[quote=Reality]I skipped my HS graduation 36 years ago. Getting through HS didn’t feel like any big achievement. Only a total screw up would not get through.
College graduation I did walk though. There I felt like I accomplished something.[/quote]
I never understood why the big deal either. My next door neighbor’s kid had a graduation party last weekend that went through the end of the night. I remember some kids in my HS having those, but my dad’s response was “Why do you need a party for graduating HS? Aren’t you only accomplishing something that should be expected? Tell you what, we’ll have one when you get a PHD.” Needless to say, still waiting for my party.
