Her Dad Doesn’t Want To Go To Her High School Graduation And She’s Hurt
Graduating high school is one major milestone of our childhood. It’s a time in life where we officially close one chapter, only to start a new one.
Some of us may have been gearing up to hop right into the world of trades, while others have studied furiously to attend our number one college.
But, are we pushing ourselves extra hard for our future or our parents at the end of the day?
We have all faced a moment in time when our parents told us how disappointed they were in our actions.
Just hearing the word disappointed felt like the world was ending. For some reason, that one word cut much deeper than most.
Imagine trying extremely hard all four years of high school in search of your parents’ approval, and the end result is them not wanting to go to your graduation.
To some of us, these milestones have a huge meaning to us, and the thought of our parents not wanting to attend leaves an uneasy feeling in our gut.
As high school graduation is upon us, a young girl is getting ready to walk the stage and move on to the next chapter of her life, which in her situation is college.
Her family runs a restaurant, and unfortunately, the graduation date lands on one of the busiest days a restaurant can endure, Friday.

In anyone’s mind, it may seem relatively easy to say, take the day off. Her parents are so heavily involved in the day-to-day duties that attending her graduation would mean closing the dining room and only offering take-out.
Her father thinks this is a horrible idea and wants to skip out on her graduation ceremony.
She was so hurt by the situation that she said, “I don’t understand why my dad doesn’t want to go.”
“We don’t have a bad relationship. Actually, our relationship has gotten better over the past couple of years.”
“He attended my middle school graduation with no hesitation, which I could care less about (I’m lying to myself, I still would’ve cried), but it’s not as important of a milestone as my HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION.”
Laughing light-heartedly, her mom announced her dad not wanting to attend her graduation with ease.
This, in return, made her extra uneasy as it was clearly evident her father had no intention of attending.
Feeling as though her parents are not proud of her for her accomplishment, she wants to tell them both to stay home instead of bothering to be there.
Knowing that her main goal was to go to school, get good grades, a career, and help support her family for all they have done for her, should she tell them how she feels?
