BOGOR - A middle school age teenager is considered to be facing complex mental stress. The 222nd PK program from LPDP is here to provide support so that they have a healthy mentality in order to achieve brilliant achievements.

Study demands, family expectations, and negative influences of social media are the main challenges of students' mental health.

Head of Subdivision of PK and PB LPDP from the LPDP Scholarship, Pramwidya Novia, said that outstanding children can make a big contribution to the surrounding environment.

"I really believe that awardees have a heart to develop people's lives and contribute to Indonesia's progress," he said at a seminar themed Mental Youth Youth Luhur, Kukuh Spirit: Strengthening Mental Health and High Citas at Al Ashriyyah Nurul Iman High School, Bogor, Saturday 9 August.

Pramwidya emphasized the importance of mental health as a foundation for better life and achieving high goals. Through LPDP, it is hoped that prospective experts who master various fields of science will be born and can provide benefits to the nation.

He also invited seminar participants to actively ask awardee brothers who have experience and maintain friendship for useful collaboration.

Students are expected to have a shadow or an idea of what can be achieved. This seminar participant was also asked not to hesitate to ask experienced awards.

The LPDP recipients are expected to be able to spread benefits when returning to school and the community. The LPDP also encourages the mental health of my mother to be maintained, as well as the relationship between my brothers and sisters.

"Don't forget the younger siblings, in order to create a lot of collaboration and maintain good relations with each other," he said.

LPDP is ready to support new ideas from awardee brothers that have an impact on society, for example through research support and research facilities. He invited all parties to jointly contribute to raising important issues to young people, which of course are beneficial to all people.

All the pressures faced by teenagers are often not handled due to the lack of safe space to speak. So that it often has an impact on decreasing motivation to learn and interest in continuing higher education.

This seminar also raises the issue of the lack of safe space for teenagers to express the mental pressure experienced, which has an impact on decreasing learning motivation and interest in continuing higher education. According to BPS 2025 data, only about 10 percent of the population aged 15 years and over are studying from undergraduate education and above.

LPDP recipient, Khairanisa Al Azizu, who fills a Psychoeducation or mental health session, emphasized the importance of self awareness or awareness for teenagers. He explained the five main elements that must be considered: the concept of self, mind, feelings, body, and emotions.

According to him, getting to know yourself is like a compass that helps teenagers make the right decisions and know their potential and boundaries.

Khainnisa shared her experience of experiencing severe stress to feeling desperate, but she got up with a passion forfar, tahajud, and prayer. Thanks to his patience and effort, two years later he successfully passed the LPDP selection with the highest passing grade and was immediately accepted by the doctoral program on ITB.

"I was once at a stress point where the direction was negative, I even thought I wanted to stop living. I've tried hard, put my trust that high values mean everything is safe. However, it turns out that Allah is preparing another path that I didn't expect," he added.

He also introduced the R-R-A-T-E concept as a method of recognizing and developing oneself:

1. Record: Record any experience, test results, or evaluation that has ever been followed. By noting, you can see the patterns of our strength and weaknesses. 2. Reflect: Reflect on the results that have been achieved. What is good? What needs to be improved? 3. Ask: Ask for opinions or assessments of other competent people, to get objective input. 4. Try: Try new things or different approaches, even outside the comfort zone. 5. Evaluate: Reassess the process and results after trying, then determine the next corrective steps.

In practice, Khairanisa applied this method when facing a failure in the CPNS selection, until finally finding her way through LPDP. He realized the importance of pinning every step to get the best version of himself according to religious teachings.

LPDP hopes that awards will not only excel academically, but also be able to spread benefits for schools and the community and continue to maintain the mental health of teenagers so that they are ready to face the future.
