feeling sad about graduating...
... i know this is unusual since evryone in my grade is really happy and excited about graduating, but i just feel really depressed. not just abt not seeing my mates, cuz i will take the effort to meet up with them in uni... its just you know a kind of life. i will miss school, i will miss the atmosphere, heck i'll even miss the library and the evil librarians.
i dont know what to do. i feel theres so much left unaccomplished. my childhood years are being thrown away and i will be thrust into adulthood, responsibilty etc etc. i feel massively unprepared and sad. i just dont want to grow up. ( i know im sad)
trouble is, i dont even know if im uni yet and if i fail, i'll have to do retakes next year so whats the god damn point of graduating anyway!
damn the melodrama with high school, i never had the fairytale stuff and its over.
sorry for the long rant, just a tad confused, upset and angry. xx help....

are you American?
(Just thought maybe you are because you're calling leaving high school "graduation", whereas in the UK graduation is getting your degree).

I think your feelings are perfectly normal. I personally didn't feel sad because I didn't like my school towards the end, but if you've been really happy there then it's inevitably. However just remember that you have you entire life ahead, your uni years - the good times are all to come

Ive been feeling like that for weeks. In fact just about every conversation ive had since the end of school has started "do you remeber when..." "y'know who im gonna miss..."
Then again ive always been a nostalgia-holic. I dont know what you can do about it really. Im not sure if I'll ever be as happy again as i was last summer.
Ah well, nothing you can do about it

Just remember, you'll be able to see all your friends when you're at home in the long university holidays. I'm gonna miss everything here, but at the same time I'm raring to go!
Hi, I just wanted to say I know exactly how you feel. I myself have only just left school and for weeks before the end, I had been feeling sad about the whole thing. I had had the best year of my school life (new friends etc.), nice new common room which was my home every break and lunch time chatting to my friends, I just didn't want to leave my mates. I think it's because it had been a way of life for so long- 7 years!!
Don't despair though, I have got used to the fact that I do not have to go to school anymore. If I can, I'm sure you can aswell. Hey, just think about all the free time you'll have. 
Don't worry, you'll be fine, it's only normal, just make sure that you keep in contact with as many mates as you can and it will all fall into place, I promise.
Goodluck xo (Sorry it is so long winded)

it is like the end of an era isn't it? your whole life all you have known is school school school! you will never get your school days back so you have to keep in touch with as many mates as possible and store lots of memories away in diaries and photographs so you have something to look at years later. i loved school, and what makes it even sadder for me is that the whole school is getting knocked down in a week, they are making flats in place of it and there's a new school built to replace it. so i won't even have anything to come back and visit in 5 years time... boohoo

ahh its normal to feel depressed, its a big change isn't it. there'll always be something new to look forward in each stage of your life though. it's always felt like my childhoods disapeared too quick, after gcses and then a-levels, but you adapt quickly. its ok to reminisce. you quickly get used to new responsibility of stuff at uni or a new job or whatever, and it just becomes normal. just try and look forward to it
hell i'm glad to be done with school and to be that extra bit closer to earning lots of money!! school was fun, admittedly, but i don't expect it will be the best part of my life! made good friends, true, but what has that got to do with school? thats got to do with u, and ur friends are still going to be around to meet up with u! and u'll probably make many more (better) friends at uni.... YERH **** SCHOOL CYA LATER ****ERS!

i dont agree with you at all there. Id rather be in school laughing and enjoying everyday than be some stressed out lawyer in a big city or whatever. I mean a Porsche would be nice but it wont make you as happy as your first girlfriend did. haha oh im such a loser, sorry about that

ahh im REALLY sad about leaving...not just school, but leaving the city behind and all the people in it. people keep saying its ok, we'l still meet up and stuff but its never going to be the same again is it...cos people change when they go to univeristy. im meant to be going this year but im seriously considering takin a gap year now just so i can spend another year here, with all the people i dont want to leave behind! also, theres so little time left, like just over 2 months til uni starts...and suddenly everything seems so much more important and u begin to realise things u never realised before...like how much u love people and feelings u never realised u had come to light. haha, now who's being sad....

Yeah so do I. I won't miss my mates that much cos I'll see them again, but i'll miss the atmosphere of my school, the people of different nationalities having friends from dennmark, sweden, slovenia, portugal, france, germany and waht they have brought to me, I have been with the same people for 7 years everyday and have sort of grown up with them. Then funny enough, I'll also miss the people I have met recently, a just met this guy downtown and he's become part of our group now and even though I don't know him well, his humour and presence makes me happy. I'll also miss the teachers and all my life in Belgium, like the student bar where we'd regularly meet and I could always find a familiar face, the trips downtown, the pasta van..... all these little details about school and my old home, I'm gonna miss tremendously. Even though Iwill see my friends again, I'll never see everyone as a group all reunited again.....
All our conversations recently have been " remember when such and such" so nostlagic.

thanks a lot for posting y'all. im glad to know im not the only one whose gonna be all tears come tomorrow. i empathise with you guys 100% (except for alisama , sorry, but i dont think anything, no money no porsche, no new friends can match the ones you are leaving behind, the memories, the jokes, your first crush... everything)
but the good thing i realised about graduating is that.--- we are going to, from now on, make our own choices. in school, we were pretty much limited to certain subjects, certain rules, certain limitations, but from now we are free (and responsible) for the things we do.
like any other human being, im sad about letting go off these precious memories, but i hope i'll see mah mates again, and in 20 years feel the same love for them that i do now (and fingers crossed they wont change and will still be their adorable selves). but yeah, we gotta stand up and embrace our destiny.
thank you all for posting! loved reading through them!
grad tomorrow... will post back and tell you if i cried enough to wet my dress (haha im such a loser) good luck y'all! xoxox
ps: im not american. but we call it the graduation here too.
