You missed a seriously perfect opportunity to open and promote a gofund me to get this young dude new teeth at least. Tf, awful missed opportunity 🤦♂️ sad, how would you like to be like that when you could’ve had easy help?
To be honest the surgeons deserve all the money in the world that reconstructed his face, it's not even that noticeable.
Strong lad. Glad he is alive.
Took the word's right out my mouth??
Looks better than plenty of people that haven't been shot in the face.
And some people would say god saved him 😂. His body and will are fascinating including the doctors, surgeons and nurses who truly saved this boy💪🏾
@@fefe1179Nobody made this about religion until you did. Log off.
@@atomiclena128 HELP ME JESUS HELP ME
What a well presented, respectful young lad. Can only imagine what he went through! Glad you're still here with us 🙏
you can just tell He is a good Soul.
Yes what a lovely lad such a shame , glad he's still here.
Taliban bastard's! 🖕🖕🖕
Jeepers creepers
I can really relate to him when he said he saw the birds and wished he could fly away.
I was not in a violent situation.
But when I got stuck on the top of a mountain,
there were grasshoppers up there.
I wished I was one of them within a few seconds of realizing I was in trouble.
I'll remember that moment for the rest of my life!
All because of the sandys
He is so brave and seems so gentle for someone who has lived through such a living nightmare. I wish you all the happiness and love in the world. I am so sad and sorry you lost so many friends.
the violence he had too endure to become that gentle is remarkable
A soothing voice with its sprinkle of pain. I couldn't wrap my head around that happening to me, such a horrific event, I hope all those involved with the crime get what's coming to them.
‘Life is not what you think will happen, life is what happens to you’
what an incredible man this is. You honour the memory of your friends so well.
🥰this moved me
As a Pakistani whenever someone uses the slur that "we are terrorists", my heart breaks, what our people have been through and how can we be the terrorists and yet kill our own people. I was 10 when this happened and every member of my family cried. Such a brave story teller, I'm so proud of him and a massive fan since 2014. Wish I can give you a huge hug...❤
Brother only you can bring a changes. Take the control of Pakistan back from your army - coming from an Indian
Non Muslims believe every Muslim country are terrorists 😂
As a Pakistani, I remember when that attack happened, literally everyone was shocked and waiting for more news on how many people had survived. I remember seeing a video about a dad crying saying that his son didn't want to go to school that day, but he had forced his son to go, and he never returned. Every year those students are remembered.
It really was the most terrible accident that has happened in the history of pakistan.
Damn that hits
I don't understand why people don't rise up against the Taliban.. Surely there are more of you than there are of them?
Pakistani is a son of india
Imagine the guilt the parent must feel. Although I don't like the term "accident", this was a horrific attack.
I also remember that time I was 8 and was very terrified to go to school. I was afraid that our school would also be attacked.
This boy is a credit to his parents what a gem.
He's a man, not a boy.
I have no words.
@@dudeybagz you have, thats why you are abled to type
How humbling, the next time I feel like complaining, I’ll revert back to this.
his description of the start of his day that day, we can identify with world over - sitting with your friends at school, making each other laugh by pulling faces at the friend on stage - a normal day - then the most extraordinary trauma happened. its unfathomable. this guy is so calm and buoyant and impressive - an amazing character and attitude - he deserves the best luck for the rest of his life
This was such a shocking and brutal event in Pakistan's history. I remember when this happened, our school here in India organized a small memorial for the kids.
Yes very shocking, no one was expecting Pakistan to be attacked by the people they trained and supplied.
@@zyT175 don't matter what language they speak Pakistan has trained them fed them and then sent them over to Afghanistan. I guess they are getting a taste of their own medicine
@@zyT175 again your point is not moot, no matter what ethnicity they are the Pakistani army the whole Pakistani army and the Pakistani government trained them, gave them shelter, gave them training, gave them a mission and the mean to execute it. And now they are getting a taste of their own medicine and now the country is fooked to oblivion.
