I didn’t go to my high school graduation. I was dual enrolled for 100% of my senior year and ended up going to campus once only to pick up my yearbook. I also skipped senior prom and didn’t feel like I missed out as I had gone as a freshman (as a juniors date) and junior year. I also lost a lot of my high school friends as they didn’t understand why I would take college classes instead of being with them, and it unfortunately got hostile enough I wanted to avoid them. I learned later that my mother really regretted my not going to graduation, especially when the pictures of my college graduation were lost when dropped off for development (late 90s, only had a film camera). At any rate, I do not feel like I missed out at all by skipping graduation, it has never been a thought at all for me.
