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

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

I am curious as to their reasoning for not wanting to go to begin with. There is no excuse to miss your child's graduation, unless it's from like kindergarten. Maybe if they cant miss any work or the bills wont get paid but I highly doubt it.

I graduated from college with my welding diploma 3 weeks before my high school graduation. My dad said I was lying about my welding classes and my mom that never helped with anything tried taking all the credit as to why I was successful. I just try to model myself the opposite of what they do and I have turned out decent on the outside.

This happened at my college graduation. I was lucky enough to have my own car to drive home in. I'm sorry that happened. Best of luck of you to in the future!

Why is finishing high school an achievement. I didn't go to my high school graduation and my parents said even if I did they wouldn't have. And they didn't come to my Uni graduation because it was "only a bachelors degree"

So your parents are shitty, that doesn't make graduation not an accomplishment.

I agree that it's not some extraordinary achievement to graduate high school, but it is a big milestone that parents should be excited to celebrate with their children.
