Today, at my graduation for my high school GED, my parents said they were getting all my family and my girlfriend together. So we all went out to a steakhouse down the road, everyone ordered steaks. Turns out the 'surprise' was me paying. I only got 50$ grad money, and the bill was 159.98. FML

For one since you only have a GED you most certainly don't have a good job, so that sucks you got stuck paying. However you got off lucky, I'm assuming since it was about 8 people, you got off lucky. So I'm going with a YDI because your a slacker and have a GED. Hahaha

#9 & everyone who agreed: **** you. A GED is just as hard as High School, it just doesn't take as long. Some of us home-schooled kids needed to do it that way to get into college early. Careful who you call a dumbass for taking the GED route when they're kicking your ass in academics.

Wow, FYL. I don't know that I'd ever speak to my family again, you don't just spring a check on someone if you actually intend to ever speak to them again. There's nothing wrong with getting a GED. I got through high school with a GPA greater than a 4.0 after weighting, but my cousin dropped out for a number of reasons (honestly, none of them good ones) but she's since tried to turn her life around and she has a GED and decent job now. A GED is normally for someone who has made mistakes in the past and is now trying to overcome them, and there's not a *damn* thing wrong with that in my book.

LOL at #12, but that seriously blows. They should have made you pay after you landed a new job :(

For people that say getting your GED is taking the easy way out. **** off your GED is just as hard as graduating highschool. And it = the same as a diploma

You're parents are lame for making you pay for your high school graduation dinner. But whatever, I never got anything for my high school graduation...b/c you are expected to complete high school.

lol- that is *precisely* how it went in my family. Words to remember: "...an ultimatum means either you do what's asked of you... or else. There's no reward involved. You're confusing our relationship with that of an employer and employee, son." /facepalm x-D
