Kid Pays off His Mom’s Student Debt by Playing Video Games, Inspires Netizens

A heart-touching video from 2020 is making rounds on TikTok again. The viral clip of a boy telling his mom that he paid off her student loan debt is still amusing millions of viewers. Shared by the account Christxpherz ( @christxpherz ) the clip says the young guy gave his mom a gift from the money he earned by playing video games.

Paying off Mom’s student loan debt by playing video games

In the clip, the boy could be seen sitting on his gaming chair and wearing a headset. He then calls his mother to break the big news. When he tells his mom about what he did, she seems to be in disbelief. She says, “You’ve already done enough for me” to which the gamer says that it’s too late already. He then says that all of her school loans have been paid off and she has nothing to worry about anymore.

However, the mom still doesn’t believe him and continues to argue the logic. "It’s not a federal loan. I don’t think you can touch that," she says on the call. However, her disbelief transforms into shock when the boy names a person who may be concerned with the loans. "How do you know her name?" the mom says in shock. The development finally sets in and she realizes that her son has indeed paid off her student loan.

She then breaks down into tears and tells her friend what her son just did. Even the boy sheds a tear hearing his mom cry in joy. Respect and well wishes flooded in for the boy in the comments with people appreciating the efforts. "Bro, props, and respect as a mom to another mom as a kid he did good. Mom taught you well, son," wrote user @ladyredhood6 .
