Your Experience With Nuns?

Some of my cousins went to Catholic school and heard nothing but horror stories of the nuns whipping the kids and severe discipline for the smallest things. But they are even harsher on mentally challenged kids, those kids get the worst beatings in many cases. Had any experience with nuns?

Nope. I am a protestant. My mother had me baptised as a baby in the Roman Catholic church, but she left the church so early on I have zero memories of attending their services. We were Pentecostal for awhile, then non-denominational, then Baptist.
Only experience I have with nuns is walking past them & seeing them on t.v.
Sister Act & whatnot. Mother Theresa.

All of my family on my mom's side are Catholics besides her older sister & my mother. Two of my cousins found out they have Sephardic jewish ancestry & converted to Judaism.
