Will not attending my high school graduation ceremony affect me in the future?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

I don’t like ceremonies, so I’m probably not going to my high school’s graduation ceremony. We have to rehearse for hours before the actual ceremony, and if my middle school graduation ceremony is any indication of what it’ll be like, it just seems like a waste of time. I also don’t want to pay for a gown & cap.

Is it necessary to go? If I don’t go, will I be missing out on anything or will there be any consequences?

example: I’m planning to transfer to a 4y college after 2 years of cc. Will whatever college I apply to in the future judge me for not going to the ceremony?

Not a thing all. It usually means more to other people than to you.

Yea my parents seemed quite surprised that I don’t want to go, but they aren’t pressuring me to go or anything.

Colleges won’t know if you didn’t attend the ceremony. There wouldn’t be any consequences and the only thing you’ll miss out on is the sentimental stuff which it seems like you don’t really care for, so if you really don’t want to go you don’t have to go.

Colleges don’t know or care.

I normally tell my seniors that graduation absolutely isn’t for you, it’s for your parents.

You don’t want to go and your parents aren’t pressuring you to go. So I recommend to not go.

Just let school know so that they aren’t calling your name. It’s a rite of passage for you and your classmates. I know my classmates scattered to the wind after high school and I appreciate that last day together.
