[@kelseymoskalew582]

@Katie Ellen Tu What is your problem? Stop diminishing what other people say is successful. I see you replying to comments and you need to delete them. This isn’t your place, your place is minding your own business and letting others be happy.

[@kelseymoskalew582]

@Katie Ellen Tu Like I said, mind your own business please. I do not agree with the violence written toward you or whatever, however we do get what deserve in life. If you put out wrongful negativity, then you will receive it back. I will not let you bully this girl who is excited that she is able to extend her learning at an AMAZING institution. You can’t take your misfortune out on others when they didn’t do anything directly to you. Take care.

[@nauhra3605]

@Katie Ellen Tu What's your problem bro ?? Although it is true that what you said getting into Harvard is not an achievement, to be accepted at Harvard and other universities requires effort And when you accept that it pays for your tiredness while struggling, it shows the results of your hard work, Can't you just be happy with what other people got?? (Sorry for my bad English)

[@afuzzypanda613]

@@KimAhrina11 what 15 year old gets into uni? specially such big ones? unless certain class years are omitted in your school, or youre utterly brilliant, or your parents are rushing to get a straight A's child the day after they learn to walk and talk i dont think its "common". in my country the age is 18, and no options of skipping years no matter how good you are, but it also does exams that foreign kids arent able to solve well(like NEET, or even cbse 12th board which uni students couldnt do). maybe thats why i havent come across any such ppl yet. who cares anyway, the video is about helen and so is the comment, not about other kids. and she mentions at the literal start that she skipped junior year. are you commenting without even watching the vid?

exactly... i'm really happy for her, believe me, but i'd probably go into depression if my parents forced those kinds of expectations on me. luckily, her parents seem like very warm people, and would be happy with just one Ivy League daughter.

Going to a "prestigious" school isn't everything. I went to a run of the mill university and do well for myself in healthcare. Sister shouldn't feel too pressured to go to some school for the brand.

Im not saying this is what she should do of course, but if I was the sister I would be really messed up about the whole thing.

@Katie Ellen Tu Who is promoting violence ?! The video contains her being accepted into the university of her dreams, the comment you mean is He's excited about what the girl got, and what does that have to do with violence, It's not that if you've ever been mistreated by a Harvard student, you have to ban everyone from Harvard, he worked hard to get her dreams university (my English is bad)