@@zyT175 no you are just tryna deflect mate, by stating what ethnicity the people are you are tryna make it seems that the issue not the dirty Pakistani government and army.
@@zyT175 again you banging on about the this Durand line, has nothing to do with creation of Taliban. Your head must be up the governments ass. No wonder Pakistan is in the shits.
I had to pause just to express this: this is the most traumatised situation I’ve ever heard in my life. Those poor children, I cannot believe people were so cruel to put school children in this situation. What a brave man, how on Earth you survived- I’ll never know. But I’m glad you did survive to tell your story. Thank god you’re still alive to tell this story, for yourself...and your friends and fellow students. Absolutely heart breaking 😭 I am so sorry you experienced all of that, none of you deserved that! Nobody deserves that!
This must be the first school shooting you've ever been aware of. There have been many. Even elementary schools in America, butchery by machete in China, etc. All are equally terrible by default, but considering all things, this was tame in comparison. Either open your eyes, or shut them off again. Both are acceptable nowadays, unfortunately.
And now of course us the west, the rich, have been absolutely disgusting in leaving the east in control of the taliban,, its outrageous,!!!
@@rukus9585 What are you even fucking saying? it's the 5th most deadliest School massacre. Most of the ones that're higher are from the 1900s.
@@rukus9585 Tame by comparison? What are you talking about. Those other attacks are usually a single mentally disturbed person or student with victims in the single digits. This was an attack by a 'religious group' with military weapons with 132 dead children.
@@isoldam sure, stfu. Better late then never my azz.
It's impossible to imagine that experience and the life that follows. What a gentle man, with a shocking story.
The absolute strength of this man to talk about these things without weeping. I have so much respect for him. I would be in shambles talking about something so traumatic.
12 years old watching your friends get shot and blown apart inches from you while trying to survive with half of your face missing.. what a story. What a survivor, I mean wow. Almost as bad I would assume is the memories and nightmares and visions later on. You can't ever unsee something so to not only have lived through it, but to have those memories and dreams at night for literally the rest of your life must be harrowing. I can't imagine what he saw that day, bless him. The initial situation probably lasted a few minutes at most but the memories are literally eternal for Waleed.
What a hero.
I wouldnt say a hero because he didnt save anyone, at least by the 0.20 minute mark on the vid but definitely a chad
Wow I really cannot fathom what this man went through. Truly brave and just the way he speaks is so calm. A true gem and I hope everything in his life has worked out the way he had planned. RIP to all his friends and those lost in a senseless act.
"Life is not what you think will happen, life is what happens to you" I don't think I'll ever be able to forget this sentence in my entire life.
My friend was murdered. I struggled with it massively, still do. I can't imagine losing all my friends. God bless you. Be strong
We can all learn from this brave soul. Utterly inspiring.
Massive respect to him, having an attitude like this after what he’s been through.
It's mind-blowing just how cruel humans can be to other humans.. to children no less!
It's incredible to see how well this man has done & how he showed those evil pricks that he's built differently to them.
The trauma can't have been easy, but he seems to have not let that affect his education & that really is admirable.
my heart breaks for him. what courage waleed has through the most unimaginable pain he's suffered. i just want to give him a hug. i've never heard such a traumatic true story, i hope what he has to say reaches everyone is the world. no one should ever have to live through this😔
Brave lucky fella. Make your life count, you deserve it.
Your friends are always looking down on you 💜 stay strong 👊🏻
It's crazy to see how composed he is in talking about this experience.
This guy is incredibly tough, having gone through that and still be mentally sane.
