This is one of those situations where you go and when people ask you why your family isn't there, you just make up something really cool/awkward/AWESOME like "my parents are on the first commercial flight to the moon right now" or "My family is on a mountain biking trip in the amazon. I could have gone with them, but i would rather be here with you guys." Or something along those lines, you could probably make up something better than that.

Am I understanding that your parents won't come to your graduation? Why is this? Sorry I just came across your journal, and this seems really shitty of them, and I was just wondering if they had a good reason.

_if_ its important to you, your family should go.
*everyone* deserves to be happy.

heya! I haven't come here in a long time... but it's hard being the eldest child. Always seems like your parents think that commencement is not that important but it is. Aside from your friends, somehow there seems to be a sense of accomplishment and pride when your family comes to see you get that piece of paper on stage. XD

I hope you feel better after the sadness. They might not change but be sure to tell them how you feel about commencement and about your opinion on it. My parents never cared until I blew up on them then they finally listened to me. Now in university, they finally understand that even though they always pick me up last after everyone leaves... that I feel all twisted and hurt inside. I cry and cry but it doesn't seem to change unless they know. It all takes time... but as I matured, they started to listen to me more and we are starting to have a relationship that is closer than ever. I hope someday your parents will understand you. Meanwhile, count on your friends to be there for you. I'm sure they will. =D
