Today, after two weeks of trying to convince my parents to go to my high school graduation. They finally gave in. After they handed me my diploma, they decided to leave because it was "too boring." I'm currently sitting on the curb of the street waiting for my Uber, while people take pictures of me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was my college graduation ceremony. My parents didn’t come because they “forgot”, although I told them and had been reminding them for months. Last year was my little sister’s high school graduation. My parents wasted no time going to her ceremony and then took her out to dinner. FML
Today, it was my high school graduation. Everything was going fine until everyone saw my family fighting over where we would go afterwards. Security had to pull them apart. FML
Today, I attended my graduation ceremony. My parents acted mysteriously and kept urging me to go home, since we had to be "on time" for something. Thinking they might have planned a surprise party, I left my friends behind. I missed my graduation because my mom wanted to watch a TV show. FML
Today, I found out nobody in my family wants to come to my college graduation. I spent four years and $60,000 to be the first person in my family to go to college, and nobody wants to see me graduate because the four hour ceremony is "too long." FML
Today was the last my last day of high school ever, to celebrate me and my friends were going to go into the city and hang out for a bit. I missed the bus they caught into the city so I caught the next one, when I got there I asked where they were. They didn't respond. FML
Today, my mom told me that on my graduation day, the reason she (and my dad) almost didn't show up was because they had to spend almost an hour convincing my grandma to attend. FML
Today, I tripped in front of my graduation class of 225 and all of their relatives while receiving my diploma. FML
Today, nobody wanted to come to my graduation after finding out that my father was coming too. FML
Today, it was time to take graduation cap and gown pics. My cap didn't fit on my head. I'd specifically requested that they make it much larger, but they didn't. When someone tried to force it onto my head, it tore apart. So now I have no graduation cap. I'm so fucking done. Only 2 weeks left. FML
Today, It's been two years since I graduated from high school. The people in my grade excluded me from social activities and wouldn't talk to me. I dropped out of college when the same trends ensued and people treated me the same. For now, at 20, I serve drive-thru to people who bullied me, on their way to party. FML

FYL OP! Next time they ain't invited to your next wedding or college graduation. I feel so bad for you and those other people taking pictures of you sitting on the curb makes it even more shitty. Hope the uber driver was nice and make your parent repay your Uber ride!

That really sucks, OP. Congrats on graduating. You should be proud of yourself.

The only reason I could see parents doing that is if they have multiple kids and you're one of the youngest and they're just tired of going to graduations. That doesn't justify it by any means, that's still extremely shitty, that's just the only reason I could find for parents pulling that shit. I'm really sorry OP you didn't deserve that.

I graduated valedictorian and gave a speech. My parents went out to smoke and missed my entire speech.

My dad chose to stay home drinking, rather then attend my graduation. My mother attended and recorded my graduation. When I watched it I heard her commenting to whoever she was sitting next to about every single one of my friends. EX: that's James, he was my darlings first crush; That's Darcy, her and my baby have always been connected at the hip, things like that. But when it came to me she was oddly silent for a while then said "oh, that's my child" in an almost bored tone of voice. Parents suck sometimes. I've learned that if you don't expect much from them, you won't be disappointed. Also, it helps if your best friends parents love you so much that they offer to legally adopt you as a teenager.

What the everlasting **** is wrong with modern parents?

(For the record, I know plenty of awesome parents. That said, I see shitloads of parents that give zero ***** about their kids, like OP's. Unfortunately, the ones that suck outweigh the ones that are awesome.)

There are more than 7 billion people on the planet, and most of those people are complete idiots. Isolating parents, some people have kids accidentally, some to have tiny versions of themselves, some for social status, some unintentionally due to BS religious beliefs, some just because, and the smart people today, WON'T have kids in the future. SHORT VERSION Too many kids, not enough competent adults.
