I guess if you are heading of to college and leaving the nest, then yeah, it is quiute a big deal. But that is more about what you are doing after school than the fact that you finished school, if you get waht I mean. So already you are moving on and putting it behind you, and celebrating that fact.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed high school and was sad when it ended. But I am still close with the good friends I made (you will find that you will lose touch with 90% of your 'friends' but the true ones will stick no matter where you go or what you do after school).
