I was so glad to see this thread. My S is also not wanting to participate in graduation or any senior activities, mostly because he went through pretty traumatic hazing/bullying incidents sophomore/junior year. From that point forward he was somewhat black balled (it was a athlete thing) and really retreated since then. At that point he was gun shy and felt any other kids outside of this athlete group had already formed friend groups and he felt it hard to be included. We are at a very wealthy pretentious very large high school in So Cal with graduating class of over 820. We actually just exchanged his yearbook (paid for last year) for an AP test! Unfortunately other family members are kind of guilting him into participating. I will show them this thread! Thank you.
