i was soo excited that i would be graduating i worked so hard for it. but i was rele nervous i felt as though i would puke i cried because i felt so sad that half of the faces i saw in school today i would never see again. i cried during school and for graduation i knew that i would be the frist out of the entire 8th grade to go. i didnt want to go and i didnt . i let down my family because my fears over took me and now im full of regret and i keep crying. its like i stop crying but i still can feel something empty in me and i just start up again. i missed my own graduation and i feel so stupid and so fucking powerless. i cant beleive i let my stage freight take away something i would have loved to be a part of.
has anyone ever been through this. or whats should i do? i need a little bit of support

hyperhottiegirl answered Friday June 17 2005, 11:07 am: well that is normal to have stage fright. it might be hard to stop crying but you have to because you cant go back in time. it was your decision and even though you did miss your graduation you are still in high school now. if i was you just call your old friends and see how it was and hang out with them. hope i helped get betta soon and stop crying.

sweetestthang574 answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 9:57 pm: aww, I had to sing in this big show when I was in 9th! It was horrible, and I didnt do it cuz I was scared I would crack or something. and this girl did it and she got noticed by this guy and shes working on her record deal right now! It sucks that we cant go back and change things.. but the only way you can get over it, is accepting that it happened, accepting that you can change it, and forgetting about it and moving on! Sorry I dont have a lot of encouragement but this only happens to teach us a lesson, if you dont take the risk you'll never know what would happen if you did!
little_lightning_bug answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 9:05 pm: unfortunatly we can't go back in time and redo things, so right now all i can say is just reliaze that you weren't ready for it and explain that to your family, they will understand.
Courtney answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 8:42 pm: Honey, it is alright. At least it was only your 8th grade graduation and you'll have a second chance to redo it all over again with your senior graduation. Don't worry so much. We all choke up and do things like this once in our lives. You're blaning yourself too much. You have to sort of forgive yourself and stop torturing yourself. You know things happen for a reason. Maybe you just wasn't meant to go to your 8th grade graduation, and that's is alright. Maybe you don't see it now, but maybe something good will come out of it all later. I hope I was some help and have a nice day. [ Courtney's advice column | Ask Courtney A Question ]
