A video of a young boy, seemingly intoxicated in his school uniform, has gone viral on social media, sparking concern and debate.
In the footage, the student appears unsteady yet insists on taking his exam, despite his visibly impaired state.
The video caption, “He’s drunk and he’s about to write an exam,” has drawn widespread attention, amassing over 340,000 views and a wave of reactions.
Here’s what some viewers had to say:
- “The only difference between this generation and ours is we didn’t post these events online, but it happened.”
- “This is a result of poor parenting!”
- “We used to laugh when classmates did this, but it’s unsettling to watch now.”
- “This isn’t his parents’ fault, or the community’s—it’s the foreigners introducing alcohol to the youth.”
- “If y’all don’t see this as a cry for help, I don’t know what is.”
- “It’s discouraging to see this lack of motivation in today’s youth. We need a generation committed to building a better tomorrow, not just entitled to it.”
The incident has fueled discussions about youth responsibility, community influence, and the role of social media in highlighting—or sensationalizing—such issues.
