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
Collection
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should never be treated like that. I hope you go to college and become successful however you see fit and leave your parents and give them time to evaluate their relationship with you. Good luck

question: did your parents graduate? Not to be rude, but I see that your description is Mexican girl. DO they speak English? They have felt very awkward if they do not speak the language and may have felt many emotions like shame and embarrassment. Did you go to a culturally mixed school where they would see others like them or did you go to a private school? Maybe they didn't want to embarass you. If they did not attend HS or had to quit early to work (or be your parents) they may have resentful feelings as well. Not trying to denigrate you or give your rents an excuse. I just remember seeing several different reactions when I graduated from a large multicultural high school. Some kids were from ethnic groups that have little use for education, particularly for girls. Some parents were crying with joy that their kids were doing better than they did (first to graduate and all that) Some were obviously very uncomfortable and ashamed of themselves. Read the comments see #7,14 and 22 especially. Her father may have been trying to leave because he was ashamed of himself. Also, what's your relationship with your parents. If its really bad.... Anyway congrats, even if everything I said was true, they still should have swallowed their pride and showed up. Also, being the kind of person I am, I would demand to know why. advice: don't burn your bridges and get kicked out till you have college or a job all set up.

Congratulations. Well next time either of them has a birthday party tell them you wont be going because it will be too boring. See how they like the shoe on the other foot.

Graduations are boring tbh. That's why I didn't go to mine.

You didn't miss much, only one of the first and most important milestones of your life.
