Wow that's just crap!! that money is suppose to be for oh i dunno college stuff.... I'd drop the hoes just saying...

hey, # 88: "One more thing, people who get a GED tend to actually be more successful then high school grads." ...are you sure you got your GED because you were way too smart for High School? Then shouldn't you know...it's "than". Not "then"

WTF? What a dick move on their part. I would've laughed and walked out.

#106 - It's funny that you think you're so much cooler than everyone else because you graduated with a high school diploma and took "AP classes." I took every AP English class AVAILABLE in my high school, and left my junior year through obtaining a GED. I proceeded directly to college as an English major, with a goal to become a HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH TEACHER. Don't sit here and act like your "shit don't stink" because you took AP courses -- I can guarantee that has nothing to do with whether you graduate in 3 years, 4 years, with a diploma, or with a GED. You make me sick. #229 - THANK YOU for bringing up spelling! The spelling and grammar of the people who would claim to be superior to those people with a "simple GED" is abhorrent! OP - FYL, I am sorry that happened to you. SUPER HUGE congratulations on your accomplishment, whatever the reason! And I hope you work things out with your family as to why they would have put you in such an embarrassing, awkward position when that was supposed to be your night.

Half of you people are MINDLESS DRONES. My ******* cousin was battling with a disease and was forced (Keyword: FORCED) to drop out of high school. He had ambitions to goto college, so GED was his only option. He is alright now and is now studying in college. So before you little tweenie boppers jump to conclusions, think WHY such things exist (Keyword:THINK (Not that most FML commenter's do anyways)).

I guess they thought someone with only a GED wouldn't be able to figure out what was going on.

They did that cause you got a Good Enough Degree, not a real diploma.

Just when I start to lose faith in humanity once again by reading comments like #108 (who needs to die in a hole as I'm sure he's one of the causes for the situation he describes), I read comments like #273 and #274, as well as some others, that restore that faith. Thank God for you people. OP- That seriously sucks. I agree with everyone who said you should have paid only for yourself and your girl, and walked out. Best of luck in life to you for whatever you choose to do now. Idiot commenters- **** off and quit life. Smart commenters- Thank you for existing.

Wow, some of these comments are pathetic. I honestly think some people on the FML comments have such low self esteem that they strain their brains trying to think of the most insulting, hurtful things they can say to the OP(usually some cheap insult about being fat or living in their moms basement) just so they can feel witty. internet+freedom of speech+anonymity= douchebaggery at its worst.

You shouldn't have paid for all of them, just yourself. Take this as a lesson in life to NOT let people walk all over you. Your family sounds toxic.
