Do you even know what a graduation is?
Mental completion of school.
Quote from "john135" »
Did you even read what I wrote? I said the ceremony sucked, but the actual feeling of getting your dilpoma kicked ass. So all in all, it was worth it.
Which proves my original point, you don't remember it because it sucked, you remember it because it felt good.

In all my 8 schools, I never got a lunch detention, and for a while I didn't even know what it was.

Black people have lower education, more crimes, etc., according to statistics, than whites, percentage wise. I think the conclusion is pretty obvious. You are confusing general statements to concrete racism. That's is very foolish of you.

No it's not. The gradutation is the symbol of going to through the entire system of politics and completing your pre-mature education. It is the symbol of you proceeding into college and recieving a diploma.

No. Drugs are a srouce of people with low self-esteem. THey want to graduate, they just feel so bad about themselves that they almost give up.
Quote from "Equinox" »
If you drink you don't want to graduate.
Not true at all. Parties, traditional events, etc. Alcoholics are just having fun and are addicted. They want to graduate, they just are so tied to alcohol.

They don't. They want people to think they are worth something, but in reality, none of them wants to go through high school. They just want to keep going with their dirty, sick life behind the fence.
They have low self-esteem. Their thoughts are all centered around "death" and "being cool". They really want to graduate. They just don't know how to do it.

Why don't you get an associates degree in something. You'll need one for graphics design.
One issue is money but I just figured out that if I wait till I'm 19 this vocational rehabilitation center will pay me through college (because I have ADD lol). The other issue is that I hate teachers, schools, and useless classes. I'll just have to jump that hurdle though:rolleyes:
EDIT:If anyone cares to hear my point of view on the whole black people are stupid bit here it is... Black people, according to statistics are more likely to drop out of school. But what you aren't thinking about are the causes people have for dropping out. Drugs/drug dealing, need to get a job to support large family, or school becomes unbearable because of gangs, death threats, crappy learning conditions. When you connect the dots you will see that all these reasons are directly attributed to low income families and crappy living conditions. So why are they stupid? Because the fucking government cut school budgets and embezzled over 50 million (forgot exact number) from HUD (housing and urban development). When you line this up with my "conspiracies" about the CIA drug smuggling practices, it all starts to become clear. Companies make a boat load of cash off of the prison system, toilet paper, plastic utensils, bed sheets.... and you can pay a prisoner next to nothing for his "job" (more like slavery if you ask me). That offers some incentive to put people in prison, see where I'm going with this? So why are black people "stupid"? Because people with power want it that way. Wonder why republicans hate abortion? Abortion is usually the option for a low income couple who cant afford it. When you have less mis fortunate babies you have less future prisoners. People take too much at face value nowadays. You kind of have to seek the truth in order to find it, but people are just to distracted by games, phones, youtube, porn, television, myspace etc. in order to give a flying fuck. So, in conclusion STOP JACKING AND PAY ATTENTION YOU STUPID FUCKS!
but on topic, graduation is a fun moment in your life, but like john said, it sucks.

I was relieved when I graduated high school, but not excited. I hadn't the energy left to be excited. It was never the best environment for me. I was sick and anxious a lot and probably really depressed.
I did throw my hat into the air, but I lost my tassel thingy.
Well I passed my GED in december last year. And the school has this ceremony at the end of the year like a normal graduation. Cap, gown, diploma, everything. But the thing is it's small probably 15 people are graduating MAX. So I'm actually gonna feel kinda stupid if only like 5-10 people show up. Or even less. But my cousin (he just got his GED this year too) begged me to do it with him because were suppose to have a graduation party after too. For me and him if we go. And there is a chance too win a 2 year scholarship. So I guess I have a 1/15th chance of winning that. And by simply attending you get 2 free semesters.
Thats what really made me decide to go, as I really am wanting atleast some help to pay for my college and if I win the 2 year scholarship I hope it can pay for the bachleors in game developement at full sail for me because it takes a year and half to graduate with that degree at that school. Or maybe it doesnt? I dunno.
Kinda just nervous a bout the whole thing.
edit: just for anyone wondering I believe this is may 30th

Graduation sucks, I can tell you that right now. You are crowded in a fucking classroom with around 900 + people and you have to listen to the boring speeches that those fat drug addict chicks do about people displaying good attitude. After that, they send people off 2 by 2 to get their diploma, most of the time with an asshole with no life.
I highly advise getting wasted before the ceremony.
Ah, no way!. My graduation was an all-night party..... with a hypnotist. At 4 o'clock in the morning, he came out. You are soooo relaxed.... it feels soooo good.... soooo heavy.... (lulz)

What is normal? Normal is a concept that everyone or a majority of people are the same or similar. However, we know that everyone is unique. If everyone is unique, then everyone is different. If everyone is different, then everyone is weird. If everyone is weird, then everyone is normal.
In this whole school topic, I'll have to back up Equinox on this.
I thought it was particularly funny when you said graduatiion was a celebration of getting through "an entire system of politics and"
I may be misinterpreting what you're saying, but to make sure I'd like some clarification on that before I flame you on that statement.
Also, on the whole lunch detention thing: don't be an idiot and you won't get detention.
It's not that hard to do what you're supposed to do, it really isn't. Everyone complains about the punishment, but never realize that if they just did what they were supposed to do, they wouldn't get punished for anything. "But I didn't do anything!" Everyone says that, so please don't respond with that. Whenever I got detention, it was for skipping a class or being late, which are things that were obviously my fault.
I'll be going through graduation next week, so I can't comment on if it sucks or not, but I can say that I am pretty excited for it.
She insulted black people. That's bad enough for me.
She didn't insult black people. You're a bit of a drama queen.

Blacks have always looked down upon throughout history. And they still are. That is why they are left in such conditions.
You reap what you sow. You don't have to become a statistic. You don't have to fit into a stereotype. Any african-american can become successful. They aren't in any condition. They have opportunities to become indepedent of their patterns. They generally choose not to. Therefore, this stereotype becomes pretty accurate. It's reality. Don't be prancy and pity them.

High school is easy, dealing with that many bosses isn't. I had so many people telling me what to do I started to develop a "fuck you" mentality towards them. I didn't respect them in the least, and in turn I didn't trust them with teaching me. I decided to drop out because I felt like I could teach myself better then they could. I got my GED, and now look at my bright future, free college forever Ahh... the sweet benefits of ADD:)
So what? Her being depressed in a black school has nothing to do with your girlfriend. Get a life.
