I graduate highschool tonight Options

[CelicaBuddy]

and I'm so not ready emotionally for it...

My best friend is going away to the army, my other close friends are going away to college far away... Meanwhile, I'm just hanging around here going to a community college... I'm going to miss everyone terribly.

But I'm also kinda excited to get into the world. But I dont wanna grow up...

How was your experiences leaving high school? I know its not gonna be easy for me... The best times of my life up to this point were in high school...

Leaving high school was awesome - didnt even go to my graduation cuz I thought that was lame personally. I dont regret it. I started college in the fall and realized working 60hrs and going to school full time wasnt right for me so I picked working over school. Now 3 years later im back in school and working 40 hours a week and own an event planning company with a friend that is putting on 10 car related events by December so i love being in the world. I dont talk to anyone I went to high school with and thats fine with me.

Congrats on Graduating and have fun! :-) Shall we expect drunks posts tonight?

Graduation ceremonies may be "lame" but it's something that parents love watching none the less... I mean by all means take your high road and be too cool to look back... but realize you took an experience away from the ones who wanted to see forever.... And even if they do say it's ok and only what you want, they are lieing, they have waited (in most cases) 18 years for the day you finally go off to the real world.... It's not always about you at this point.... Sure I didn't thoroughly enjoy my graduation, but I enjoyed seeing how much it made my parents proud when they called my name and announced that I would be graduating with honors.... That late it's no longer about the student....

My parents have no regrets about me not going to my graduation. My dad thinks its no big deal taht every kid should graduate high school and they dont deserve something special. My mom however only wishes that I went to my prom so she could see me in a nice formal dress. She still brings it up but screw that it was my 18th bday so I went clubbing.
My family is a bit different than most...


Just asked my mom if she regrets me not going to my graduation

me "do you wish I would have gone to my graduation?"
mom "not at all. I regret going to mine.

me "do you wish I would have gone to my prom"
mom "god yes."
