he'll be the smartest but will lack the experiences of childhoods

[flyingnorseman]

What a beautiful family and such an amazing young lad! Congrats!

[kaffydaffy]

Am I the only one thinking about the siblings too?? Like yes he is super smart it’s great!! But I feel like his siblings might grow up with a false idea that they aren’t good enough. Or that he is something they need to live up too. I really hope these parents let them know that they are valid too and don’t favorite the 13 year old boy.

Damn 13 and already started college? Talk about a leap this kids got a decade ahead of everyone. May he become the next Elon Musk.

They should've have him move up grades normally. For most gifted kids, skipping grades can be harmful to their social and emotional development

GOOD JOB Kaleb! This stranger is very proud of you!

[SolSystemDiplomat]

Whatever happens to all these little geniuses we hear about? Ten years later and they are never heard from again.

[jacksonhester]

Hate this story. I feel away for the lad getting his life stolen from him. He will likely end up maladjusted and antisocial. Not to mention the fact that he’s taking a 12 graders spot. Disgusting

[Tianlu-jp]

I’m just glad, he looks like a humble good kid and not one of those people we think they’re all that just bc they’re really good at doing school. He has a bright future ahead of him.

[jameslemon]

AWESOME. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. ROCK ON.

[kaycartledge]

Black boys been like this and there are more too come, they just need guidance and love

[rishiy]

He's brilliant but he's going to have bad communication skills and a lack of friends. Wish the best for him

[σεα-ψε]

Okay cool story but what ever happened to news stations reporting about real news? What happened to coverage on world events and pressing issues? This is fluff journalism

[MessrDookie]

I wonder if he commutes back to his neighborhood to play with kids on the weekends. It’s not like he’s part of the ragers at the college, right?

[odistm]

Mans 13. Out here in college and i still can’t average a c in math as a freshman high schooler

[amoozle]

Damn my dumb ass ain’t even make it into chat tech

[stephenpaul]

His brain is like now that he have been taught how too do things he sees where he can take it further of how it can be used for something for the sake of mankind .for instance what it takes too blast off in space like rockets hell he see and maybe discover a much better faster and silent way too get their beyond .i believe he can becsuse what people brains can't do some can .even with me no matter how hard I try I can't do that but somebody else can but what I can do that person can't do it and for this kid his brain wants too feed of what he wants too be in life because he sees and vision of what he do with his brain and beyond .

Kinda annoying how some people have life on easy mode

[qanonymous]

that’s ridiculous. just another CRT scam

[tired]

Government already started robbing dude and his parents money from a young age lol they ruthless..make it seem like he’s accomplished something but then the richest people in the world barely attempted school. But the media that is advertising the story is making money off of it without them even knowing😢 I really feel bad for the people in the comments saying congrats…nice sentiment but things are not just surface level they are deeper than they seem
