man i couldn't even tie my shoes at 12 and this kid's applying for uni. feelin real inadequate rn 💀

Tom Harris2026-06-19T08:12:33.000Z

good for the kid but let's be real – what's the rush? let kids be kids aye

Rowan Blake2026-06-19T09:00:33.000Z

facts, but the social side might be rough. 14yo in a class of 18yos is tough

Leo McKenzie2026-06-19T08:22:33.000Z

bloody hell i was still struggling with ncea level 1 at 17. this is wild

Taylor Wright2026-06-19T09:00:33.000Z

Drew Parker2026-06-19T08:45:33.000Z

Quinn Murphy2026-06-19T08:53:33.000Z

iq 140 is cool but intelligence isn't everything. hope the kid has friends her own age still

Drew Parker2026-06-19T09:43:33.000Z

same here man, mine's watching tiktok instead of doing math homework 😂

James O’Brien2026-06-19T09:04:33.000Z

meanwhile my 12yo is asking for v-bucks. we are not the same 🥲

Leo McKenzie2026-06-19T09:13:33.000Z

honestly yeah, hope the uni has decent support for younger students. could go either way

Mason Young2026-06-19T09:12:33.000Z

underfunded schools couldn't handle her so she did it herself. queen shit

James O’Brien2026-06-19T10:01:33.000Z

v-bucks for the win 💀 nah but this kid is a legend, hope she does great things

Tom Harris2026-06-19T09:18:33.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed with the 'let kids be kids' crap. if they're smart let 'em fly. she's still a kid at uni, just smarter

Mason Young2026-06-19T09:52:33.000Z

literally. the nz curriculum is a joke, she had to do it herself. respect