This story broke my heart. I truly hope this man recovers mentally and lives a beautiful life
"Life is not what you think will happen, it's what happens to you" Profound in so many ways. I will always remember this sentence from such a wonderful and brave man. Thank you 🌠
What an amazing young man. I obviously don't know him but I am so very proud of how he's dealing with such a tragedy. I wish him and his family lots of luck, love and life.
what a brave young man, he should be very proud of himself. What an absolutely tragic and despicably evil event to go through
Waleem. You are an inspiring, extremely intelligent and an incredible human. Your story is so profound. The willingness to survive shows how courageous you are. Your best friends who were taken so brutally now live on within you. You’re taking them on your life’s journey also. I wish I could meet you and give you a hug. I can’t put into words how proud i am of you.
This story makes me so sad. Very proud of him for doing this video.
I'm so sorry for your losses. Glad you made it brother ❤
How awful what he has been through. Brave young man, I wish him all the best.
You are an inspiration my man. I can't imagine the fear and pain you suffered mentally and physically. Your someone who I hope lives the rest of your life happy wealthy and free. You hold yourself so well, Thank you for your story Waleed.
This young lad is the face of reslience, we Pakistanis dont go down easily and we will one day get rid of the scourge of terrorism from Afghanistan.
Sorry but the terrorist were from Pakistan and they weren’t taliban .. you are not Pashtun from that region so you don’t understand the political games being played here.. but it was inside job ..
Pakistan is literally funding all the terrorists at this point. Stop being delusional
You were the ones who supported them and sent them to Afghanistan.
And people hope the same from Pakistan!
Very well said, ignore the neighbors, especially the "Namak Harams", they don't know our biggest mistake was to take them in as refugees and give them a secure shelter in our cities.
Bless this poor lad and his friends
Very tough to listen to this eloquent young man. I can't imagine what he has been through. Thank you for sharing your story and strength. You sir ... are a true inspiration. Well Done on your mindset and will to survive. I hope you can be at peace and have a good life.
Courageous young man, I’m so sorry for what you and the other victims went through. But I am glad that you’re here with us to tell your story l❤.
I hope that this man has the best rest of his life, and never has to suffer again.
Omg, god bless this man, he went through something no one could dream off! Ive been feeling depressed lately but this makes me kick myself and realise some people have been through hell and back 1000000 times over! I wish you the best luck and health in the world, god bless you
The anger I feel towards anyone that shoots up a school, you're really lucky. Rip to those lost 🙏🏾
What kind of human being would shoot a kid? I am speechless
A shit ton of kids, pure evil
Wow, that was a powerful and truly sad emotional story. Such a nice lad. Those poor children who’s lives were taken. We can’t imagine what their families went through. Sending my love to him, his friends and all the families who were affected by this tragedy. ❤
Thank you for telling this story, it must be harrowing, you come across as such an intelligent and compassionate individual. Good luck to you.
You are an incredibly brave guy, and you have nothing to feel guilty about. I hope you teach others to be good people like yourself, make the world a better place.
Its a miracle you survived, and absolutely insane you recovered so well. God bless
This is absolutely heartbreaking, what a man he is!
God bless this man , he has alot of courage and strength to talk about and almost re live this tragedy
I couldn’t watch the whole video it’s too early in the morning but bless you and your family. I hope you find moments of peace and your life today is normal and happy. Thank you for sharing your story.
This one really got to me, he made the story much more sad. Bless him and his classmates.
What a gentlemen... so positive after a complete nightmare. Truly heard breaking. RIP to to those lost
"I comforted myself". "I couldn't get up so I tried to drag myself" this young man's strength is gargantuan.
I just want to give this man a hug ❤
I have no words but yes you all are soo brave it is very difficult to lost friends Infront of eyes you know that they all are now in bestest place from world but I know sometime you miss them alot may Allah choose you and others who survived for something good
I am so sorry Waleed! You experienced the worst of humanity and there is no answer that would make sense to explain it !!! That life pill should never exist !! May you be protected from now on !!! RIP to your family !
My condolences 😞.. you're a brave one. Your mothers words are gold. Im touched by your story.
I can't even begin to imagine or comprehend how strong you must have to be to have gone through this.
What a heart wrenching story and what a wonderfully brave young man.
