      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

      Damo art true education is based on property taxes. I live on Long Island and my public high school is veerry nice and luckily we have a lot of resources. But if you look at Detroit or Oklahoma public schools are very rarely nice.

    Tyler, you are an amazing, sweet and FRICKEN AWESOME PERSON! I don't know anyone other than you that would do this for people. Everyday when I get home from a crapstorm day at school, I get onto UA-cam and watch your videos, even the ones I've already watched at least 50 times already, and this is the thing that puts a smile on my face. I LOVE YOU TYLER ❤
