSSHS and the existing & possible solutions about school bullying in LCSSHS. Data were obtained from the students through the use of questionnaires. The study was conducted for the teachers, students, parents, and the school. The researchers concluded that a class with a different kind of academic training and discipline may view bullying in a different way than that of another class and when students encounter or see a bullying incident, they cannot help but just watch, although they will bear in mind that the next time they see one again, they will surely stop it. The researchers also provided a recommendation for future researchers and for the students.
