JAKARTA - Afgan openly said that he had experienced bullying when he was 14 years old. This was told by Afgan himself when he was one of the speakers at the Ideafest 2023 event in the 'Good Lisan, Good Writing' campaign on social media.

He told me that he had experienced violence both emotionally and physically at school. Previously, he had never told anyone, including his own parents.

"When I was 14 years old, I experienced emotional and physical violence at my school. And I have never told any of that (to my parents) at all," Afgan said in Senayan, Central Jakarta, Saturday, September 30.

It has happened decades ago, Afgan admitted that until now at the age of 34 years he was still traumatized by the incident. Not infrequently he also felt the insecurity and fear that for him would be a long wound to heal.

"Until now, I am 34 years old, I still have trauma. I still feel insecure, sometimes I still feel insecure and scared all the time. For me, the wound will heal for a long time," he continued.

At first, the singer of Not Cinta Ordinary did not know what to do with the trauma she felt. But now it explains that the condition is better by providing affirmation to yourself.

"In the past I didn't know why, what to do. Now it's better, people can be easily informed. I always give affirmations to myself Everything will be fine, good things will come after this, he explained

"Things like that that are what you have to say to yourself every day. And those are the things I share with social media because I know a lot of people may need to listen to that too," Afgan concluded.
