High school is supposed to be a time to make lifelong memories with friends filled with laughter and shared experiences. Yet, for one local student, these moments are spent isolated from her peers.

Stalling in the bathroom stall

Sibonokuhle Ndlela took to her TikTok account (@poetic.hun) and uploaded a video of herself sitting on the floor in a bathroom stall at her Johannesburg high school. The teen poses for the camera with a neutral expression while other students are heard in the background.
