Internet users react to teen dad attending same school as daughter in Grade R

A grade 12 learner attends the same school as his daughter who is in grade R and is seen playing with her at lunch break. As crazy as this might sound, it is true and this young man and his daughter stirred up the internet with his sight.

Envision yourself as a teenager walking the corridors of your high school while attending with your daughter at the same school. Who knew that this could actually happen?

The internet reacted to the video applauding him for being a “present father”, while others questioned the unusual sight of a teen dad and daughter duo. Perhaps, it is because normally teenage moms are seen with their bundles of joy and not the dads.

Some even dismiss the whole idea saying it could be for content because the calculations just do not add up.

One user asked: “How old was he when this child was conceived? (with crying emojis).”

Many other TikTok users took to the comment section:

One user said: “People are bashing this guy whilst he’s actually present for his kid and still pushing to get his own education.”

Another user asked: “What about parent meetings? Who attends them? (with laughing emojis).”

Another one commented: “This is the realest thing I’ve ever seen. May God bless this young man.”

“I hope the mother is in school also. This is lovely,” shared one user.

Another user stated: “This young man is more man than a lot of men out there.”
