I want to get a message to the President that he should address the current high school seniors across America. They had their senior year ruined by this virus. My daughter, for example, had her senior prom cancelled 3 hours before it was supposed to start. We were literally putting the final touches on her makeup when the school's robocall came in that all high school functions were to be cancelled immediately. This included prom, all awards ceremonies, the senior play, the senior trip to Disney World that we had being paying for all year, and now graduation. School just unceremoniously ended. They don't even get to say goodbye to the friends they've been with for years. No one is really talking about them. They feel forgotten and unimportant. And, really, so do the parents. I feel that we were robbed of this milestone, too. This is such an important transition for the whole family.
I was thinking that maybe if the President addressed the high school seniors directly that it could ease some of the sting.
Thanks, pedes!
And I’m serious too.
I was in polite agreement with your opinion until that. I get that you had a miserable time in high school. That’s just statistics. Some people appreciated the schooling and activities, some didn’t. That’s a bummer but, just like on Reddit, there are people who actually have a different opinion then you. Weird, I know.
Also, that downvote button is used, in this instance, for people being jerks.
They downvoted me after they posted that.
High school was bullshit. And you're lying about having agreed with me. I call someone out for using the downvote button and then you pretend I was the aggressor. Fuck off with your lying.
Maybe your high school experience was bullshit and you hated it. Not everyone does.
My son has a strong group of friends who worked their butts off together studying and all got accepted to great schools.
Sure the politics of school sucked sometimes (catholic school so less than public school I’m sure). But they made the best of it and worked hard. They shouldn’t be berated for missing out on things like Prom or Grad Night that are part of American culture, even if it seems cheesy to you.
I agree it’s not the most important thing in their lives, but it’s a really big deal them right now, because it’s what they know.