He's amazing so grateful and so strong we need more of this ❤❤❤
He is such an inspiration to everyone, thank you for being positive even when it could have been so easy to turn sour against the world. Thank you for sharing your story
Thank goodness you survived. I wish you and the world peace x
I think this is so traumatising imagine experiencing that major life event and having the energy, sense , courage to still be such a gentle human being. It could of taken him to a very different place. I am still trying to comprehend the utter destruction and desolation. In a school . ❤❤❤❤❤
What a brave, inspiring and remarkable young man. I hope he lives a wonderful life. RIP to all of those innocent lives taken so mercilessly.
What a brave well spoken hero of a lad..... My god he is inspiring. Please let him know that..... ❤
I was in 10th grade when it happened. I'm in India and when I saw the news I had started crying. For a few weeks I used to be scared thinking that what would happen if something like that happened here. I can't imagine going through that. More power to him. RIP the innocent souls that died.
You have came through along way...
Proud of you
It's incredible how he decided at that one moment that he would survive, and he actually made it.
truly heartbreaking
Good god the strength of this man. It’s unfathomable.
We can all learn from this brave and sweet young man ❤
Prayers for you and your loved ones 🙏
What an incredible display of strength. To relive those horrors through memories and still not shed a tear 😢
There are so many points to this that deserve highlighting, But the thing that stuck out to me. This is a 12 year old boy, whos currently going through the worst experience imaginable, seeing his friends die in front of him. But still manages to think clearly, focus on his breathing, even to the point of knowing if he passes out people will assume he is dead and might no help. Its incredible. Waleed you are truly an inspiration, and i don't say that often.
I am also from Peshawar and this incident happened in front of us and still that day is remembered as a black day for Peshawar
I remember this incident so clearly, I’m from India and this unfolded on social media where I had some friends from Pakistan and we were literally in shock as the casualties climbed from 10 kids to 20 to 60 and all the way up to 140 and above..
it was unreal and then I tuned into a news channel.. it was devastating to watch those school kids being brought out in stretchers ..
I still get chills just thinking about it
God bless your heart, thank you for sharing your story.
I hope this guy lives a full happy life.
So tragic . Bless him . The surgeons done a great job on his face , still a handsome young man
What an absolutely inspiring individual,!!!! 💜
His Dad had to recognize him by the T-shirt he was wearing. I cannot even imagine the horror.
what a lovely man ....i was in tears watching this and angry at the same time how can they take a life especially children they have no heart they will go to hell for that i wish this man all the luck in the world he truly deserves it
Much respect man
A remarkable young man with an remarkable story of survival, a credit to his parents.
What an incredible young man ❤
Wow, that is a heartbreaking story. This man is strong. If you're still in the Midlands, I'm grateful you can put another side of terrorism to younger generations. All any of us want is peace.
Anyone who does a horrible thing like that are not human and should be treated like trash
I admire this lad so much
Why do terrorists target children in schools?! Poor lad, I'm glad he's still with us to tell his and his friends stories.
Waleed you are an inspiration and you should be so proud of yourself
Not many of these make me emotional, but when he was describing his friends at the end it definitely made me tear up. No one deserves to go through such hell.
incredible story of bravery, hope and survival
Pure gentleman of noble character
Amazing Strong young man ,God Bless Him
We’re glad you’re still here ❤
Wow how heartbreaking, what a strong man to go through such a awful thing & still be ok
This is such a terrifying event. I'm so glad that you are well, safe and have purpose. I've learned a lot from listening to your story.
I can’t even believe my eyes, seeing him sitting there and talking. All glory to God and my biggest admiration to this young man.
So sad 😔
This guy is so brave and an amazing human being.
How do you justify such cruelties to yourself and your god(whoever that might be)?
I sometimes feel such shame for the human race. We can be so unbelievable cruel and brutal it is beyond words!
My thought goes out to this outstanding chap! Stay strong!
What a strong young man. ❤
