There’re multitude of reasons why some people would choose to be homeschooled and one of those reasons being bullies. We’ve heard many terrifying bullying cases in schools. There’s already too many viral videos out there and we don’t doubt that there will be more.
This poor ex-student was a victim of bullying himself to a point he only attended secondary school for just a month before he decided to continue the rest of his studies at home. Despite being homeschooled for the majority of his study years, he managed to achieve incredible results for his SPM. Here’s his story:
@weynajwan Allah tidak membebani seseorang melainkan sesuai dengan kemampuannya. Ujian itu menguatkan. Tahniah dan semoga terus kuat untuk menggapai bintang dalam kehidupan. #motivation #quotes #quoteskehidupan #zxycba #fyp #fypシ #foryoupage
Najwan posted a video on TikTok sharing his cousin Afiq’s story. Nik Mohd Syazani Afiq was a top student during his primary school years but all that changed when he enrolled in secondary school and got severely bullied. It got to a point where he was too afraid to step foot in the school. The experience left him traumatised that he spiraled into depression and developed a severe anxiety disorder.
According to Najwan, the former student hasn’t left the house nor socialised with anyone since the incident. “It got worse over time. Whenever people come to visit, he’d quickly go and lock himself in his room and he also suffers from panic attacks,” he told mStar. Thankfully, his family has always been there for him in times of need.
In the video, we can see that Afiq has gotten better over the years and that 2021 was the year he decided to make the first step in getting back on his feet. His family were surprised when he himself requested to sit for his SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) examinations. Being homeschooled, the once bullied boy relied mostly on educational streaming services and channels like DidikTV and YouTube to help him study.
What motivated Afiq to sit for his SPM exams was to prove the bullies wrong and that he can still succeed. He also wanted to give back to his parents for being there for him during the lowest point of his life. At the end of the TikTok video, it was shown that the former student managed to get 6As and 1B for his SPM.
After the story went viral, netizens congratulated Afiq for his achievements and that they will continue to pray for his ongoing recovery and future (as seen above). His cousin Najwan posted a follow-up video explaining more of his journey to recovery and that he’s currently working in a carwash service to save up for University.
@weynajwan Part 2. Sambungan kenapa dia tak bersekolah dan episod kebangkitannya. Terlalu banyak yang nak diceritakan. Perjalanannya masih panjang. Semoga kecekalan dan ketabahan menjadi pendinding terkuat menghadapi ujian mendatang. #motivation #quotes #quoteskehidupan #fyp #fypシ #foryoupage #saynotobully
We’re not going to lie, his story definitely brought us to tears. May he continue to do well in life and may he get to study at the university of his choice one day.
