What the eff is up with this? So, little Brockina Landers, whom I of course love and adore dearly, is "graduating" from 8th grade this year and her school as per usual is having some long elaborate ceremony complete with caps and gowns. Even worse, many parents are throwing even more long and elaborate and probably expensive graduation parties that are entering Blingiest Sweet 16 territory. Of course her terrible human being of a mother is throwing one of these stupid parties and has been sending me updates of stuff that I will need to do/contribute. I think I will buy all the kids a really fancy blue ribbon, or maybe even some kind of trophy and of course the trophies will all be the same size because this is nothing more than a god damn participation event.
Guess what, kids: Passing 8th grade doesn't get you crap in my book. You haven't graduated from jack crap yet. It is not something to be celebrated or treated like some big accomplishment. This is one of many little things that are slowly but surely killing America.
Do you know what my school did when we graduated.....er, passed 8th grade? They basically told us to clean out our lockers and GTFO. Am I overreacting to this? White Midwesterners thread? Master Butthurt thread?? /rant
