@CoachDawg34: “whoever believed he graduated is dumb.. at the most he just walked across stage so you won’t be allowed to enroll next year(smart move by admin) … they gonna give you a certificate of completion. they will not give you a diploma.”
@LakersVsRockets: “Like what do you even plan to do with your life.”
@ThatGuyYus: “They were so tired of your old ass still in their high school they just gave you a piece of paper to make you go away.”
@arnaud710: “Being proud of this is the exact reason why you’ll never be on top and no one will want you around them but alrightyy. Proud of you bro, highschool grades don’t define you. Get in motion?”
@xohardest: “This means he already had enough credits, but didn’t graduate early. I did this same thing. Had all credits by November, could’ve graduated in January, but decided to stay til June. Final semester was mostly D’s and a few F’s cuz i didn’t have to go to class, hence his absences.”
@recyclingcanada: “Congrats you’re gonna be a bum with no future!!! Have fun making no money the rest of your life cuz you didn’t want to try in school!”
