If we skip graduation, will we regret it?

My son skipped his high school graduation for health and personal reasons. Nobody cared then or now (three years later).

I’m more concerned about the high school withholding your son’s diploma. If you’re sure that the diploma is all they’re withholding, you don’t have a problem. He will never need that piece of paper. But will the high school issue his final transcript to his prospective college? Will they issue additional transcripts if he needs them for jobs or internships? If they won’t, then you have a problem that needs to be resolved.
