that was pretty good. You should check out that rant about whatever thread. You might like it. I felt your hostility coming through the internet. It was glorious.

Well this is the definition of "entitled". Thank your parents for putting up with your shit for 18 years. they shouldn't have to thank you for giving birth to you.

If you're going to get anything as a grad present, let it be a trip - a ski trip with friends, an international trip to somewhere you wouldn't otherwise go. Have an experience, learn something about a new place, make some memories. Stuff just gets old and breaks.

This. My parents bought me a backpack and helped out a bit with (what turned into) a year long trip to Germany. I did a crapload of saving for it to happen though.

Go see another part of the world before going off to college/training/work. You'll find a bit of experience goes a long way.

Id go with two options

A laptop, super useful. Or a trip


My dad told me i could have a ski trip for my grad present. Unfortunetly he suffered a knee injury a few years ago and wouldnt be able to keep up with me out west so it never happened. Oh well.

But yeah something that will help you in school or a trip if you can afford it idk

You're only required to go until you turn 18. That meant I was able to drop out in 9th grade.

You don't need school to make money if you're starting your own business. I know plenty of kids who got a trade and make more money than I do in a year, you only need school if you're going to college to get a degree, if not, drop out as early as you can and get a trade or whatever
