I am skipping my graduation

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>but I don't feel too bad about it now. (it was going to be a nice ceremony - we were not required to wear anything particular and it's only 2 hours long, etc.) </p>

<p>I had a <em>very</em> detailed dream of my graduation. It was even at the right venue and everything. And my dead grandmother was there! (though when I realized she was dead she started floating up out of her seat - to heaven maybe :)). And there were also kids from my middle school there, oddly enough, whom I talked to, in addition to my classmates. And I asked how someone's mom was (whom I had known had cancer) and he said she had recovered! It was just the most happy graduation I could ever imagine (and I would rather not spoil it, or dilute it, with memories from a real one).</p>

<p>If a dream is bothering you so much that you reuse to attend a grad ceremony, then you might want to talk to someone.</p>

<p>You might regret this in a few years.</p>

<p>Don’t you want to take a leap of faith? Or become an old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone!</p>

<p>@daxlo5- haha! inception ftw.</p>

<p>Your dream will stay intact regardless of if you go to graduation or not. But a dream will never be the same as the real thing. So take that leap of faith and go to graduation!</p>

<p>Don’t go if you don’t want to. It’s just High School</p>

<p>You get one high school graduation in life, and one chance to skip it … choose wisely.</p>

<p><em>cue ominous music</em></p>

<p>Can you do such a thing? Isn’t attending the ceremony required to receive your diploma or whatever?</p>

<p>that was one hell of a dream bro</p>

<p>it turns out you can do a lot of things people would have you believe you couldn’t. You also, maybe paradoxically, can’t do many of the things people would have you believe you could (like be the president, for example).</p>

<p>People only make you believe you can do the things that they want you to believe you think you can do.</p>

Wow, you’re so deep. Very insightful post.</p>

<p>You can get philosophical about it, but the fact is, it is a good experience that you will regret you missed out on. You really want to tell people you skipped your high school graduation because you didn’t feel like going?</p>

12

<p>or because you had a dream and you felt the graduation would not live up to that supernatural standard?</p>

13

<p>that’s not why I’m not going; it’s why I don’t feel too bad about not going.</p>

<p>@HeWhoPwns: You can get your diploma and other stuff you missed from the office afterwards.</p>

<p>Why not go to your grad but ■■■■■ it up? 8D</p>
