We all struggled at least once during our school examinations because we didn’t study enough the night before. Usually we tried to answer the questions with whatever knowledge we had, but sometimes our brain simply goes blank. Having said that, we also had friends who wrote down jokes and apologised in lieu of an answer.
Despite the apologies and jokes we wrote down on our test papers, we always knew not to cross certain boundaries and write unnecessarily rude answers. However, the attitude and mentality of the new generation has changed. Remember the student who wrote “Mana-mana rancak berdosa“? Well, here’s another good example of how different the new generation is now.

Recently, a tweet from a user, Pir (@yoursturulypir) went viral on Twitter. Her tweet contained a screenshot from a TikTok video. The screenshot showed a young student looking thoughtful, with the text above her asking: “Why are there no experiments for Form 1 Science Chapter 4?” For those unfamiliar with the fourth chapter of Form 1 Science, or have forgotten, it covers the reproductive system.
The tweet garnered netizens’ attention, but one reply from a teacher who taught Form 1 students left the majority dumbfounded. The user (@mulanzhu), stated that when she was teaching the topic, half of her students stayed silent while another handful got excited. That was fairly normal. What wasn’t normal however, were the answers she received during a test.
When she created the subject’s test paper, she included a few questions from the chapter. Most of the students failed to answer the questions given. However, the majority managed to score on questions about avoiding pregnancy and family planning. Apparently her students were very knowledgeable about contraceptives and the timing of the period cycle.
However, one of her students decided to rudely answer a question with sarcasm. She included a photo of one of the answers given by said student. “How am I supposed to know, I have yet to be married. When I get married later, I’ll let you know :)” the student said. To which the user wrote back in red, “We’ve learnt this, so, you should know.”
Most netizens commented on how rude the student was, or generalised it to the younger generation. Some even commented on the handwriting, saying it was ugly. One user in particular admitted to finding such answers funny when they were younger, but now feel it is annoying. “Can’t deny that I used to be like that and till now, (I) regret answering like that,” they said.
Among the comments that condemned the younger generation for being rude, one tweet has got us ROFL-ing. User (@eznxnxw) tweeted, “Shout-out to my classmate who n*tted during school just so we (could) see the sperms swimming. We did it secretly among the bois & he came out from the toilet after 5 mins with the smeared slide. ”
If this is what today’s teachers have to face everyday, then hats off to them for their patience.
