I agree! I went to "the prom" too. But people say that they went "to prom". Really? To prom what, exactly??

People don't see graduated as something that is bestowed upon you, it's seen as an action that you completed. So even though "you were graduated", in this day and age, it is not seen as that. It is seen as "you graduated" therefore "you graduated from high school" not "you were graduated by the ugly teacher." It doesn't matter what the grammar books say, what matters is the understood meaning. So unless you are getting paid for this, relax. If you are getting paid, then ching, ching!

Here you go OP:

I graduated high school!
I graduated high school!
I graduated high school!
I graduated high school!
I graduated high school!
I graduated high school!

OP are you the same person on the college discussion forum who got their panties in a wad about "I graduated college?"
