DUH. You should let her walk cuz she is still your mother and most importantly, SHE GAVE YOU LIFE. You'll not be able to do porn if she didn't gave you
that body.

Go ahead and walk. You deserve the opportunity to feel pride in your accomplishment.

I totally agree do the walk, but more importantly invite anyone you feel to invite. She will have to live with it! You enjoy your day and congratulations!

Dude, fuck it. don't walk. Who gives a shit. I didn't attend any of my graduations. What a tremendous waste of a day standing with people who bogart all their pot and will drink the last beer in the fridge. The only way to do it is by 'gassing up' beforehand.. Cabbage and bacon breakfast... Chick pea salad with broccolli... Onion dip. then blast out farts during the whole ceremony. With your larger than normal sphincter, you could gay-gas the whole crowd. |

Many people who drop out of HS and say "Oh I'll go back" never do. You did it, walk in the ceremony, invite your friends let your mom deal.

Better to walk and feel like it was a waste of time than have regret about it later on.
But...INVITE YOUR FRIENDS. Your mother has no say in who can and who can not attend YOUR graduation. |

All the while you were still going to school. I, for one, am very proud of you. That is not an easy thing to do. You should be very proud of yourself. I think it is beyond disgusting that she did disown you for a period of time. I am very sorry for that, I have no idea what her issues are. Sounds like she needs help. Over time people change if they want it, there is still time for her, who knows she may change. All you can do is hope for the best for her and go on with you life and GET the best for you. It sounds like you have what it takes to get that for you. You know, it does not really matter who you walk with. It is all about you. You will be standing up there with so many thoughts going through your head of what it took you to get there and thoughts of your future and where you are going to go and do with your life it will be over before you know it.... Invite who you want to be there, I mean really how in the hell will your mother know who is there for you and who is not? What is she going to do about it anyway? Take away your birthday? LOL I think not! I hope you choose do do it. Then after take your closest and dearest friends and have a fuck of a party and celebrate all you went through to get there and most of all celebrate YOU and all the greatness that you are!! |

This is another one of those serious responses.
Walk. You've accomplished something by resuming your studies and getting your diploma. Going through the graduation ceremony allows you to celebrate your accomplishment and close the door on your high school years. It's a symbolic transition to adulthood; even though it sounds as though you have the "adult" thing down already, it doesn't hurt to have some cap-and-gown photos to prove it. Do it for yourself, and not for your mother. And bring your boyfriend; if she's not comfortable with that, tell her she doesn't need to show up. She'll be the loser; it sounds like you're more thoughtful and mature than she'll ever be. |

I say: Your mom sounds like a real "c"-word- a "cranky-sue." Do what you want.

Hell, if you were around here, I'd show up for your ceremony. AND I'd bring a nice parting gift.

If she wants you to walk, then do it. It might be her way of trying to open up the lines of communication with you. It'll be a goodwill gesture on your
part and one less thing for her to resent about you in the future.
It's going to take a few hours of your life - it's going to be worth it. You've worked hard to get where you are, take pride in it. Give your mom this one thing - and if she complains about your boyfriend coming, tell her it's an open ceremony and you can't control who shows up. Besides, one day you'll want to see pictures of yourself at your graduation. Do it. You will regret it if you don't. |

I could care less that I "walked", but I certainly don't regret it. Do it for your Mom. Invite who you want. It's not like you're dead set against it, and there's nothing wrong with doing it for her. Just make sure you do things in your life for yourself too. |

I would walk. And I'm not close with my parents...But I felt that they had something to do with me finishing high school, then college, and in a year and
a half graduate school. I would definitely walk- not that you owe it to her, but if it's something she really wants, how nice will that be!

High school graduation is different from college graduation in tons of ways. Personally, I loved my high school graduation and loathed my BS ceremony. I
despised my college one so much I skipped the Master's ceremony. If I were you, and you'll be in the company of friends, I'd walk. But if you
aren't going to be near any of your friends, and you don't mind not having pictures later on in life, then you should definitely skip it.
For me, the company you're in for graduation is what makes the ceremony special. You can get a degree anytime, but if you can't enjoy it, then it's not as special a moment. |
