re: Why are people so excited about graduating high school?

The fact that our society makes such a big deal about graduating high school says a lot about how we got where we are.

You’ve literally done the most basic thing in life that you absolutely need to do to not be homeless. You’re not some kind of genius that can’t be held back, you’re a complete moron with no skills.

And parents instigate it. I’m tired of these functional retards celebrating being able to read on a 5th grade level.

I think your disdain is off. It comes across as "Get of my lawn bluster" or just you are a miserable person.

HS graduation is a celebration of a 12 year grind. It is the completion of being kids and the start of adulthood. After HS, kids will either go to college or hopefully start some kind of gainful employment. The chains are off and the world is now at their choosing. No reason not to celebrate, encourage our young ones for crossing this hurdle and acknowledge them as they move on to a life that is mostly up to their choosing.
