     Being a  Runner Up of Airlangga International English Speech Competition  MasyaAllah ta Barakallah.. wal hamdulillah atas izin Allah Subhanallahu wataala bisa terus belajar dan berbagi. Kali ini berbaginya lewat speech contest gitu ceritanya. Acaranya diadakan oleh Universitas Airlangga waktu itu kerjasama dengan DIKTI kalau ndak salah. hehe. Bisa search acaranya lebih lanjut di search engine yak.

        Tapi di kesempatan ini aku mau berbagi sebuah behind the scene, salah satu faktor yang memungkinkan kenapa pencapaian ini terjadi yakni adalah konten speech yang ku deliver waktu itu. Selain dari penyampaian nya, keyakinan saat menyampaikan, manajemen waktu, interaksi dengan audience dan juri, semua itu tak akan terjadi tanpa konten yang sudah benar benar ready. Nah, konten ini gak mau aku aja yang mengerti, tetapi lebih luas lagi yakni semua pemuda di bumi pertiwi ataupun muka bumi. Check this out !

PREVENT THE MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM OF YOUTH WITH TRIPPLE “U”

Tobe healthy as a whole, mental wellness plays a role.

Why people wants to be healthy ? How is mental health can affect health of someone ? And, how we perceive the mental health especially for the youth ?

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. That is a definition by WHO. So, it is clear why mental has important parts together with the other aspect. Today, I would like to explain what I call Tripple “U” which I believe can be a solution the problem we face today about mental health of youth.

Why is it important to talk about youth ? What do I mean about youth ?

According to UNESCO “Youth” is a period of transition from the dependence of childhood to adulthood’s independence Therefore “youth” is often indicated as a person between the age where he/she may leave compulsory education, and the age at which he/she finds his/her first employment. Statistically worlwide is about about 15 to 24 years old.

Before we go further,  we need to understand about the definiton of good mental health. Good mental health is a sense of wellbeing, confidence and self-esteem. It enables us to fully enjoy and appreciate other people, day-to-day life and our environment. He or she can form positive relationships, use our abilities to reach our potential, deal with life’s challenges . Other wise, mental health problem can occur due to stress, hormones, alcohol, drugs or low self esteem. Here, we will focusing on low self esteem. Because, low self esteem will make youth who is the future generation of mankind will easily giving up due to the challenges and feel hopeless. When we take a look about those range of age, that is ironic when The data from Mental Health Commission Government of Western Australia,

·         Suicide accounts for 17.8 per cent of deaths in the 15-19 year age group and nearly a quarter of all deaths in the 20-24 year age group. Good mental health is fundamental to quality of life and physical health. For young people who are still developing socially, emotionally and physically, the development of a mental health problem or disorder can disrupt and seriously their social development, education, family relationships and vocational path.

·         Low self esteem could happen because of unclear purpose of life. Youth has their transitions time in life. There are alot to be learn, there are a lot was offered by surrounding. When he or she as youth do not have clear vision of life, so they will get easily trapped and confuse with many small unclear things. I can say have no priority.

In health, we recognize five level of prevention. When we call prevention before it happens,  we call it as healh promotion. Tripple “U” comes as a solution toward mental health of youth. Tripple “U” is Understand where you come from, Understand what is this life for, and Understand where will we go after all. Understanding those main three parts of big questions in life will put away youth from any low self esteem or even other treads from surrounding. Hold on tight to what the Mighty who have given us this chance of life, Tripple “U” will show you the right paths. Youth has to understand that they are human who was Created and this life is given and used for doing good as the responsible attach and after all human will back to the Creature.

This Tripple “U” will be the basic and effective way because it will attached to each of youth thoughts, feeling, and deeds to prevent mental health problem anytime and anywhere.
