Kenyans react to the TikTok challenge
Following the viral challenge, TUKO.co.ke talked to a section of TikTokers to get their personal views of the trend.
Keph_Kinsman said the challenge is good but netizens have shifted to a questionable context trying to show how high school experience was bad.
?I do not have a problem with the challenge but with the context in which people do it. These videos are in the public domain, and everyone can see them. They try to portray high school as a place where you had to impress your teachers somehow to get grades,? he said.
However, he admitted that he doesn't mind participating in the challenge but focuses on the good stuff to inspire others.
U_looklost said the type of information people are dishing out in the challenge is not family-friendly.
She further said some people are probably exaggerating, although she is scared and would not want her future children to study in Kenyan high schools if those confessions were true.
?The trend should focus on lighter issues like being punished for serving twice and escaping through the school window, among others. But the type of confessions people make on the app is too much.?
High school girls excite netizens with of course challenge
In a previous report by TUKO.co.ke, a group of students from Kenya High School fascinated social media users with a hilarious video on the viral 'of course' challenge.
The students creatively embraced the viral TikTok challenge to share insights into their school life in the national school.
The girls took turns giving facts about their school life, with some saying that they shine and wear spectacles because they attend a posh school.
