I graduated high school aged 20, Ask Me Anything

Why did you graduate so late? How did your friends and family react? What are your plans going forward? Would you do anything differently in hindsight?
“Why did you graduate so late?”
I had to repeat the 7th and 9th grade.
“How did your friends and family react?”
My mom and dad were very disappointed and siblings and friends just thought it was funny.
“What are your plans going forward?”
When I graduated I had no plans/opportunities for the future and spent the next three years as a NEET but recently I’ve been working on getting a boyfriend and making enough money to see a therapist.
“Would you do anything differently in hindsight?”
I would have been more open about my special needs and I wouldn’t have tried all those drugs. I should have put more time into convincing the teacher to let me use my phone during English class for spellings. That could have been amazing for my grades.
Take solace in the fact that the real world is not like academia.
In the real world, you’re encouraged to use your resources and relying solely on your memory is seen as asinine.
I was 21 lol. To be fair I was one credit short for awhile, it’s not like I was just hanging out there, I was working a full time job when I got it done.
I’d ask a question, but I’m not sure I’d trust the answers of someone who struggled to pass high school.
Tap for spoiler
I apologize in advance, I can’t help but be an asshole, it’s a failing of mine for sure. What are you planning on doing next? College? Trades? Military? Drugs?
You really hyped up the question. It no big deal.
What are you planning on doing next? College? Trades? Military? Drugs?"
Would love to marry a rich man (hopefully, my bf makes it big) and move to a warm country. I don’t think I could do any education as I wasn’t good at it for the first 20 years of my life.
Solid plan, best of luck. What does your boyfriend do that has the potential to strike gold?
“What does your boyfriend do that has the potential to strike gold?”
Day trading
In my lowest moments, I remind myself that it’s about the journey, not the destination. You have love and hope, which is more than some can say. Best of luck to you.
Keep your options open. Not saying this to be rude or anything, and hey who knows your boyfriend might be successful at it. But you sound young and you need to realize that the success of daytrading is pretty fleeting unless you have tons of capital and can take some pretty heavy losses along the way. Always have a plan B. It’s never ever too late to better your path. May it be a bright one!
I did say “hopefully”
