Want to attend my girlfriend's graduation and graduation party but there's a problem

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>In June my girlfriend will be graduating from high school. While I'm very excited that she's graduating this year, at the same time, she may be going away to Israel for the Birthright Israel program in June. I think it's a 10-day trip all by herself and maybe with her cousins as well. The problem is that I really really want to attend her graduation and graduation party (she told me that it's ok if she could bring guests to the party), which is an all night party that lasts till morning, but her graduation and graduation party could be during her Israel trip. She told me that she rather go to Israel than go to her graduation and graduation party because her father already paid for the trip and she doesn't want to waste money. Not only that but she is going to adult school next year, which is at the same high school she goes to, for one year. She's graduating for good next school year.</p>

<p>I really want to see her graduate and have the time of our lives at the graduation party (which is a school-sponsered party) but I fear that the trip would be on the same day as the graduation. What should I do? Also, just wondering, if she doesn't go to graduation how would she get her high school diploma? Would they mail it to her? P.S. just for clarification, I am already a freshman in community college and I don't go to the same high school as her.</p>

<p>They’ll mail it to her. Ultimately it is HER graduation and party and HER choice. You need to let her make the decision, it is not yours in any way and honestly you sound pretty selfish.</p>

<p>Yeah, it sounds like she wants to go to the trip, so I would support her decision!</p>

<p>If she wants to go on the trip and ESPECIALLY if it is already paid for then let her go on the trip.</p>

Then she’s not going on Birthright. Birthright is free.</p>

<p>There are SOME things that aren’t covered- extra meals, traveler’s insurance, that kind of thing. Maybe that’s what she meant?</p>

<p>Tell ya the truth, I’m not so sure what is free on the trip. She never told me that. All I know is that her father paid for the Israel trip.</p>

<p>If he paid for the trip then it is NOT birthright. Birthright includes airfare, transportation, hotel, pretty much everything.</p>

<p>I don’t know what her father did about the trip but she told me it’s definitety Birthright Israel program trip.</p>

<p>Honestly, it’s not your decision. See what she decides.</p>

<p>I talked with my girlfriend on the phone today and we agreed that incase that her Israel trip is on the same day as her graduation/party, we would go on a special date together after the trip to celebrate her graduation.</p>
