I just finished my last day of 8th grade!! My graduation mass is tonight at 7. I cant wait for high school next year, Im gonna miss my friends that arent going to the same high school as me but High School is gonna be awesome! Does anyone else graduate from high school. college, or 8th grade this year?I graduate today from 8th grade and my bro graduates 2morrow from High School. Busy week lol.
A week ago I graduated from College. I'm really happy about that too, but I may be going back for even more school. :/
Graduate from 8th grade next week. Gonna be sad, hopefully I won't cry. My school has meant everything to me.

Ive been going to the same school for 9 years (kindergarden-8th) so its gonna be a big change making new friends and adjusting to a new school.
God, the way they treat younger kids these days. Graduation for 8th grade. Pathetic. You guys must go to a private school. Or when I was in 8th grade all the special disorder kids got a graduation deal. Just a self esteem builder, you guys must be in the same situation.I had a 'real' Graduation about this time last year from high school

You get a gold star or a medal just for showing up nowadays. It's dumb. Does anybody NOT graduate from middle school? I barely ever went..never did to much and it didn't matter. I spent 2 years in my middle school..big whoop. What exactly did I accomplish there? I don't think I learned anything in middle school come to think of it..it was just a huge stopgap before going to high school.Hopefully you won't cry? please. You are going to school with the same people next year, wtf is the difference?I like schools where the high schools go from like 7th-12th. You probably learn a little more about life that way a little quicker.

Also, a bunch of people didnt graduate, my grade wasnt the smartest to say the least lol.

We're all going to one of my friends end of the year party after which is the only big deal, other than that its really just the same as every other year except we get a paper saying we passed 8th grade.
Im not graduating, but next week is my last week, then ill be a junior. I have sme senior friends though who im going to miss seeing next year.
At the end of 8th grade, our school class rented out a pavilion in the park by my house and we had a big party....I wouldn't consider ending middle school as any kind of 'graduation'....
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Does anybody NOT graduate from middle school?</div>Only two of my friends graduated for middle school, they went to high school but they didnt get the little gay diploma thingy they gave out. and my brother didn't either, hell they almost held his stupid ass back, which says a lot because they hardly ever do that. I do agree that its stupid, so what you passed middle school yay for you. you're parents should treat you to a nice dinner and thats it. but I think the cerimony is mostly for the parents, it's the school proven to them that the school took care of their children and educated them.
I had an 8th grade "promotion" and it is a special thing for those involved. I also had a pre-school graduation with a cap and gown. 2 more years of high school for me.
I'm in the same situation as wadeshaq. Only about 5 kids are going to the same HS as me and graduating from my school is actually a big deal as it is one of the best schools in the state.
its middle school, big deal I dont care how good it is. Only thing that colleges care about is high school, everything before that is useless

The constant pressure to succeed, to get into excellent high schools, to pursue education beyond just for grades, to please parents...
