"it's because I have a resting Bitch Face" OMG MEEEEEE 😂😂😂

[@Gannonhh]

Leone B she was so concerned!!!

[@JennsCrazyLife]

Tyler’s old high school is SO NICE looking ♥️

[@MeganLavery]

Jenn'sCrazyLife its my school, so thank you!

[@DanielGomez-rt8hl]

Yeah because it’s not Lansing like he always says. Like stop lying Tyler, claiming it in earlier videos for what? Okemos is so rich compared to Lansong

[@hyesuwu]

Ikr my high school looks like shit

[@b-realentertainment4815]

Jenn'sCrazyLife lmao I go to school there

[@chloereynolds8519]

it is really nice compared to the local schools - Okemos was one of my high school's rivals and they've got so much better stuff than we did

[@TheFeverBieber123]

Your former teachers look so young to have been teaching for around 10 years!!

[@ashloomis6017]

Sone of our teachers have been teaching for around 40 years. I go to this school, and its exactly how he portrayed it

[@franniewalton3541]

your teachers still look they’re in their 20s what. also the editing on this is 👌🏻

[@noelliespinelli]

Melissa Samluk Ha, think I found a teacher... ;)

[@jacobmiller2965]

Mrs freeman was cute too, lotta baggage

[@taylorvall9709]

tyler you're so buff. i am intimidated

[@parychahal]

you know Tyler lifts 5 days a week

[@doney1996]

Tyler is now becoming daddy.

[@molliesvids6639]

Taylor Vall ikr😂

[@CoraCadman]

I haven’t watched your videos for about 3 or 4 years, but now I remember how you make me laugh. I remember how you never fail to bring a smile to my face. I can’t thank you enough for being a wonderful human being and continuing to be yourself. Love u so much Tyler❤️❤️

[@JennsCrazyLife]

Tyler is such a great role model. 💖

[@kailyng.6617]

Jenn'sCrazyLife I was thinking the same thing!

[@romalone6540]

omgg ur everywheree

[@andreamackeypw]

Watching him walk through the same halls I have and the same backstage where I waited for many band competitions warms my heart. Even though we are alumni of rival schools this warms my heart! I LOVE YOU TYLER!!

[@clairebear1101]

3:50 tyler: “hello fellow students” Guy in the black shirt: *who tf is he and what is he doing here?*

[@sbyrstall]

Agree. Who is this guy??

[@WattsTheSafeword]

I donut believe how sweet this video is. 🤣

[@quinndavison1191]

I love it when people who make it big go back to their roots. It shows how humble they really are. He's not "too big" to go home to his small town in Michigan. I love that. As a Michigander myself, WE LOVE YOU TYLER💚💚

[@Ruebzzz]

Quinn Davison 💙💛*

[@hannah91895]

*I thought it was going to be Ellen*

[@raulhuerta9113]

Hannah Wommack he should go back and this time with ellen, she would have such a cute reaction!

[@carterhaugenmusic]

She’s my English teacher and she’s honestly the best

[@nicogs97]

The shade of it all

[@CathyXO]

This was such a nice video to watch :) would love to be at your level of success and be able to look back at my HS like you are now.

[@vera_nika2]

Cathy XO my HS gives me still anxiety lol

[@brittany65]

Cathy XO me too! I’m new to KZbin and plan on making lots of fantastic content for my viewers. I wish you all the success! I’ve subscribed. Best of luck

[@CathyXO]

brittany holloway hi!! Thank you, I’m subscribing to you and we just gotta think positive 💗

[@JoseSanchez-bp7xz]

Cathy XO This guy is a total nerd with a huge need for attention. High school was fun though. It would have been nice to stay at those ages forever, but you have to get older And move on with your life. No offense if you like him.

[@JoseSanchez-bp7xz]

brittany holloway Yeah, why doesn’t the entire world get on youtube and show everyone how big our Egos are? They don’t make that much money.

[@troyforbush4053]

I see me!! The rest of Someko and I loved singing the national anthem with you! We couldn’t be more grateful to have someone as influential as you representing our Okemos community in such a heartwarming way :) ❤️

[@TylerOakley]

thanks for letting me crash class!!

[@MeganLavery]

Hey Troy!

[@alyrenee2518]

[@bradlaplante]

Tyler, these videos are the perfect example of someone who's improved so much. How you inspire so many others is incredibly inspiring. And watching these 'Going Home' videos is so heartwarming on a new level since you've grown so much. Things really do get better.

[@chipperina1]

I wish teachers were like that in Italy too

[@giuliaperrini]

Maria Colombi anche io 👌

[@laurelcooley8164]

Ywah. Our teachers are amazing 😂

[@rainmiller9688]

Devo dire che i miei prof sono molto gentili, però il rapporto è sempre formale

[@meggz35]

Not all American teachers are like this unfortunately, but there are many awesome ones!

[@gianella9920]

Magari

[@SlowllyDrifting]

We love when you come home to visit Okemos!! Thanks for being a light to our community! ❤️

[@PrincessFantasyStar]

You are amazing, Tyler. Be sure to keep inspiring people every day. 😊😊😊😀 You make me smile every day, and I hope you keep making people smile as well!

[@sarahpadilla6837]

as a fellow michigander this really made my day that you love your home town and can go back to your roots 💘 we love u Tyler

[@AlexCenta]

The video is the sweetest just by itself already, but you setting up a scholarship is just unbelievably beautiful. You are such an incredible person with an enormous heart and I really hope you will find nothing but happiness wherever you go in your life, whatever you do and whoever you do it with ❤

[@KatyGilsenan]
