okay so i found out oct.5th that my couselor set a meeting up with my parents. FORGET THAT RIGHT i went to class in tears becuse she told me im nto going to graduate my first thought was "why is she douting me" well over the weekend i was stressed and i didn't talk to anyone. I go to school and got called for the meeting i got there.
She said krystal will not walk at graduation and i started bawling in tears thats a scary thing to be told...... after working my ass of last year becuse my credits didn't all switch over from a flordia school credit to a california school credit i went to school..then to night school and i was also taking weekend classes for college credits. over the summer same thing... i worked my butt off to get my credits in order. Well my credits didn't matter my over all gpa does. So now i have to work my ass off again not having a social life and get all a's and b'a i have never got that before how am i going to start now its crazy well i got out of the meeting and i was still crying cuse thats alot to take in as a17 yr old senior. i walked to class and the VP came up to me and askd if i was okay i didn't answer him back and he askd if i wanted to go to the office i said no cuse i just came from there i didn't want to tell him what was going on cuse frankly im ashamed to say it allowed. Im scard im 17 and i may not graduate on time...
THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS ARE UNFAIR TO MILITARY KIDS!!!!!!!!
IS IT NOT ENOGUH FOR US TO PACK AND MOVE EVERY TWO 1/2 YEARS. IS IT NOT BAD ENOUGH WE WATCH OUT PARENTS LEAVE AND THERE CLOSER TO THE PEOPLE THEY WORK WITH THEN THEY ARE WITH THERE OWN CHILDREN. IS IT NOT BAD ENOUGH WE WATCH IF NOT OUR PARENTS OUR NEIGHBORS LEAVE OR FRIENDS LEAVE SOME TIMES THEY NEVER COME BACK. THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE A MILITARY FAMILY CHAKE THERE HANDS TELL THEM YOU UNDERSTAND BECUSE SPEAKING THE TRUTH ITS HARD ITS REAL HARD BEING A MILITARY FAMILY...

I know the feeling. I to am a military brat. I didn't always move, but did always have my parents leaving and I would be stuck at home with one of my relatives. Even now it's hard being that my mother's over seas. The thing with your school will work out. I think it's great that you at least still get your diploma. Right?

I know that feeling too. I was raised military as well. Dad was posted after I finished gr 11 (in Alberta with only one year left to go) to Ontario. I couldn't even get my diploma. I was told I'd have to finish the stupid gr 13 they had in Ontario. So two more years. I was going to be nearly 20 when I finished. I was just as upset. It screwed up everything I had planned. In my life, I had endured changing between 4 or 5 different school systems at least but this change was the worst. I felt so defeated, and yes, ashamed too.
Civilians really have no idea just how tough the entire life is, not just how tough the soldiers have it but how hard it is on us too. Dad was gone so often I didn't even call him dad until I was 8. He was just this nice guy that stopped in once in a while. Your parents leaving for war knowing full-well they might not come back, moving all the time, losing friends every year after school ended(the joys of posting season), changing systems....then there's dealing with civilians who make judgments and discriminate without knowing what their talking about and so much more. You're right. It's hard on us too and it would be really nice if people and education systems understood that. I've always felt that education should the same across the board, that there should be no such thing as different systems for each province/state.
I really hope everything goes smoothly for you.
