Scared of graduating. i dont know what to do?!?
So im in a huge dilemma.
i am graduating grade 12 this year!
I do not want to walk across the stage. I'm nervous I'll get laughed at or someone will yell something rude out. I just don't like to be in huge crowds and I'm afraid that I'll ge nervous and embarrass myself. I do not want to walk across the stage in front of all those people. I didn't pay for my cap & gown cause I didnt want to go to graduation, but someone payed it for me so now I have to go. I'm afraid I'll get nervous & embarrass myself.. I never like to b around a lot of people, or in huge crowds. I don't want to have to sit in the middle of the stage cause everyone will be staring at us. I don't want to walk across the stage in front of all those people but I have to, how can I not be so nervous?

Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
First: Graduation is not so much for you as it is for your parents and grandparents as it marks a milestone in your life. If you need to speak to your family doctor about a chill pill to take for your nervousness then do so.
As far as anyone shouting something out during the ceremony I wouldn't worry about it. The threat to disrupting the ceremony is that you are all, until you actually have that piece of paper in your hand, under the control of the school. Anyone who disrupts the ceremony or acts improperly could lose the right to walk across the stage and that would embarrass their parents.
As for sitting on stage being starred at. Here is an old trick used by those of us who lecture. In your mind picture those sitting in the audience sitting there nude. Laugh if you want but it works. There you are fully dressed on stage and they are sitting there in their birthdays suits. Now who should be embarrassed.
You suck it up and do this for your parents and you suck it up again when you graduate college. It may seem like we parents ask a lot of our children; in actuality we do not. You will begin to learn this as you enter adulthood.
By sucking it up and doing this on thing you will be giving them a moment of great joy that makes all the years of fear, hard work and everything a parent goes through in raising a child worth every minute. I've watched my son Graduate from College and Paramedic College. All the anguish and fears I experienced as he grew up melted away.
I am proud of what my son has become and the fact that he has saved many lives. Your parents our proud of what you have accomplished and will be prouder as you go forth in life. Give them this one moment.
