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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Parents like them don't deserve a child like you. Sorry to hear that OP.

I congratulate your graduation and finishing your studies. Your parents may not see it but you should be proud of yourself. Keep on going.

If your parents don't celebrate your achievements don't feel bad because everything you do you do it for yourself not them.

My 'dad' kicked me out when I was 19, he wasn't invited to my high school graduation, still showed up anyway, and tried to play the 'proud parent'. Luckily for me, everyone that was there for me knew he was a piece of shit and pretty much ignored him. Sorry your parents are pieces of shit, OP. Trust me, it gets better. :)

As a parent of a recent high school and then college grad, and on behalf of many many parents, your parents act like real assholes.

So apparently, you've managed to find yourself living with the Dursleys. Well, when you strike out on your own, you know who not to call to celebrate your successes.

Don't let them ruin your day. Congratulations on your graduation.

I created an account just to comment on this. Man OP, that sucks. At least your parents actually got to see you receive your diploma - mine just dropped me off and left. I can't remember why they didn't come in with me, but I remember seeing everyone's parents running up to the stage to snap a photo of their kid when it was their turn to shake the principal's hand. So each kid had to wait for a sec and hold the handshake for the photo. When it was my turn, I shook her hand and walked straight off the stage because my parents weren't there. Even after overcoming the struggles of the year and celebrating the fact that I had finally graduated, it was still so hard to keep a smile on my face until I was back behind the curtain.
